BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Is your business looking to improve profitability through smarter & more efficient operations or preparing for growth and needs to ensure the major ‘operational’ components of the business are in good health?
Our services focus on helping you address:
The ‘Business Systems Model’ can be an easy way to prompt a quick health check on the ‘Operational’ elements of the business.
Process
- Does the business have processes that involve unnecessary paper & manual processing, double handling of documents, duplicate keying of information into spreadsheets, etc? If so, now is time to streamline those inefficient processes and remove wastage/cost where possible.
- Could the business benefit from documenting these processes & procedures to assist in training new & existing staff and quality control? The documentation process can also address the business risk of knowledge being stored in the heads of a few key staff.
People
- Does the business have the right skills, personnel and organisation structure in place to support the intended growth?
- Could the business benefit from introducing some new rigour and framework into the HR area of the business (ie. position descriptions, recruitment process, training plans, performance appraisals, succession planning, staff mentoring & coaching)?
Technology
- Has the business outgrown it’s exiting software (ie. MYOB) or looking to automate some key business processes?
- Could the business benefit from making smarter use of technology such as barcoding & scanning for stock control, more sophisticated software tools beyond MYOB, electronic document storage & retrieval tools, and Customer Relationship Management tools?
Strategy
- Does the business have a clearly documented strategic plan or ‘roadmap’ to ensure the financial & operational decisions being made, reflect an overall strategic direction and range of strategic objectives?
- Could the management team benefit from a clear action plan, and some strategic metrics & key performance indicators to track progress & results?
