If your business is not fulfilling its potential then I can help. The aim of this service is to identify and implement your key business improvements that will improve profitability and drive growth. Initially I will analyse key profit and turnover drivers of your business. Key areas are likely to include sales, marketing, pricing, customer service, and financial management. Working alongside you I will then develop performance improvement plans for each area to deliver profitable growth. To help you make the changes (often the hardest part) I have a several options to support you in the implementation. I am confident I will make a positive difference to your bottom line and I am prepared to make a significant element of my fee dependent on the results.

In a changing world a business sometimes needs to take a longer term perspective. Your time is precious so I help you focus on a longer term plan for your business with minimum fuss and maximum impact. Working with your management team I use the most appropriate tried and tested strategy planning tools for your business. Agile Strategic Planning results in a clear strategic focus, strong agreement by the management team, and a well-defined path for implementing the strategy.

Where you have a big strategic question, thorny issue or exciting opportunity, I will work with you to understand the situation, define the options, assess the options, and make recommendations on the next steps. Studies such as this are sometimes known as a Feasibility Study, a Scoping Study or perhaps even a Business Case. I can help bring a fresh approach, new energy and an independent perspective to difficult decisions. I use simple tools and frameworks to help bring structure to difficult or messy problems, allowing transparent decisions to be made with confidence.

Effective performance management is central to the success of organisations. A well-designed Balanced Scorecard with focused and relevant performance measures is a vital tool. My unique approach enables you to understand what the really important drivers of your business are, and only then are the performance measures developed. It is essential that only a small number of vital measures are chosen to allow you to focus on what is important, and help align staff objectives. A business that uses a well-designed Balanced Scorecard maximises its chances of delivering its goals and executing its strategy or business plan.
