Our assessment process includes an objective operational, financial, and management analysis of your company to identify its strengths and weaknesses, and of ultimate importance - their direct corresponding impact on profits. An assessment of your company will tell you what you are doing well and what you need help with. It provides clear direction on what needs to be focused on, and quantifies the dollar savings recognized from cost reduction, margin enhancement and cash flow initiatives if the corrective measures are implemented.

This includes an internal and external benchmarking of your operational processes and procedures, financial management, systems of reporting and the quantification of their impact on your profit potential. Depending on the complexity of your business model, some cases may require advanced analytical techniques including Statistical Process Control, Lean Six Sigma, Multi-Variant regression, Actuarial Pricing and Reserving amongst others.

In all cases we try to be as parsimonious with the analysis as possible in order to save costs for the client. The actual scoping of the project will be determined on a case by case basis.

If you do not know your own internal strengths and weaknesses, and how they impact your current profitability, you do not know how much money you are leaving on the table and you have no strategy to stop doing so. If you do not know where you are, you cannot chart where you are going.

All consults require the One-Hour Strategy Session as the foundation for the ensuing activities. If you wish to take the recommendations from the Business Analysis Assessment and implement key items in-house but require a structured approach, a cost effective solution would be The Controlled Profit System.
