A successful business is a promise delivery system

Do you run a business, but are spending way too much time running around putting out fires? If you got hit by a bus tomorrow, would your company struggle to go on? Do you know a lot about your business, but not enough about running and growing your business? Well, then this course is for you.

Peter Andersen and Bret Schillebeeckx. Principals at Avalon Consulting

We will help you turn your business into a promise delivery system and transform your role from being a firefighter to an architect of our company.

  • Have you built a business - or a number of jobs?

    If you are indispensable in your business, if your company would be in big trouble if you got hit by a bus tomorrow, you may have created a source of income and a number of jobs, but not a sustainable business. Wouldn’t it be nice to run a company which makes its customers happy because it consistently delivers on its promise without your constant presence?

  • What is your company's claim to fame?

    What is the one word or sentence that should pop up in the minds of your customers when thinking about your business? In other words, what is your claim to fame? If you are not sure about this, you are missing an opportunity to stand out in your market place, build a loyal customer base, and grow a long term successful company.

  • Do you want to get the spark back?

    Are you putting out fires on a daily basis? Start building the systems which will bring you back to the role role you initially were passionate about; the overall strategy and growth potential of your business. Start the transition from firefighter to architect and re-vitalize both your company and your leadership.

There are many good reasons why you want your business to be a promise delivery system:

  • A business with a consistent output

  • A business which is able to keep its promises

  • A sustainable and growing business

  • A scalable and therefore more valuable business

  • Empowered and motivated employees

  • A management team spending less time putting out fires and more time building a long term success

  • A re-vitalized business and leadership

  • A business whose success doesn't depend on its founder, owner or leader, but instead comes from its promise delivery systems run by the employees and culture

Here's what this course is all about, in our own words.


The course consists of six lessons, each with comprehensive texts, tutorial videos, tools, examples and case stories. At the end of the course you'll have the opportunity to book a live Zoom meeting with us and discuss the content in relation to your specific business situation.

"I’ve worked for large corporations with big budgets and small start-ups with big dreams. In information technology, communications, consumer goods, consulting and real estate. As project manager, marketing director, strategy and business development director, and vice president. In Europe and North America. At some point it occurred to me that the most successful companies and projects I had been involved with, all had one thing in common; a clear understanding of the promise they made to their customers, their claim to fame, combined with the ability to develop and run the systems to consistently live up to that promise. They were not just businesses, they were promise delivery systems. This realization led to the creation of Avalon Consulting, where I get to share my experience and business passion with my co-founder, Bret, and our clients. In terms of my professional conduct, Warren Buffet, the legendary founder of the investment group Berkshire Hathaway, has said that the three most important character traits for his employees are intelligence, energy and integrity. That is what I strive to bring to the table every day."

"I have built a successful real estate business over the past 21 years, however it didn’t start out that way. In the beginning I worked hard to master the technical side of being a realtor, but I was not running a business. I had a 100 hour-a-week job and all of the responsibilities of owning a business. If I stopped working, everything stopped working. This was not sustainable. I spent the next 5 years building systems and leveraging my time and resources to make sure that I was living up to the business standards, that my clients had come to expect, while living a more balanced life. Eventually my business was built to the point where I was helping my clients buy and sell real estate, and everything else was made into a system that someone, or something, else was responsible for. I had achieved a balanced life, and my business was still growing. Looking back on this journey, I’ve realized that what I had built over these 21 years, was a promise delivery system. I also discovered a passion for helping other business owners create their own promise delivery systems, enabling them to be the conductor of their business and leave the instruments for others to play. Avalon is the brain child of this passion, and Peter and I are very excited to share our knowledge to help you continue building a business you are proud of."
