Something is slowing the business down and nobody can tell you which part.
Business Optimisation Review and Planning
A structured read on where your time and money are actually going, ranked, with a recommendation on what to fix first.
You can feel it in the margin and in how long everything takes, but the moment you try to point at the cause you get five different answers depending on who you ask. That is normal. The people closest to the work see their own piece of it clearly and the whole of it not at all.
I map where work actually moves. Who touches what, how many times the same information gets entered, where things sit waiting for a person, which handoffs fail often enough that someone has built a workaround. Then I rank what I find by what it costs you, and I tell you which one to fix first.
The output is a document you can act on without me. Sometimes the first recommendation is a process change that costs nothing. That is a good outcome, not a lost sale.
Whether this is for you
A good fit if
A business of roughly five to fifty people where the owner is still the person who notices the problems, and where nobody has ever looked at the whole flow end to end.
Not a fit if
Anyone who already knows exactly what they want built. Go straight to a build conversation, and I will tell you if I think the diagnosis is wrong.
What you get
- A written read on where time and money are going, ranked by cost
- A recommended order of work, with the things I would not bother with named as such
- A clear answer on whether you need software at all
What it costs
Scoped after a free first call. Most reviews at this size land under £5,000, and the review is priced separately from anything it recommends, so there is no incentive for me to recommend a big build.
How the work runs
Five phases, each ending with something you can read, disagree with and sign. Nothing starts before the last one closes, and the price is fixed at the end of phase two rather than guessed at the start.
Questions people ask
What if the answer is that I do not need software?
That is a common answer and it is not the end of the conversation. In my experience software is about a fifth of most transformation work. The rest is how work actually moves, who decides what, and where things sit waiting, and I can help with the whole of it. A recommendation that costs nothing to implement is still worth having.
