Navii was established in 2020 through the support of a Federal Government grant to support Australia’s small business community. Since then Navii has been helping all types of small businesses to navigate their next steps of digital transformation through online and face to face coaching, practical online courses and their Digital Engagement Health Check.
Navii’s tools and systems are practical and jargon-free, with all materials written in plain English, allowing business owners to gain a thorough understanding of the steps they need to create lasting digital change.
Liz Ward, Navii’s co-founder and CEO, said: “Navii has been hand-selected by the Federal Government to extend our vast network of trusted digital professionals, educators and mentors to small businesses who need it the most. During a turbulent two years, Navii has worked hard to future-proof thousands of SMEs, providing them with the digital tools to bounce back.
“Navii’s Digital Launch Pad Program will directly inject funding into Aussie businesses that want to improve their online presence and customer experience. Navii’s suite of resources is designed to help small businesses cut through the digital maze and make their lives easier”
Fabienne Wintle, Navii’s co-founder and CIO, added: “Today’s consumers are more digitally savvy than ever before, demanding a much higher level of customer service online – especially since the pandemic.
“Businesses that can meet their needs for quality content, delivered through the right channels, supported by personalised customer service, will be competitive in their field. Those that can’t keep up with the quickening pace of their customers’ digital requirements will be left behind.”
