Key Aspects To Achieve Business Success
In most cases business success will not occur unless the Small Medium Enterprise operator has undertaken some detailed planning and introduced systems which have enabled:-
- Financial analysis on a regular basis so that the business performance can be compared against budgets and benchmarked against industry standards.
- Preparation of performance indicators and reviewing KPIs against preset targets and other organizations against which the business is being benchmarked.
- Analysis of resources so as to enable the assessment of the capabilities of the business and determination of the improvement required.
- Marketplace review so as to ensure that the business has recognised the opportunity and is also aware of threats in the marketplace.
- Development priorities – this is where you list what you are going to achieve over the next 3, 6 or 12 months as part of a business plan.
- Business plans for businesses are like “maps for tourists”. One of the key ways of developing a business plan is by conducting isolation planning meetings every 6 months.
This will include an analysis of:
- What action is required?
- Who is going to do it?
- What is the targeted completion date?
These strategies should be written down and reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that implementation has been achieved.
