Community Niche
OK fills a unique and identifiable role within the community. This role can best be outlined as follows:
Organization |
Role |
| Rotary, Elks, Kiwanis | Community Service |
| Chamber of Commerce | Business Advocacy |
| SCORE | Wannabe Assistance |
| SBDC | Start-up Training |
| OK | Small Business Training, Education & Problem Solving |
Or, stated another way, if a small business has a cash flow problem, the owner doesn't turn to the SBDC, SCORE, Rotary, Kiwanis, or the Chamber of Commerce for assistance. Rather he turns to his Problem-Solving Team. To his peers. To his Board of Advisors.
There are those special people - consultants, mentors, trainers etc. -who may, on occasion, be able to consistently address and resolve the vast array of small business's ongoing problems. OK believes however, that our peer-learning approach provides the only "dependable and consistent" resource, given the tremendously wide scope of solutions necessary to solve small business problems.
