Business would be blooming, revenue surging and not a single thing to worry about. Unfortunately that’s only rarely the case, reality hits the business and you experience the final piece of the efficiency puzzle: The Efficiency Impact.

The Efficiency Impact, which can be defined as:

- The effective impact of internal and external factors, that directly or indirectly influences the business capability resulting in the achievable result.

"We've developed The Efficiency Cycle to ensure you have a tool to understand your business and more easily dedicate focus where it's needed - when it's needed."

Win big early

Working with the efficiency cycle , you will be able to understand, highlight and focus on the key aspects of your business, thus limiting the efficiency impact and maximizing your achievable result. You will know exactly what piece of the chain is the primary driver of the impact, and you will be able to measure and improve on any single factor.

There is however a set of final considerations you need to consider:

  • Complete insight tends to shift the focus to everything and nothing. Pick out the most important issues - the low-hanging fruit - and take action early.
  • Make sure you have the right tools to monitor the issues and progress. Many manual tasks are involved - you need the power that digitization brings with it.
  • Keep your organization informed, included and empowered. Improving efficiency is as much a personal task as it is a business imperative. Make sure your employees are committed to the challenge ahead.
  • Invest where necessary, but make sure the business case is well calculated and SMART (Specific, Measurable, Acceptable, Realistic and Time-bound).
  • Let your intuition guide you – if in doubt, double check.
