Processes

Our approach to process allows you to take control of your business in order to achieve goals, deliver excellence and be the best in your field.

As your organisation grows it’s not possible to monitor all activities individually and in detail – that is where process can help. We listen carefully to the views of the business, the history behind the current business plan and structure, the areas which are currently successful, those which need improvement, and business goals and objectives for the future. Then we carry out an in-depth study of the structure and processes and also the requirements and satisfaction of customers and the target audience.

We scrutinise business processes to identify how and where they can be streamlined or improved; if existing tools can be better utilised; and where investment in new systems or equipment can be justified. We also work to involve the relevant teams to ensure understanding, engagement, buy-in and adherence of the process, as well as measuring results and adapting the process as and where necessary.

We can also assist in identifying the right systems that are best suited for your business. Many businesses for example, use multiple software systems with data duplication, often leading to errors, inefficiency and waste. Our findings and recommendations normally offer multiple solutions, ranging from those which can be implemented within a very short time-frame and at nominal cost, to those which may require more strategic planning and significant capital investment. Following on from our findings and recommendations, we can arrange and manage the installation and commissioning of your new systems, both software and operational, using your chosen methodology.

We guide you through your changes and ensure best results with minimum downtime and disruption. Every project involves training at operator level to ensure the business gets the best return on investment.

Ultimately, working with 4P Business Development allows you to make sure that the best methods are being used to deliver to customers needs in the most efficient and effective manner.

“Kath listened to my situation and gave me some surprising suggestions. Although I was well qualified, with an MSc and an MBA, Kath pointed out that my sales and marketing knowledge was practically non-existent. Kath is exactly the kind of Business Mentor I needed – straight talking and not afraid to tell uncomfortable truths. It is precisely this style that produces the brilliant results Kath gets for her clients. In summary, if you want results, not platitudes, go to Kath.”
