“As a steadily growing and highly regarded IT Managed Service Provider we work hard to ensure that the quality, consistency and relevance of our work and services are right up there with the best in our sector. With this in mind we embarked on a journey utilising Gino Wickmans’s Traction methodology in late 2019. We got off to a decent start under our own steam… until a few months down the line – when Covid hit. After that, we struggled to make any progress. 
 
Then along came Granger Forson and BizSmart – what a game changer! In engaging with Granger and the SmartStrat® program we’ve now found a way forward. The approach: 
Is really well structured. 
Resonates really well with the work we’d done previously with Traction. 
Has been well received across our Leadership Team. 
Has provided the impetus to ensure that Jireh will continue to evolve and improve. 
Provides a well thought out online portal and routine of events to give you the best chance of success. 
Is attractively priced. 
 
If your aim is “business as usual”, don’t bother contacting Granger at BizSmart. However, if you want to develop your business and know that change is a part of helping you succeed – Granger is definitely your man.”
