Real Consultancy Expertise

Our top Business Growth consultant is a leading UK expert on profit improvement for SME’s. He has delivered tangible results for businesses all over the UK and his approach includes the critical elements that most firms of accountants simply don’t have the expertise to cover:

• Lean Operating
• KPIs
• Behavioral aspects of organisations
• Systems design and implementation for the extraction of real-time performance information.

Real Time Performance Information

Why is real time performance information so important? Perhaps an example will help:

Imagine that one of your KPIs is “number of sales calls made” and imagine you have set a target of 300 calls per month. At the end of your first month you count up the number of sales calls and only 120 have been made. The month has gone and you can do nothing to increase the number of sales calls made. Further, you cannot identify where in the month the shortfall occurred or why.

For KPIs to be effective they need to be what we call “Short Interval Controls.” If in the example above the number of sales calls had been measured every day, it would have been possible to take remedial action before the end of the month and to spot when the problem occurred and why.

So it is clear, that the measurement of KPI’s needs to be automated (man hours should not be wasted in collecting the data) and “real-time”.

Antony J. Holdsworth & Co is uniquely able to provide your business not only with lean operating and KPI consultancy but also with the necessary systems and software for your company to obtain automatic real time KPI data. This can range from the installation of a horizontally integrated accountancy, CRM, and KPI system (such as Mamut) to the development of proprietary systems to integrate with the systems you already have. Whatever your IT infrastructure, we can provide the systems and software you need.

Lean Operating, KPIs, and Organisational Behaviour

Key Performance Indicators are now a feature of many organizations - but they don’t always achieve the improve­ments they were designed to deliver.

As we would say, improving profits (whether by reducing costs or increasing revenues) is all about measuring the right things, in the right way, and taking the right action.

Some common reasons for KPIs to fall short of expectations are that  [1] the wrong things are being measured [2] the indicators being measured are measured in the wrong way [3] the measurements are taken too late [4] there is no process for reviewing the measurements and taking remedial action.

We can help your organization to identify the best indicators to measure and help you create a culture of improvement that your employees support:

• We can help you decide which low-level and high-level KPIs to measure, especially KPIs that show results and root causes, and that help managers to improve results.
• We can help you and show you how to run quick and efficient management meetings where KPI data is reviewed and accepted as accurate, and where targets are set which are always achievable.
• We can help you ensure your managers spend only 15 minutes each day looking at automatically-generated KPI information that tells them everything they need to know (see Real-Time Performance Information below).
• We can help you use KPIs to motivate people to be part of a winning team, and to reward them when they have achieved the right results.
