The Business Coaches, a two-person team, are the program’s core advisors. One has experience as a general manager, the second as a financial director.

The duo’s objective is to help brands structure their activity in the following areas:

• business strategy, time management, timelines, business plans, profit and loss, cash flow management, and working with professional partners such as chartered accountants.

The Expert Coaches interact with brands to help them work on the specific challenges which have been identified.

The backup they provide involves expertise and operational solutions. Meetings with the Expert Coaches are scheduled in line with need and priority:

• communication, digital strategy, manufacturing, legal issues, sales, style identity, collection plans, marketing, and more

Talents is backed up by a committee of industry professionals whose role is to track the development of the program’s five businesses.

The committee members, with their diverse and complementary viewpoints, draw upon their experience and networks to give brands the best possible advice and direction.

The Committee meets three times a year.
