    • What is DNAsix ?

      DNAsix is a complete enterprise support programme designed to help a range of organisations survive, thrive and compete in today’s increasingly complicated and predominantly digital world.

       

      This innovative platform focuses holistically on the business owner and for the first time includes support around ALL the factors which affect the profitability of a business -

      life planning, financial literacy, business strategy, marketing, content creation and data.

       

      It offers everything that LEPs, local authorities and growth hubs need to institute successful business support programmes including:

       

      • Diagnostic tools
      • Learning modules
      • Assessments
      • CRM
      • Booking system
      • Auditing and reporting

      No one offers one platform which combines all these elements in one place. As running a company because more complicated, any business adviser or enterprise support organisation needs to have a suite of tools at their disposal to ensure the best possible service to clients.

       

      Diagnostics, innovative and interactive dashboards within the platform, assessments and a host of self-help modules along with expert training means that DNAsix truly represents the next generation of SME business support.

      Founder and DNAsix Managing Director David Taylor talking about the three key challenges facing both SMEs and enterprise support organisations

      A sentence or two describing this item.
    • Improving and teaching modern business skills

      Think of a business process and chances are that it is in some way affected by digital technology.

       

      Technology has brought so many opportunities to today's SMEs yet it has inevitably brought a whole raft of challenges. Social media, smart CRM systems, apps, smartphones and AI (artificial intelligence) have opened up hitherto impossible markets for even the smallest micro businesses. However, this same technology can prove baffling to many business owners, particularly older ones who haven't had the time or the confidence to upskill themselves.

       

      This is where DNAsix comes in. Our aim is to diagnose where the knowledge gaps lie within a business - whether they be personal, financial or structural - and plug them with helpful guides, mentoring and support.

       

       

       

    • A new age of business advice

      Enterprise support, like any other area of business, is having to change .... fundamentally! Gone are the days of simply focusing on a client's P&L, target customers and USPs. Today's business advisers now also need know a wide array of business processes - from understanding algorithms and data usage through to creating dynamic content and managing brand ambassadors.

      Making life simpler

      With all these extra complications, it is vital that a business adviser can quickly diagnose where the issues lie with their client, identify practical and cost effective solutions then make sure these are implemented.

    • How can DNAsix help?

      We have a simple solution to meet the needs of both business advisers and SMEs

      1. Business coaches, advisors and enterprise support organisations

      If you are a professional or organisation set up to help SMEs grow…

      DNAsix provides you with all the materials and expert training to ensure you can upskill and educate businesses in your area through a mixture of face-to-face and e-learning, diagnostics, assessments and modules.

       

      1. We help you to diagnose quickly where the pain points lie within your client's life - be they personal, financial, structural or marketing-based.
      2. We have a massive range of resources available so you can plug any knowledge gaps. We can also help navigate your clients to further support using our network of specialists.
      3. Our platform allows you to monitor the progress of your clients online, prepare reports and to benchmark performance against KPIs or delivery targets.
      4. DNAsix also includes a CRM enabling you to keep track of your clients, while our calendar booking system takes the pain out of arranging 121s and mentoring sessions.
      5. Finally, using our assessments, you can ensure your client is making the necessary progress to reach their goals.

      2. Small and medium sized enterprises or charities

      If you are an ambitious organisation looking to take your business to the next level …

      If you are an ambitious organisation looking to take your business to the next level ….
      a company which wants to stay ahead of the competition, or you are just keen to futureproof your business to compete in today’s uncertain world.
       

      DNAsix includes everything you will need to meet your personal and financial goals.

       

      1. We focus first on what you want to do with your life and where your business fits into this. Too often business owners lose track of what they're trying to achieve personally, at a massive cost to their health and relationships.
      2. Next comes a financial plan, which should form the cornerstone of any plans you have for your business. What do you need to pay yourself, what turnover will you need to achieve this, what should your pricing strategy be and how much do you need to set aside for tax?
      3. Your business plan should then be the strategy you put into place to achieve these personal and financial goals. This includes a range of factors including target audiences, channels to market, resources, network of contacts, elevator pitch and long term goals.
      4. Marketing has now come so much more complicated in today's multi-channel, multi-generational world. It is vital that you have a proper strategy which properly aligns with your business plan.
      5. A key element within marketing is now content. What type do you create, how often, where should it be used and where do you get your ideas from? We can help you with all of these.
      6. Then we get data. This is the basis of all modern organisations. Where does your data sit, what do you do with it, how can get the most out of it, how secure is it and can you interpret the data around you?

      7. Your rights
      
      7.1 In this Section 7, we have summarised the rights that you have under data protection law. Some of the rights are complex, and not all of the details have been included in our summaries. Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these rights.
      
      7.2 Your principal rights under data protection law are:
      
      (a) the right to access;
      (b) the right to rectification;
      (c) the right to erasure;
      (d) the right to restrict processing;
      (e) the right to object to processing;
      (f) the right to data portability;
      (g) the right to complain to a supervisory authority; and
      (h) the right to withdraw consent.
      
      7.3 You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal data and, where we do, access to the personal data, together with certain additional information. That additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the personal data. Providing the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, we will supply to you a copy of your personal data. The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee.
      
      7.4 You have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personal data about you completed.
      
      7.5 In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal data without undue delay. Those circumstances include: the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law; the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal data have been unlawfully processed. However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary: for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
      
      7.6 In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the personal data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection. Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.
      
      7.7 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for: the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
      
      7.8 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal data for this purpose.
      
      7.9 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
      
      7.10 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is:
      
      (a) consent; or
      (b) that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, and such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
      
      7.11 If you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You may do so in the state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.
      
      7.12 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.
      
      7.13 You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by written notice to us OR by mail or by private messaging system in addition to the other methods specified in this Section 7.
