...Focus on profits, not learning...
The key to maximizing profits is to identify the most valuable information, knowledge and power in your business. Information and knowledge are investments. You need to maximize the return on those investments. Learn to Profit™ helps you see your business as a portfolio of investments in information, knowledge and power (your IKP portfolio). Profits come from having information, knowledge or power that your competitors don't have. Our projects range from two-day Senior Executive Learn to Profit™ Retreats to larger projects for business strategy development, accelerating growth, improving sales and marketing effectiveness, reducing costs, developing an outsourcing strategy, organizational design, IT strategy development and creating a learning organization. Our
typical projects have four phases. In
Phase 1, we work with your senior team to analyze your current
investments in information, knowledge and power. Phase 1
identifies high return, low cost information, knowledge and
power that can be leveraged, and low return, high cost
investments that are candidates for outsourcing. Phase
2 generates improvement ideas. We identify new opportunities to exploit the
firm’s most valuable IKP assets. We also show how to to create
new profits by acquiring valuable IKP assets more effectively than
your competitors. This creative and collaborative process will
change the way your executives think about their business. Phase
3 develops financial targets and metrics for the Learning Investment Portfolio.
The IKP Strategy is another key output from this Phase. These are
the tools your executives use to ensure improvements show up in
the bottom line. Phase 4 details the organizational and process changes required to deliver the improved return on investment. Typically, organizational changes are needed to speed response to information, and process changes are needed to embed learning. The result: an organization that maximizes profit through learning. |
