head off

13/7/2020

We use [head someone or something off] to mean:

prevent or obstruct (an anticipated event or action) by taking advance action:
  • The only way we can head off disaster is to improve our service offering and increase opening times.
  • We know the other companies are going to only one exhibition, so if we split our resources and attend all three exhibitions, we would have a consistent visual presence which may head off a fall in sales through lack of attendance.
  • We need to be one step ahead of the competition if we are to stay in business and I think we can head them off by focusing on our service quality, which is something they are lacking.
Our online courses and modules are designed with you in mind:

  • flexible: you have busy lives, so our courses fit your schedule
  • practical: we use everyday examples and situations to help you understand
  • practice: there is only one way to improve; mistakes are there to help us learn
  • support: a personal mentor works with you
