Then follow what the ‘leaders of
industry’ are doing!
All major companies which have:
- a sound financial system in place,
- a market for their product(s), and have
- a robust strategic plan
NB.
These areas
are interrelated, and interdependent.
Why these areas?
Clients
What successful managers realise all too
well is that ‘management only handles the monies that clients bring in’. It is, therefore, imperative for them to remain
in touch with any shift in client needs and requirements, and to respond timeously:
·
with products
of the highest quality, that meet the changing needs of customers,
·
In the
shortest possible time, and at the
·
lowest
price possible.
Culture
The managements
of highly successful companies focus on building cultures (a way of doing) amongst
all their employees that strive towards the fulfilment of the
abovementioned requirements on an ongoing basis. Successful behaviours are
reinforced and rewarded regularly.
Busines
processes ( i.e. all the steps involved from placement of order, through
production / service provision, to
product delivery
Managements realise that all their business processes need to
be devoid of all forms of waste, and non value-added activities; they know that
clients are not prepared to pay for non value-added activities. They, therefore,
ensure, on a continuous basis, that all their business processes function
optimally.
