Business Optimising Package Assists Clients to Focus on Future While economic conditions here are not as dire as they are in other parts of the world, it is still a difficult environment for business operators. The high Australian dollar makes our exports less competitive on the world markets and the national slump in productivity over the past decade will take a national approach to solve. In the midst of all this, people are still running successful businesses, but they all agree that if they could get the right type of assistance from outside their business, they would give it a serious look. Often there are quite simple things that can be implemented in a business that will add to the bottom line with very little cost or effort. Removing inefficiencies in operating procedures and controlling costs through better reporting are methods that don’t involve a large capital outlay. The Business Optimiser service offered by Charter Partners is a structured programme that will help operators focus their business efforts to increase profit and find opportunities for growth. What is in the Business Optimiser Package? The Business Optimiser Services Package has four distinct components, each with a specific purpose that will add value and direction to the client’s business. The process starts with a business health check to review every aspect of the business, identify any weaknesses, focus its potential and set some measurable goals to optimise its potential. The results are presented to the client in a detailed report and score card, with guidelines on how to improve productivity. The second stage is a dedicated strategic planning day where the business operators are assisted to develop a future vision. To support that vision they also develop a strategy and plans to move the business forward. The client will receive these plans along with practical steps to maximise opportunities, minimise risks and keep themselves on track. Staying focused is often the most difficult part, as day-to-day operational challenges get in the way and divert attention from the long-term plan. Financial forecasting is the next step. Some clients who already have an Accountant Brisbane assisting with financial reporting may think this unnecessary. However, having the financial reports reviewed by another set of eyes is a valuable exercise. The client will receive up-to-date forecasting tools that let them manage for today and plan for tomorrow. Financial targets are set for the year and the client is shown how to measure and monitor progress. Independent Mentor Holds Business Operators to their Goals The final part of the Charter Partners package is a business mentoring programme that gives the business operator an opportunity for discussion and feedback from an impartial and independent person. Through regular meetings with an experienced mentor, the client will gain a different perspective on their business which can sometimes be obscured through familiarity. The role of the mentor in this programme is to challenge thinking, hold the client accountable for actions they have agreed to and act as a sounding board.
The Business Optimiser Service will benefit any business, but particularly those that have not been subjected to this degree of external scrutiny for many years, if at all. Strategic thinking and planning requires a different approach than that of managing daily operational issues.
