BNI is an international networking group with groups in most towns and cities and is a structured networking group, designed for businesses to help each other get more leads by simply looking out for opportunities for their fellow members.

The Mayor commented that it was good to see businesses actively looking out for each other and said that he thought is was a great way of Doncaster businesses doing more business locally.

Diamonds Group Director, said, “having Peter at the meeting was fantastic and he had some really positive things to say”

Now ANEW Solutions has also been accredited by Microsoft with the “Microsoft Small Business Specialist” competency.  This is an industry recognised competency – part of the Microsoft Partner

Program – and to qualify as a Small Business Specialist we were required to have proven competencies in marketing, selling, planning and building Microsoft solutions for small businesses.  This we accomplished late 2011.

Having said that though; it’s not about us!

It’s about what we can do for companies in the area.  We are able to, with the backing of Microsoft, review your business requirements and configure a Microsoft based solution to meet your business needs whether you’re looking into cloud based systems (Office365 is a must) or server based systems (SBS 2011 is the latest product) or a combination of both – ANEW Solutions can assist you in deploying enabling-technologies to increase competitive advantage through increased collaboration, communication and productivity.

But we are conscious that the economic outlook is uncertain and as budgets are strained we continue to support our clients with their existing Microsoft investments.

BNI Gold Club was established to recognise those members who go the extra mile in building their chapters by introducing six or more visitors who subsequently become members.

Gold Club members are easily recognisable because they wear a black name badge instead of the usual grey one. At the time of writing, there are over 540 Gold Club members, who now also enjoy the privilege of a raised profile on the BNI website.

This means from now on David Plant will now be able to attend all training events (now CPD accredited) free of charge.

The Doncaster Diamonds BNI group meet weekly at Bawtry Golf Club to pass referrals to one another and to learn more about each other’s business and the ways they can help each other. Members range from Needmoreclicks.com – Doncaster SEO Specialists, Turquoise Assurance – Doncaster Life Insurance Brokers, to Yorkshire Paveworks – Doncaster Builders and Moirae Ltd – Doncaster Web Designers.

1. Be – what he/she is (beliefs and values),

What makes a person want to follow a leader? People want to be guided by people they respect and who have a clear sense of direction. To gain respect, they must be ethical. A sense of direction is achieved by conveying a strong vision of the future.

The Three Most Important Keys of Leadership:

Studies have shown that trust and confidence in top leadership is the single most reliable predictor of employee satisfaction in an organization.

Effective communication by leadership in three critical areas is the key to winning organizational trust and confidence, and involves:

1. Helping employees understand the company’s overall business strategy.
2. Helping employees understand how they contribute to achieving key business objectives.
3. Sharing information with employees on both how the company is doing and how an employee’s own division or department is doing – relative to strategic business objectives.

So basically, you must be trustworthy and you have to be able to communicate a vision of where you are going.

Brad Sugars’ 10 Principles of Leadership:

1. Know yourself and seek self-improvement. In order to know yourself, you have to understand your “be”, “know”, and “do” attributes. This is possible by continually strengthening your attributes by reading and self-study.
2. Be technically proficient. As a leader, you must know your job and have a solid familiarity with your employees’ jobs.
3. Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions. Search for ways to guide your organization to new heights. And when things go wrong, do not blame others.
4. Make sound and timely decisions. Use good problem solving, decision-making, and planning tools.
5. Set the example. Be a good role model for you employees. They will believe what they see – not what they hear.
6. Know your people and look out for their well-being. Know human nature and the importance of sincerely caring for your workers.
7. Keep your people informed. Know how to communicate with your people, seniors, and other key people within the organization.
8. Develop a sense of accountability, ownership and responsibility in your people. These traits will help them carry out their professional responsibilities.
9. Ensure tasks are understood, supervised, and accomplished. Communication is the key to this responsibility.
10. Train your people as a team. By developing team spirit, you will be able to employ your organization, department, section, etc. to its fullest capabilities.

The Process of Great Leadership:

1. Inspire a shared vision – Next, share you vision in words that can be understood by your followers.
2. Challenge the process – First, find a process you believe needs to be improved the most.
3. Enable others to act – Give them the tools, authority and methods to solve problems themselves.
4. Model the way – When the process gets tough, get your hands dirty. A boss tells others what to do; a leader shows it can be done.

Encourage the heart – Share the glory with your followers’ heart, keep the pains in your heart – Human Relations:

 Office 365 for small-medium enterprises gives staff anywhere access to email, documents, contacts, and calendars so they’re always up-to-date.   Familiar tools make it easy to connect and work with others whether inside the business or partner companies.

The installation took place at Green Solar Installation’s premises on Carr House Road, Doncaster and the technologies will allow this growing renewables company to collaborate, communicate and generally work more effectively by having 24/7 sharing of business information from anywhere with a broadband connection.

“We import our own specified and designed PV (photovoltaic) panels from China and install nationally, so we have staff and business partners spread across the world” commented John James MD of GSI, “We needed a technology infrastructure that allowed us all to share the business information, wherever we are.  We now have technology that will allow us to grow and will I’m certain, give us competitive advantage”

John added “The capital outlay is less than an equivalent server solution from a few years ago and support and maintenance is less as we have a lot of our data securely held in the “clouds”; the guaranteed uptime is 99.9%.  We even have internet access to Sage which is sat on the office server, from anywhere!  The age of office based staff is over”

Andrew Sterling of ANEW Solutions added, “It is great to come across such a forward-thinking company in Doncaster who is eager to utilize the latest cloud and web based technologies from Microsoft, not for technology’s sake but for the sake of competitive advantage.  For ANEW to win this business allows us to be at the “leading edge” of new Microsoft products; which is fantastic.”

Andrew Sterling Director said “It’s great that we have become busy enough in these market conditions to take on a new member of staff to strengthen the team.  We do get a lot of CVs from candidates but Chris seized the initiative by sending his CV to me and offering to work voluntarily to gain commercial IT experience; so he has been working with us as an intern for almost a year now. So Chris knows us and we know him.  To now be able to offer him a permanent role is fantastic for ANEW.”

Chris Revell said “I’m really happy to be joining ANEW, learning new technical skills and becoming Microsoft Certified as soon as possible.  I’ve noticed over the last few months ANEW becoming busier so to join the team is great”
