No matter which industry you are in, your business exists to solve problems. The more complex the problem, the more you can charge for your services, but the more difficult it is to recruit and retain staff capable of solving these problems. During his seminar, Autotechnician contributor and Big Day Out presenter Andy Crook of GotBoost will be exploring two options – invest in skills or systems.
