Description
Are you under pressure from stakeholders to improve returns? Do you want to lead your executive and management teams into a better future? Do you need help in setting up creative meetings that can help your people find places for innovation and improvement?
The Book: "Getting More with Less" is a quick-read that stimulates C-Level executives and managers to take a fresh, creative, ‘deep- dive’ into their organizations from fresh points of view. At the heart of the book is ‘The Profit Pillar’. ‘The Profit Pillar’ shows there are five layers of functionality that apply to every organization. There are specific functions (departments) within each layer. Each function typically requires facilities, equipment, supplies, trained people, instructions, information – and must produce quality, on-time delivery and performance. Each process requires funds and has its own cost structure.
“Getting More with Less” requires that executive teams review each functional layer in an organization and each of its departments. In the review of each department, the team, in a few scheduled meetings, will creatively examine the processes within each department to identify the 20% of process elements that account for 80% of the throughput and impact and cause 80% of the costs. Improving the throughput in the same time while trimming costs will yield a lower cost per unit. Typically, this results in a higher profit margin per unit.
