“The most dangerous phrase in the English language is ‘that’s what we’ve always done’”
– Rear Admiral “Amazing” Grace Hopper, USNR (Ret.)
“They say there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Our job is to find the way that’s best, fastest, cheapest, and most efficient and to do it before the other guy even knows it can be done.”
– J.G. Collins, Managing Director The Stuyvesant Square Consultancy
Most business owners look at revenue and hope to increase it, quarter-on-quarter, year-on-year. In the best case scenario, that happens. But what if it doesn’t? Or, worse, what if revenues actually decline?
That’s where our business process improvements process comes in.
We can evaluate your business and define processes, practices, and costs that are mission-critical, helpful, superfluous, or redundant. Then, we’ll help you take the steps you need to find the best way to fulfill those that are mission critical or helpful, and how to eliminate those that are superfluous or redundant.
Are you maintaining an optimal level of inventory or can you use “just-in-time” inventory management? Can you go “asset light” and sell off non-productive or inefficient assets and eliminate or replace them at lower cost? Is your staffing optimal, and are they located in space that is cost-efficient? Can staff go to remote work? Or can mission- critical functions be out-sourced at less cost and still maintain the same high level of quality?
Are your banking and financial relationships optimized for lowest cost? Have you optimized the tax aspects of your debt and ensured that certain types of income are optimized to ensure they incur the least tax? What are your lease arrangements?
Are you exposed to unanticipated risk that could shutter your business if left unaddressed? What are your “unknown unknowns?”
We can work with your management, your accountants, your bankers, and your legal advisers to help you get the most for the least out of your business and ensure profitability.
