Follow on Google News | How to get fit for the future: Oliver Wight launches new guideAs the mining boom tails off and an air of uncertainty forms over the future of the Australian economy, organisations need to make sure they are ‘fit for the future’, is the message from business improvement specialists, Oliver Wight.
By: RONIN Marketing “Australian businesses were lucky enough to avoid the brunt of the global financial crisis, but faced with the current uncertainty and cost-cutting culture, following the cooling of the Chinese economy, there are important lessons to learn from what happened to the US and European economies,” says Mike Reed, Managing Partner of Oliver Wight Asia Pacific. “The global recession struck with such speed, many organisations went in to survival mode, pulling the plug on the supply chain and simply firefighting to get by. Drained of inventory, businesses then struggled to meet demand as it returned. The lesson learned was to dramatically improve their processes to avoid the same ever happening again. Future success ultimately boils down to the health of your business and its core processes. Now is the time for Australian businesses to pinpoint failure modes so they can close any gaps, before its too late.” The Oliver Wight Health Check combines the industry-renowned Class A checklist, a business maturity assessment, comprehensive diagnostic and Oliver Wight’s performance benchmarking tool to highlight weaknesses within the core business and supply chain processes, producing a comprehensive action-oriented report. “The report not only details the business’ current position and highlighted gaps, but the potential opportunities and gap closing activities,” Developed following high level of demand for this type of service, Reed believes organisations are increasingly realising the importance of preparing for the future. “The time and cost of conducting a Business Health Check is not substantial but the price of not knowing where you stand, and then failing to service customer demand effectively, is potentially fatal,” he concludes.
