Here is a breakdown of our points from each event at the FS Netherlands competition.

The Port Adelaide football club of the early 2000s was good, not great. It needed another edge. It brought in Damien Hardwick, old and in his last year, he provided limited minutes in the middle. But as a big-bodied midfielder, he provided a point of difference. Those minutes of experience were crucial to letting the younger players do their thing. Almost every company is built for the status quo. A group of full-time staff, able to deliver sales, production and reporting. But what if you know you need more, as Port Adelaide did, or worse, don't realise you need more? Increasingly, companies are moving to fractional CFOs and COOs. They don't manage the day-to-day, but they do move the dial inside the company, identifying areas to change and implementing that change. They are professionals; it's just that they work with a portfolio of companies, usually one or two days a week. Axant has access to a range of experienced CFOs and COOs who can be your Damien Hardwick, providing professionalism and experience to support your team to deliver more than they can themselves. Please reach out to me, and we can discuss your needs and how we can solve them.

Governance in African football ⚽️ is a big issue in many Federations and its good to see CAF conducting Governance workshops for General Secretaries and Finance Directors.A move in the right direction Many people turn football federations to be cash cows to influence their high standards lifestyles. CAF should create a Football Clubs,Federations Corporate Governance Code, with different tiers of complexity and rigour for different tiers of the pyramid. There would be conditions related to: a clear governance structure with a proper board. the recruitment of people with appropriate skills to run federations and even clubs .

something we can learn in the sport business in Suriname...

The whole can either be greater/lesser than the sum of the parts. For the England football team, the whole have always been lesser than the parts when it comes to major tournaments. This could also be seen from the performance of the England football team vs the Denmark in the Euro 2024. As per the market reports, the market valuation of England players is around Euro 1 billion ( the highest in the tournament) as compared to Euro 300 million of their opposition Denmark. The England Team has the likes of Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, who are superstars for their respective clubs. But when it comes to the national stage, the whole becomes a problem. This tells a very important management lesson, that a team should not be entirely based on player/personal profile, but it should depend on the position/work profile and on who can fit and perform the best in the role. What England team does or have done in the last 2 decades have been building the team on the basis of players and not based on the position/role.This could be seen when Steven Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham, Scholes were tried to be fitted in the team. Hence, the performance of the England team is not a surprise for those who follow the sport closely. While the Denmark Team did not have players of big personal profile but had players who can do their specific job/role at the end of the day. That's what team management is all about. As a well wisher for the England Team, let's hope Gareth Southgate does some bold changes to take them deep in the tournament. It all stems down to the basics of put your team based on the profile of the role and not based on the profile of the person. #management lesson # learn through sports.#euro2024.
