Opportunity Knocks
Opportunity Knocks is a 501 (c)(6) non-profit that is an entrepreneurially-managed, volunteer-driven business assistance organization whose mission is "Building Thriving Businesses and Individuals". The majority of our services involve peer-to-peer learning, in either a Board of Advisors setting or in a seminar format. Opportunity Knocks (OK) also provides training and educational programs for businesses and non-profits.
Those business owners who utilize our services are people who want to learn and grow. We help mediocre businesses transition to good, we help good businesses transition to great.
Problem Solving: Peer-to-Peer Board of Advisory Teams
The Problem-Solving Team component of OK is our trademark service.
The success of OK's problem-solving format is founded on the following beliefs:
- That all businesses have similar problems
- That, by assembling twelve small business owners, presidents or managers and two trained Facilitators in one room, someone will have a solution to any given problem.
- That fourteen heads (12 members and 2 Facilitators) are better than one.
- That peer problem-solving is the best way to successfully resolve business problems.
- That experience is a more efficient teacher than trial-and-error.
OK members are organized and assembled into teams of 12 non-competing businesses and/or non-profit organizations, and meetings are led by two volunteer Facilitators. Teams meet once a month for three hours and essentially serve as a Board of Advisors for one another. Meetings follow a tested and proven format which includes, among other things, agenda items intended to develop a culture of accountability between team members. Meetings focus on long-term, strategic issues, in the process forcing team members to plan and strategize for the future. Participation in the problem-solving forum allows each member to openly, yet confidentially, discuss business challenges and opportunities. (Read more about our Problem-Solving Teams)
