What is the BIR? This Rapid Business Improvement process uses an organisational needs analysis tool (BIR), designed to quickly capture the current performance of the business and help you identify high impact business improvements. • Capture a snapshot of the business • Contrast the perception of stakeholders • Identify priorities • Determine improvement action
Why the Business Improvement Review? Unlike other questionnaire tools the BIR uses a unique delivery combination of :- • Expert facilitation – or 100% on-line • Adaptable process to suit the business culture • Multiple level involvement from within the business & outside if required • Holistic view • Combines both ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ data • Provides a baseline for improvement action
OutcomesThis process provides you with... • Facts that determine an agenda • Data based upon the perceptions of the Board, management team and staff • Differences in perceptions across groups & between managers • A comparison of current versus desired state • A modular approach to meet immediate and medium term objectives • Outputs that have face validity with all users
Can perceptions give real data? • Data from one person – no • Taking multiple views.... Yes • Ownership of the “perception” is key to any change resulting • Its about facilitation – not advising! (at this stage)
Feedback • The feedback process drives discussion on the business performance, identifying areas for improvement: • Data charts • Key ratios • Intelligent mirror • Emerging issues • Key concerns
Additional data • In addition to the “survey” data, we have the ability to capture and process finance data (3 years) and produce generic ratios etc. • As part of the accreditation training and manual we also guide users to collecting marketing and other data which can be used to prove/ disprove a managements perception on what is going on
Applications • Determining improvement action • Gauging alignment of stakeholders • Developing high involvement culture • Building strategy • Assessing capability and development priorities • Understanding vulnerabilities
Benefits • Rapid & to the point • Pragmatic • Ownership of the action plan by the stakeholders • Strong Face validity for participants • Holistic feedback • Adaptable to meet the changing needs of clients & consultants
