Business Process Design

At the beginning of your business, it is not unusual for things to be done as the need arises. However as time passes and the company grows, you will find that this approach is no longer sustainable. For instance, some new staff will come along and it will not be feasible to keep reinventing the wheel each time. Also if you have to be away for a period of time, you want the assurance that your customers will still be catered to as if you were present. Developing your business process will take the guesswork out. You will be in a position to identify and tackle the bottlenecks (quality, staffing, or skill) hindering your business.

Is your business facing any of these challenges?

  • Simple tasks take forever to be completed or are muddled up
  • You constantly have to rework finished products
  • Even with the staff and equipment, you never seem to get your products/services to where you want it to be.
  • You are spending money over and over on the same issue with no permanent solution in sight
  • You always have to supervise every single task
  • You are afraid to take a break because you are not sure what will happen in your absence

If any of these resonated with you, then a business process design is what you need.

Business Review

Is your business effective or efficient? What are the numbers in your business saying? How prepared is your business for the unknown?

It is often said that the best time to get a checkup is before you actually need one. The same principle applies to your business. Conducting a business review helps you ask the relevant questions that can bring about much needed change in your business. It prepares you for opportunities and prevents you from making the same mistakes over and over again. We look at key areas of your business such as:

  • Your core activities
  • Sales and marketing
  • Finances
  • Employees
  • Operating strategy

To improve, you must measure.
