Icehouse Owner Manager Programme (OMP)

Icehouse Owner Manager Programme (OMP)

Icehouse is an entrepreneurial venture between the University of Auckland and businesses. In partnership, we have helped to assess and train resilience in approximately 2,000 New Zealand business owner-managers over the past 20 years.

The Owner Manager Program (OMP) is a six-month journey of approximately 20 owners per cohort. They work through five four-day blocks over this period learning business skills and how to apply them to the growth of their businesses. The impact over this time on the revenue, job, and export growth is remarkable.

In this case study, we evaluate the impact of 10 OMP programs from the start of 2022 when Covid broke out. This was a challenging period for NZ businesses with prolonged lockdowns, supply chain issues, a mass shooting, and repeated floods. As a result, many of these programs were interrupted or delayed.

The purpose of the resilience assessment and training is to focus on the individual behind the business. We help them to apply the skills of resilience in their business growth journey.

During this period, 157 participants completed a pre and post-Resilience Diagnostic assessment. Despite the challenging context, they achieved a 16% growth in resilience ratio from 1.62 to 1.88, with improvements across every category and factor of resilience.

Working with the Resilience Institute, helped me and my team improve our resilience scores over 3 months. We found it to be so valuable that we plan to deploy it across the Critical Care organization in Europe.
