Want to ’build’ a successful company?



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
focus in the main, and on an ongoing basis,  on the following areas :


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.
