What Needs to Change? is covered in this video.
***************************************
In the final 2026 episode of Leadership Live at 805 – Talking Small Business, Andrew Frazier, MBA, CFA looks ahead to the future of small business support and asks: What needs to change in 2027? The future is not simply more classes, advice, capital, technology, or programs. The opportunity is to build smarter systems that help entrepreneurs understand where their business stands, what is holding it back, what to focus on next, and where to find the right support.
Andrew explores five changes that can strengthen the small business ecosystem:
• Diagnose Before Prescribing — Understand the business before selecting the intervention.
• Personalize the Path — Different businesses and growth stages require different support.
• Prepare Businesses for Opportunity — Build readiness before capital, contracts, and scale.
• Upgrade the Advisor — Move from information provider toward diagnostician, navigator, and Growth Architect.
• Measure Business Improvement — Move beyond participation toward measurable outcomes.
The conversation also looks at future trends including diagnostics, personalization, AI + human advisors, growth readiness, and outcome measurement. The larger question is not whether we can provide entrepreneurs with more resources. It is whether we can get better at helping the right business solve the right problem at the right time.
What would become possible if the small business ecosystem worked that way in 2027?
