How to Improve Efficiency and Productivity

We all want improved profitability and two of the best methods of achieving this from your existing customer base are:

  1. Good business processes that follow the critical path
  2. A healthy and happy workforce

Good Up-To- Date Business Processes that follow the Critical path:

  • Reduce duplication – do things only once.
  • Reduce complexity – make it easier to do things.
  • Reduce or eliminate rework – in some businesses a little rework can be a good thing.
  • Make it both easier for you to do business with your customers and suppliers and for them to do business with you.
  • Improve both efficiency and productivity thereby increasing profitability.

A Healthy and Happy Workforce including Owners and Managers generally leads to both increased efficiency, productivity and profitability.  But how do we know if our workforce is healthy and happy?  Answer: by conducting Health Checks at least once per year.

From using our Rapid Profit Radar Diagnostic, we found that many businesses do not have good up-to-date business processes in place; in fact, some have no business processes at all.  Additionally, while they hopefully understand the importance of health and wellbeing in the workforce, they are failing to offer annual Health Checks to their workforce.

If, like many businesses, you don’t know how to:

  • Improve or write and implement good Business Processes, we at Into The Blue NZ Limited are experts in Critical Path Business Processes.
  • Implement Health Checks into your business, we at Into The Blue NZ Limited have an extensive network which includes Health Check experts.

So, give us a call to discuss how we can help you with your business.

And we’re not afraid to put our money where our mouth is because, if you engage us, Into the Blue offers most mature businesses a Zero-Risk policy… No Improvement – No Fees.
