A Thinking Framework for all Enterprises
All BUSINESS will involve PEOPLE, PRODUCTS and at some point in its journey, it will encounter PROJECTS whether they are managed as such or not. Actually isolating these 4 key elements, that are present in any enterprise, provides the scope to not only define what they mean, but then to also apply them within a framework that provides a benchmark standard to aspire to.
For example, when it comes to PEOPLE who doesn’t want to capture the hearts and minds of the customers, suppliers and staff you interact with. If you can achieve that, you can also develop brand loyalty and provide great service. Captivating staff through emotionally intelligent communication and clever relationship management provides the stability and discipline to pave pathways for them to reach their full potential within the business. If they are achieving for themselves within the business, then your business is achieving too.
When a client first approaches us to talk about their business, it can be in the form of a recount of the initial vision and ideas followed by the barriers they’ve encountered along the way. There’s almost always the battle lines between time and productivity, closely related to the diverse range of hats every SME owner wears when balancing cost verses the developmental need of their business.
It can be really challenging for someone so involved and busy in the operational activities to understand what the priorities are for the businesses to stabilise and thrive. We choose to take an umbrella view and then attach a priority through the Enterprise Elements framework. In contrast to a Business Framework that is “…a process and … base [for] operating strategies”, our Enterprise Elements are a thinking framework. A way to quiet the noise of competing priorities and conflicting demands to help us to see what is the best and fastest way to reach a result, based on your business as a whole.
There are a myriad of Business Frameworks but a thinking framework captures the issues and leads to a benchmark so you can then apply other tools and methodologies to map your actions to get there.
