KPMG’s Enterprise team is dedicated to providing fast-growing businesses with hands-on support and advice.  This support helps the TechX Pioneers move from idea to reality, quickly!  

KPMG was really excited to work with the OGTC on TechX as the businesses are highly disruptive and innovative within a traditional sector. We also wanted to help the economy in Aberdeen.  We are really excited about the potential for these businesses to grow and scale, and want to be part of the journey.  

We work directly with the TechX Pioneers to identify the challenges and opportunities they might face, and provide them with world-class expertise, resources and a wealth of networks.  

AB15 has supported the TechX Pioneer programme in two areas:

1. Business Storytelling training to help the Pioneers pitch their ideas more effectively to customers, investors or partners.

2. Sales training - the discipline of sales and selling – key processes and practices that emerging businesses need to adopt to be successful. 

We run on a not-for-profit basis and the work received from the OGTC allows us to provide pro-bono support to many charities, social enterprises and early-stage entrepreneurs. Our exposure to the Pioneers has also allowed us to make helpful connections for them in the energy industry.

• Reputation and brand management 
• Digital marketing 
• Web design and development

During a private, facilitated session we will discuss your Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) report, exploring how your strengths contribute to the attainment of your team’s short-term strategic goals.

We rarely succeed in a silo of one! The PPA evaluation will also help you develop a deeper understanding of the strength gaps in your team, our session will challenge you to consider your team needs from a different perspective, ultimately providing clarity on the actual (rather than assumed) requirements.

With the required skills identified, we’ll work together in a workshop format to build your knowledge and capability to attract the people who have the skills you are looking for. This session will be dynamic and interactive. Drawing on over 20 years in resourcing we’ll use real life examples and discuss:

• Describing your employee value proposition.
• Good recruitment practice.
• Building an effective team.
• How to benefit from board members & mentors.
