The company’s offerings
Business Strategy Facilitation & Report
Creating a strategy for growth provides an effective framework for positive change and helps to re-focus the business on achieving its Strategic Vision.
“Using our 8-Steps Strategy Puzzle methodology, in a matter of days, and followed up with the preparation of a Business Strategy Report, we assist our clients to develop a coherent strategic plan for implementation.”
The A-Game Business Strategy Development Sessions gives their clients:
- A robust basis for more detailed planning.
- A model for making informed decisions.
- Clarity when explaining the business and vision in order to inform, motivate and involve others.
- Benchmarking and performance monitoring.
- Positive stimulus for change and a clear focus for growth.
- A clear plan of action for implementing the strategy.
“70% of businesses miss their growth goals. This is because a growth strategy typically doesn’t exist. If it does exist, then it’s likely poorly defined and is not supported by a strategy execution and performance monitoring framework.
“A poorly defined strategy causes confusion and uncertainty and makes it difficult and often impossible to successfully execute. A lack of strategy execution monitoring means not knowing if the company is doing what is required to achieve its goals.”
- XLRTR is a web and mobile app business leaders use to guide their people to work together consistently towards achieving a common strategic vision.
- It is a business strategy execution and balanced scorecard system that monitors and measures a company’s strategy execution efforts and guides the people in the business on where adjustments should be made to meet strategic goals.
- XLRTR ensures the growth basics are attended to so companies can focus on executing and scaling.
DIGITAL Marketing Toolkit and SUPPORT
With the right digital marketing tools and support, a business can thrive even during the most difficult of times.
“We have the tools, complementary skills and experience to help a client create a compelling digital marketing strategy to enhance their brand equity, to get more customers and grow their business.”
The company helps their clients to:

- Provide them with the training, coaching and hand-holding needed to equip and empower their teams to successfully execute a winning marketing and sales strategy.
4-pillar Business Process Development
KK constantly reminds his clients about the wisdom of Dr John Demartini when he says: “A company can only grow and scale to the point that its processes and systems allows.”
He amplifies thus by asserting that when business processes are not standardized, poorly defined, or based on informal personal communications, the end result can be a logistical mess.
“We help our clients to understand, design, document and automate business processes that drive operational efficiency.”
The 4-Pillar Business Development Solution helps business people to:
- Formulate effective business processes for operational efficiency and consistency.
- Reduce dependency on the business owner\s and managers.
- Improve internal controls and security.
- Minimize costs related to staff training.
- Enhance customer experience.
“Strong business systems ensure the right structural foundations are in place to allow businesses to assess their existing operations, define an appropriate strategy and adjust their operational tactics accordingly,” he muses.
To help clients achieve this, they help their clients to implement digital technology and business systems so that they:
- Have their operations aligned to their strategic goals so that everyone in the business will know what to do and how to do it in order to steer the business forward.
- Enhance the scalability and profitability of thrir business model – and be able to deliver a unique value proposition that clearly separates them from their competitors.
- Be process-dependent as well as self-sustainable by empowering the client’s executives to better manage, evaluate and improve overall business performance on an on-going basis.

Testimonials
Kim Meredith, CEO – The Dealmaker Company: “KK has been actively involved with The Dealmaker Company for nearly a decade. He is one of my most trusted facilitators and business partners. We’ve worked with diverse clients on a wide range of projects together, and his delivery has always exceeded my highest expectations. His meticulous and considered approach means that he never disappoints any stakeholders. KK is also my personal sounding board – I trust him implicitly.”
Tebogo Mekgoe, Head of MBA – Henley Business School Africa: “KK Diaz is the best example I’ve ever seen in a classroom of someone skillfully shifting people from the comfort zone of not knowing what they don’t know, through the insecurity of knowing what they don’t know, and ultimately giving them the confidence of knowing what to do and ultimately how to improve themselves. This he did, on three different occasions, in a six-hour session with different groups of labour union leaders, who thought they were experts at negotiations at the start of the day, but quickly realised they didn’t know much, and in fact were terrible at the art and science of negotiation. By the end of the day, the shift in in all three groups leaders’ awareness and ability to negotiate was nothing short of remarkable. It’s testament to KK’s skill of drawing people in, making them feel comfortable enough to surrender to him to help navigate the mine field that is negotiations and deal making.”
Raghmah Solomon, CEO – Vortex Design Solutions: “A-Game Business is a uniquely skilled business. They are extremely persistent, knowledgeable and thorough. A great addition to my team for achieving my business goals in social media and marketing. I love efficient companies!”
Westleigh Wilkinson, Former Director – Workshop 17: “We were blown away by the success of the sales training conducted by KK Diaz, taking brand new salespeople and experienced heads through a process that really galvanized the team. I recommend the sales training that KK has taken us through to any sales team, anywhere and from any industry. We really appreciate it and have seen great results from it.”
Kgomotso Sekhute, CEO – Penologic: “Thank you to A-Game Business for all the support through the implementation of our digital marketing strategy. I’m pleased to say just one of the posts reached 5 500 views in a matter of days with no budget, and the numbers have gone up much higher since. Our webinars have gained traction since we started with you and we look forward to implementing our inbound marketing tactics.”
Jo-Anne Hay, Human Nature Consulting: “I had the privilege of working through a business model session with KK Diaz. His experience and knowledge really shone through in this session. KK is a true and natural entrepreneur and has a real passion to share his knowledge and expertise. The session with KK was hugely valuable and I look forward to working with him going ahead. I know that my business will benefit from this partnership.”
