Commonsense through Workshops

At GROW Foodservice Profit, we strongly believe, like the French writer Voltaire that “commonsense is not so common”.

Our views on this are simple.
Management does not have a monopoly on commonsense, but our experience suggests that too often senior management in particular lives in it’s own cocoon failing to listen or seek advice from where the ‘sense’ of the company is most ‘common’ – employees outside of the boardroom.
Organizations must listen to both employees and customers, who often view topics in a much more commonsense manner than cocooned management
