Free Diagnosis Of Your Business Health
The Small-Medium Enterprises (especially the manufacturing sector) in Australia is under threat from increasing import competition, spiralling business costs and labour costs.
Whilst most enterprises are aware of the problems, many lack the knowledge of what-to-do or how-to-improve and for others it is the lack of resolve to carry through the change or improvement.
Against this background, the federal government has star ted a $350m proactive initiative called Australian Industry Productivity Centre (AIPC) to assist local SMEs by way of hiring a qualified business advisor to offer free reviews and analysis. The Victorian Employers' Chamber of Commerce & Industry (VECCI) is a commissioned partner organisation in this outreach.
