Robert Linehan, EMBA – SME Growth & Operations Advisory

I help small and medium‑sized businesses improve profitability, strengthen leadership, and introduce practical operational structure — without unnecessary complexity.

With over 20 years’ experience leading large, multi‑site operations and teams of 100+ people, I work hands‑on with business owners to solve real problems, not create reports that sit on shelves.

Who I Work With

I work with:

  • SME owners who are growing fast and feel stretched

  • Businesses with strong sales but weak margins

  • Owners preparing for expansion, investment, or succession

  • Leaders who want better systems, accountability, and clarity

If your business feels busy but not fully under control, I can help.

How I Help

Operational Efficiency & Profitability

I help businesses identify where time, money, and effort are being wasted — and fix it.

  • Review day‑to‑day operations and workflows

  • Improve labour planning, scheduling, and cost control

  • Introduce simple KPIs and performance tracking

  • Turn activity into measurable results

My focus is always on sustainable profit, not just cutting costs.

Simple Systems That Work

 

SMEs need structure — not bureaucracy.

I help introduce:

  • Clear roles and responsibilities

  • Practical processes that support daily operations

  • Decision‑making frameworks for owners

  • Light‑touch reporting that actually gets used

The goal is clarity, consistency, and confidence.
