See how business leaders are using the G90 Summit and Smart90 to move from reactive management to structured, confident execution.
From month-by-month management to £1m turnover
Fiona took over a growing owner-managed business facing seasonal demand, stock planning, production issues, and cash flow pressure. Previous external support reviewed the numbers but didn’t help her step back and think strategically about the business as a whole.
Through the G90 Summit process, Fiona found the quarterly rhythm became more powerful over time. By her third Summit she arrived ready, prepared and fully engaged — using the session to clarify priorities and shape her thinking for the quarter ahead.
“Smart90 has given me structure, confidence and real support when I’ve needed it. It’s helped me stop just going month by month and think properly about where the business is going and how we’re going to get there.”
Moved from month-by-month firefighting to structured quarterly planning that cascades into team meetings.
Instead of one adviser giving one opinion, Fiona gets practical ideas and challenge from other business owners facing similar issues.
Orchard Clothing has reached £1m turnover and is now focused on improving profitability and strengthening cash flow.
The process has given Fiona more confidence, more structure, and a clearer sense of where the business is going.
From scattered activity to structured execution
When Michaela and her team were scaling NBR Group, there was no shortage of activity — but structure and consistency were harder to maintain. No shared dashboards, no consistent planning cadence, and no regular rhythm for aligning the team around priorities.
Through quarterly G90 planning and ongoing advisory sessions, the business established a clearer operating rhythm. Today the team works consistently across weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual cycles with clear priorities and visibility.
“It’s helped us bring real structure into the business — and that’s made everything else easier.”
The team now works on weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly planning — it’s become how they operate.
Defined “rocks” and regular check-ins replaced scattered activity with structured execution and greater visibility over progress.
The habits built through the process have become part of the business’s DNA — the foundation for their own internal systems and dashboards.
Dedicated time to step back and think strategically, combined with peer discussion from other business owners — something the team wouldn’t normally make time for.

“It sets you up for the rest of the quarter. Once you’ve taken the time to properly define your priorities, everything else becomes easier to execute.”
“The most valuable part is the chance to bring real challenges into the room and hear multiple perspectives from other business owners. Instead of one adviser giving one opinion, you get practical ideas and insight from people facing similar issues.”
“Those habits are now part of our normal work — they’ve become part of our DNA.”
“The process has helped me look at the whole of business rather than just one part of it.”
