Improve your Business

An advocate says ... "I have no hesitation in recommending Success From Within to improve your business' bottom line and to enable your staff to understand where the business is going and what it is trying to achieve." Peter Scolari, Scolari Comerford

If you are after improvement that will ensure your company is ready to access its next stage of development safely and predictably our Business Improvement Program is for you.

We partner you in both the planning and implementation stages to effect lasting change.

Strategy without an integrated method for implementation that is 'owned' by the team has little chance of long term success.

Conversely, embarking on actions without your vision for the future also being clear in the minds of your team soon creates confusion, inefficiency and frustration.  The answer can be as simple as Now - Where - How

In the first instance we apply a rigorous diagnostic which identifies and measures factors impacting on the business.

You will receive a report outlining the current strengths and weaknesses in your business including comparisons with industry benchmarks and standards.

The diagnostic both confirms your assessment of where you are currently while identifying other potential areas of concern and opportunity.

Once the 'Now' is firmly established the 'Where' can be more easily identified. This includes prioritising the issues and developing clear outcomes and measures for going forward.

As the diagram illustrates our Business Improvement Program has two parallel paths.

The left hand side contains the team cycles, which repeat every eight weeks. Typically, we coordinate two project teams (more if required) on a concurrent basis.

Identified impediments to the business are the focus with recommendations to fix developed and implemented.

The teams are coordinated by us and meet on a weekly basis for up to eight weeks after which time new teams are formed with a new brief and the cycle starts again.

This inclusive methodology affords 'buy in' from staff at all levels of the organisation while the eight week limitation ensures each meeting is productive and actions properly timed.

This extra workload on the team requires careful management to ensure the daily imperatives in running the business are not compromised.

Part of our role lies in keeping this balance.

The right hand side contains the strategy, which in part will be developed from outcomes occurring with the project teams on the left hand side.

To achieve this strategic focus we coordinate regular review sessions, usually monthly, with the management team to formally review the rate of change occurring while also ensuring strategies surrounding productivity, competitive advantage and performance measurement systems are being developed and implemented.

Change can be daunting, however the skill of the facilitator and the power of the processes used ensure the best strategies are developed and endorsed by all the key stakeholders.
