Business Diagnosis

This incredible tool set is for business owners, managers and directors who are serious about improving their operations.

Each year there are approximately fifteen thousand business failures in Australia. Over 80% of these are caused through mismanagement.

Even profitable businesses can have hidden inefficiencies with a consequence that many tens of thousands of dollars in 'additional' profit are lost.

To successfully run a business requires the owner/manager to be skilled in all areas of business management. How often do you hear stories about good old 'Fred', the master tradesman who failed in his own business, not from the lack of work, but because he did not appreciate or understand the complexities of operating a successful business?

This DIY tool is about improving your profits and reducing your chances of joining the scrap heap of business failure.

It does so by firstly getting the owner/manager to recognize the problem areas within the business and secondly, to then consider the solutions.

This experience is like appointing a dynamic management consultancy team to review every facet of your business. It will ask you a series of probing questions designed to expose the strengths and weaknesses of your business. It will imply many suggestions to improve your operational efficiency and profitability; but in and of itself, the Business Diagnostic does not provide the answers.

The 'talented management consultancy team' we have referred to has other elements, which together form the comprehensive Business Management System (BMS) available in full from Edensilk.

The 59 page Diagnostic is only the first step, it facilitates just the first assignment of the team.  But when combined with the companion workbook of the Business Checklist and “you”, we have a very powerful team indeed.

But wait, there is more! The Business Diagnostic combined with the Business Checklist is the problem recognizer and “you” will be the person to apply the solution which we will suggest, in a general sense, in the companion manual, the Practical Business Guide.

For completeness ... the Business Management System also includes a comprehensive Business Planning Workbook and a Management Training Manual.  Full details are available from Edensilk.

So let’s look a little more closely at each of the elements of the BMS programme series of which the Diagnostic is only a part.

What will you gain?

The obvious answer is improved profits and that will certainly happen even if you benefit from only one of the many thousands of helpful hints to be found in the Business Checklist or the accompanying Practical Business Guide, Business Planning Workbook and the Management Training Manual.

However, business is also about self achievement and security and your 'high powered management consultants' will also examine these very important aspects.

What are the objectives of the Business Checklist?

• To allow you to examine your own personal strengths and weaknesses.
• To allow you to formulate your own personal objectives in the short/medium/long term.
• To allow you to review the strengths and weaknesses of your business and formulate procedures to rectify the weaknesses uncovered, or alternatively to exploit the strengths.
• To allow you to formulate your business objectives in the short/medium/long term.
• To prepare you for the very important task of planning the future of your business.

For ease of reference throughout this series of workbooks we refer to your “business” and call you the “owner/manager”. This may not necessarily fit with your circumstances (eg you may be in control of a division of a large Company, a Club or an Association) but you can just as easily substitute the terminology with which you feel comfortable.  Good business management is essentially the same whatever the size of the operation.

Back to the Diagnostic

“Where am I now?” is the question being asked. The Business Diagnostic is the fast track to assess the current status of your business, warts and all.  It's just the first step; but it helps you decide if you need or want to take any other steps eg before committing large sums of money to any 'programmes'.

The 59 page Business Diagnostic asks a number of intriguing questions which will allow you to identify exactly where you are at … even though there’s a chance you may not like the location!

As an analysis tool it is second to none and has been developed over twenty years by combining the best investigative questions which consultants ask in order to really get the “low-down” on the current status of a business.

As an aside ... large consultancy firms would charge $3,000 and upwards simply to administer the questioning that is provided by this powerful tool.

Our suggestion is that you commence by undertaking the Diagnostic and then use the Business Checklist (which is additional) to really “drill down” on the individual issues, and see where all of this leads you.
