An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Although a quote from the 18th century, it still stands the test of time. How many failures, breakdowns and problems occur because there was no preventative measure in place to stop them? Its a bit like boxes tumbling out of a cupboard. We keep pushing the boxes back in time after time, but if we stopped and sorted out the cupboard once and for all it would prevent this from happening. We have worked with many clients over the years who have found that by applying this thinking costs are reduced and profit margins increased.
If things don’t change, they’ll stay the same! Ask yourself this: How often do you repeat exactly the same behaviours and processes at work every day yet still get perplexed when the outcome is not what you wanted? To achieve greater success or profitability something must change, but when do you have time to make those changes? In this video we look at how to change your thinking to a more proactive approach. This will enable you to stop just working in the business with all its frustrations and pressures and start to work on the business to reduce waste and be more profitable. We call it the ABCD Prioritisation Grid
If you look after your employees, they will look after your customers! You will know as a customer the difference a helpful, enthusiastic and proactive member of staff can be. They make you feel like they care and that you matter to them. No wonder you keep going back to them, and you’re probably willing to spend that little extra for the service you receive. The opposite will be true if you are treated poorly and made to feel like your custom doesn’t matter. The key to this is called ‘employee engagement’ which we look at in this video. Get this right and it has been proven that you will improve profitability, reduce costs and improve customer loyalty.
If you don’t keep the score, people won’t play the game! Have you noticed that when people are given a clear goal or target how they do their best to achieve it or often beat it? Our naturally competitive nature is triggered when we measure things and consequently performance goes through the roof! In this video we look at the subject of measurement including what and how to measure. Get this right and you will improve cost control and therefore profitability. Output quality will improve as will employee and customer satisfaction.
Have you ever wondered why Geese fly in that ‘V’ formation? It is quite remarkable what you can learn from the natural world about effective teamwork. In this video we look at the extra performance geese achieve, how they support each other and share leadership. If you could implement this level of teamwork in the workplace you would improve quality, increase output and therefore profitability. Employees will also feel more motivated and supported when working in a great team.
People don’t come to work to intentionally screw up! When people don’t perform its easy to think they are the problem. This is seldom true in my experience. Most people want to do a decent day’s work for a decent day’s pay and feel some satisfaction for what they have achieved. They certainly don’t want to feel they have fallen short of expectations. In this video we look at a method to understand where performance issues may stem from, how to analyse and correct them. It’s called the WISE model which has proven to improve individual, team and business performance. Increased profits, reduced costs and improved quality have all been outcomes of applying this technique.
