One way of articulating the 4 meta issues discussed earlier is to articulate them within the description of the worst nightmare competitor you can imagine having, which should be:
"We need to have the Right people, doing the Right things, the Right way, for the Right reasons with everyone in the business fully engaged and aware of their contribution, as their Scaleable business grows within its means."
Depending on the circumstances of your business, we will set priorities with you and in the most sensible order deal with the following: (Note in each section we go through specific turnaround tactics that show bottom-line benefit, that emerge within weeks!)
These Turnaround Obstacle all will be dealt with:
Here's a logical approach to getting started and building momentum.Our Turnaround sections consist of the following stages. Discovery, getting an understanding of the key issues, and setting priorities reflected in a plan of attack. Coached execution, in which we tackle each problem in a logical, structured manner as we have planned. We work through examples or case studies of similar cases from which we can learn, we absorb the logic of what needs to be done and what inter-dependencies exist, and then apply this to the task at hand. Each milestone we reach then prompts us to reflect, taking a moment to re-assess, and confirm priorities if they need to change. This is a repetitive cycle that takes a few weeks from start to finish, but ensures that what is being done is what needs to be done and relevant! Key to the turnaround is an initial set of quick wins, which are tangible and visible to the business at large. Creating momentum is key and quick success even if small will galvanize the organization. Every turnaround is different in the detail, and we will make sure that we craft an effective plan with you, please contact us to set up a "power-hour" workshop (it takes longer) which requires no commitment from you.
