Former Merz MD launches consultancy for aesthetic clinics
A specialised consulting service targeted at practitioners in the private aesthetics sector launches today (1 April). MiViVa is founded by Stuart Rose, former managing director of Merz, and is designed to offer trusted, expert advice to aesthetics businesses which need some extra support developing the business side of their operation.
There are three modules in the the MiViVa Foundational Culture and Strategy series – Creating a Culture for Success, Recruitment and Retention and Performance Management. The approach has been created to provide the bedrock on which any aesthetics practice can build a more cohesive, purposeful and effective business.
Content is delivered virtually via Microsoft Teams and attendees receive a MiViVa Toolkit, including additional reading references afterwards to allow implementation of the learning in their clinic.
While the Foundational Culture and Strategy series is aimed primarily at established, full-time clinic owners with staff, there is also an option for those starting out in aesthetic medicine. MiViVa Foundational Culture Light Touch covers all three modules, but with an emphasis on the first. Practitioners in their first year of business can access a limited number of half-price places under the MiViVa Bursary Assisted program.
“I'm passionate about the impact that culture and strategy can have on a business, and I've been privileged to have worked with some amazing people,” said Rose.
“Having interviewed over 2,500 candidates for a range of roles during my career I've learned some valuable lessons, allowing me to develop a set of skills and techniques to spot, nurture, develop and retain talent, creating the right environment to let it flourish. That environment, or culture, can truly transform a business. I’ve seen it happen, and when it does it’s exciting – for everyone.”
The modules are pending CPD accreditation. Each half-day course costs £485 + VAT, with a £150 saving if booking all three.
Rose has over 35 years’ experience in sales, marketing and commercial leadership roles within the pharmaceutical industry.
