About ProActive Business Channel
ProActive Business Channel is a business news site for the people who make companies work day to day: operations and general managers, chief operating officers, founders, and the teams and advisers around them.
Why ProActive Business Channel exists
Most business coverage is written for investors. It asks what a company is worth and where its shares are heading. Far less is written for the person who has to make that company run on a Monday morning: the one who fixes a slow process, staffs a second depot, keeps customers coming back and turns a strategy into a plan with dates on it.
This site is written for that person, and the name carries the idea. A proactive business improves before it is forced to. It measures what matters, listens to its customers and develops its people. A change of chief operating officer, a plant coming into production, a service centre opening in another market or two operations joined by a merger: each is a decision about how a business runs, and each deserves the attention of the people who make decisions like it.
Who reads it
Operations directors and plant managers; heads of customer service and supply chain; founders taking a young firm past its first dozen hires; chief executives and the number twos beside them; and the consultants and lenders who work with all of them. They work in every sector and in many countries, because running a company well is much the same job wherever it is done.
Business Insights is where managers, specialists and the firms that serve them put forward an argument drawn from their own work.
