What we offer
Phase 1 - Accountability Framework
This is the catalyst for the entire program; establishing a foundation for your business with a forward thinking structure will allow you to understand where your business has gaps and if they can be addressed with resources or modified expectations. This tool helps provides a map to isolate issues so you can address them at the core before they snowball into larger issues, simplifies expectations across your team and provides insight on where support is required to keep your business on track.
Phase 2 - Progressive KPI Framework
Next, we marry the accountabilities with cascading KPI’s that are designed to transcend your key financial indicators into measurable operational leading indicators. Large companies across virtually all service offerings are ran off of the same financial documents; organizing and documenting how your business interacts with these indicators enables you to make business decisions with the most important information guiding you while simultaneously empowering your team to take on ownership and growth.
This waterfall of indicators is put into reports that are automated through data feeds and dashboards in Microsoft Power BI, Google Big Query, Tableau or at a minimum, easy to update documents that give teams the most important information (per client basis). Often companies that emerge into the world of data become lost in it, or as we refer to it, data blind. By starting with the end in mind and letting the power of simplicity work, you can have easy to interpret and operation critical metrics for the things that matter most to your business. We can consolidate data from a vast array of sources, consolidate what makes sense to consolidate and put actionable data in the hands of people that need it most across your organization.
For indicators that cannot be measured with Raw Data, we assign strategies for ensuring that non-tangibles are not forgotten; supported by data, these are all pieces of The Simple Edge Puzzle.
Phase 3 - Quality Management System
With your directions set and your operational levers at your disposal, the final step is ensuring that teams have the resources that they will require to unlock true autonomy. This is where the Quality Management System (QMS) comes into place. Traditionally, these are used to enforce the likes of manufacturing standards, but we don’t use them in that way; this is entrepreneurism and we know that enforcing is not the answer for the clients we work for!
Instead, the QMS is a way of keeping your efforts on the prize; your core service offering. By ensuring that your internal efforts/ processes are working as efficiently and effectively as possible. By establishing a framework you empower the qualified individuals with your business processes while making sure that items are escalated when they are appropriate to; this all means you can keep your team organized and ensure that everyone is pulling on the same rope.
The Simple Edge
Whether you are a company of 1 with intentions of scaling, or a company of 200+ that is spinning your tires in sustaining/ growing, let this framework act as a blueprint for your goals. The Simple Edge can help business owners who desire autonomy, teams/individuals that are hungry for growth and organizations in a rut.
