 The
first step toward increasing productivity and profits is to understand the
purpose of the business. Whether you have been in business for years or if you
are starting a business from the ground up this is an important step in
developing the plan to move your business forward.
-
Purpose includes
defining and understanding the organization's:
-
Putting together a
business plan, or reevaluating the business plan as it exists, is
essential. Together we will work on defining your mission, vision, short and
long term goals into an actionable plan. We will then put in place a timeline
to enable us to track the progress toward the established goals.
The
second step toward increasing productivity and profits is to understand the
roles of the employees in the business. One of my favorite quotes is by
Dwight D. Eisenhower "Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you
want them to do because they want to do it". The challenge comes with
understanding your employees, their skills and what drives them. Then
formulating a role to maximize their potential.
-
Before performance can
be measured it is important to have clear expectations for the role
outlined. Without clear expectations and measurable criteria, evaluating
performance is too subjective.
-
Tools are developed and
utilized to measure:
-
Customer
satisfaction
-
Organizational
culture
-
Team effectiveness
-
Individual
performance
We will work together
to develop role descriptions, define expectations, and put in place measures
to track individual and team performance.
The
third step toward increasing productivity and profitability is to conduct a
process analysis. The objective of the process analysis is for am here to
work with you .... We will work together to evaluate the
existing process and identify opportunities to improve speed, accuracy, and job
satisfaction while also increasing profits.
-
Process
analysis includes:
-
"The
first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation
applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The
second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will
magnify the inefficiency" (Bill Gates). I will work with you
and your organization to understand your current process and to provide
opportunities to streamline and simplify the process, with the use of
technology, to enable your business to meet the goals that we
established earlier efficiently and effectively. Together we will
prepare a plan and a timeline to implement changes that will enable us
to meet the established goals.
The
final step is the implementation of the established plans. Whether the changes
involve implementing new technology, upgrading existing technology, or revising
processes I will work with you and your staff to ensure a smooth transition.
Change is never easy and it will require teamwork. I will leave you
with one final thought and that is from Andrew Carnegie
"Teamwork is the
ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct
individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that
allows common people to attain uncommon results".
I look
forward to working with you and your company to make YOUR vision a reality.
