Business Optimisation
"Building efficiency into all parts of your business is what frees up resources to chase down your vision"
Optimising a business is not about being good at everything, it is about finding hidden value in a business that can easily be unlocked and then working quickly to implement targeted change initiatives. Opportunities to unlock value might be lying dormant in historical pricing structures, bloated inventory or misaligned sales efforts.
The starting point is identification of the parts of the business requiring a deep dive focus. Whilst some organisations have already identified these, it is informative to undertake a whole of business diagnostic. This compares the business’s maturity across its functions to best practice .
