Welcome to E2theMax (effective
to the max) and the E2theMax
Business Makeover Challenge.

Introduction by founder, Jacqui Jones  

Imagine top chefs like Jamie Oliver or Nigella
Lawson just talking about ingredients without showing us what they
(and we) can do with them. A demonstration makes all the difference.

At E2theMax, we believe it's the same in business. Demonstrating effectiveness, while working with established businesses that have been selected for their potential to thrive - this is the basis of the E2theMax Business Makeover Challenge. 

30 applicants in 3 regions will be fully sponsored to gain valuable experience and asssistance throughout the selection process. From 10 finalists, 2 businesses in each region will be ultimately selected for the Challenge team to work with.

If your business fits the profile (see below), check out the Challenge.
You have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

The E2theMax Business Makeover Challenge:    

1. We bring together a team of at least 20
   non-competing suppliers.
   These suppliers generously contribute their expertise, products and
   services and work together as a team with the business owner(s)
   over 12 weeks.
      
2. We select two businesses to work with
   in each region.
   Ideal profile: Established businesses, with 5-10+ employees,
   operating in a key sector for the region. Selected for their potential
   and the owner's determination for the business to thrive.
      
3. We demonstrate effective, efficient use of
   local talent, expertise, products and services
   in helping businesses to thrive. 
   The reveal event brings together the participants and the wider
   community, showcasing the work that was undertaken, providing
   inspiration to others in business, and celebrating with the winners.

 
First run in 08, in 09 the Challenge is running in Hawke's Bay, North Shore and the Hutt Valley. More regions are planned to experience
the Challenge in 2010.
