The Business Operating System helps you:
Business foundational items include understanding how business valuations are completed so you build a business which accelerates its value while ensuring it is transferable. It helps your management team understand your business model, what your financials are telling you, and it can include diagnostics (see Discovery method) to give you a better understanding of the overall performance of the business.
The Strategy roadmap includes
- Establishing or re-evaluating your Mission, Vision, and Values. These are key to having a team who shares your vision, can get behind why the company exists, and fits your culture and minimizes turnover.
- Determining where you are at, where you want to be in 7-10 years and what you need to accomplish in the next 3 years, 1 year, next quarter to meet your long term vision.
- Identifying your ideal customers and establishing a strategy to reach them
Your people are your biggest assets. Having people who fit your culture and have the skills, knowledge, passion, and willingness to learn will make a significant difference in improving your organizations performance. Best in class businesses typically are always developing their people and have succession plans.
There are 7 key financial levers in every business. You will learn what these are and what they can do for your business.
Dr. Demming stated 94% of failures are due to the system and 6% is from the employee. Getting the right core processes identified and improving them will improve the overall effectiveness of your organization.
You are not in business if you do not have issues. It is how you and your team focuses on the important items and deal with the issues which will make the difference. Do you want your team to get 20% of 20 items completed or 80% of 10 items completed?
There are 100’s and even 1000’s of items your team can measure. The key is learning to measure only the items you can act on and are helpful to the organization. Most teams should limit their number of measurements and have a plan of action for each measurement.
