We're making a BOLD but true statement today to grab your attention but also offer you an opportunity to improve your business in specific ways that create sustainable success and profitability. The Golding Group can help you do just that. All you have to do is just ask, via this link: https://calendly.com/grow-with-us/fix-my-business There are two ways to create sustainable profitability in any business: Effectiveness and Efficiency. Both should be pursued simultaneously and continually with focus and consistency. How do you apply these techniques to your business? We're giving you an overview of this podcast today. Effectiveness: Get more with the same (or less cost) by doing what you do, just better. Using your budget as well as possible to get the outcomes you're looking for. Efficiency: Doing more with less effort or cost. Reducing waste, increasing speed, reducing sales or production cycles and creating opportunities for new or repeat business (most profitable). This episode will explain more about what these terms mean and how to apply them, but I can't tell you everything on the podcast. That's what professional consultations are for, so I can tailor that information to each business scenario. We will work through specifics when we meet to discuss your business. Click the special link above to schedule your FREE half-hour conversation. Let's work together to make your business a success. It’s essential to assess each business’s unique operations and identify specific pain points or areas of improvement to tailor the strategies accordingly. Regular monitoring, measurement and continuous improvement efforts are essential to ensure sustained effectiveness and efficiency gains.

When you buy coffee from Scars and Stripes, you are buying from a Veteran and your purchase directly impacts the men and women who have served our country.2-time PGA Major Champion John Daly and Combat Wounded Veteran Major Ed Pulido, U.S. Army (Ret.) and Purple Heart recipient joined forces to make a major impact on the world of philanthropy. Both men know how important it is to have a great heart for America’s children, first responders and our nation’s Veterans.“Our goal is to help veterans become entrepreneurs. We feel like veterans are the most suited to become entrepreneurs. Think about their service: they go in scared to death, the military breaks them down and then builds them back up, and then they’re capable of taking on any enemy without a problem. They’re not afraid of anything. You give them the mission and the assets – failure is not an option.”Listen/Stream/Watch/Subscribe at bit.ly/StrategicGrowthPodcast
What is Business Process Management (BPM) and how can it benefit your business? That's the discussion today on the podcast. BPM is an absolute dedication to the continual improvement of everything that makes up your business! To start, The Golding Group Definition: Business Process Management is a strategic approach to aligning company workflow, procedures, communication and human assets to create the most effective, efficient and manageable systems for sustainable business growth and longevity. BPM is a strategic approach to creating effectiveness, efficiency and dependability in the execution of business activity. By focusing on ALL processes necessary for day-to-day operations, you (business leader) can better manage your business outcomes. Businesses are organized by separate but collaborative departments: Production, Distribution/Logistics, Marketing, Sales, Accounting, HR, Management, etc... Processes are the "business rules" (steps, guidelines, actions, operations, procedures, practices, techniques, etc.) for accomplishing necessary tasks. These are actions, tools, skills or communication required to do each job in the business. The what, when, where, why and how of every role in the business structure. Systems are a collection of processes that all work together to produce efficiency. Management is the continual adjustment, improvement, and organization of processes and systems for the best possible outcomes. Business Process Management is highly focused execution to maximize the potential of business strategy, assets and structure through continual improvement. BPM creates the opportunity for constant improvement via communication, measurement and adjustment of internal and external processes. These improvements translate to efficiency in developing, creating, and delivering products and/or services. The potential benefits are lower cost to produce, fasters delivery/turn times, lower overhead, better profit margins, agility, multiple levels of leadership, consistent potential for growth and a positive attitude of innovation. A potential downside is the overthinking of business processes with too much emphasis on finding savings or efficiencies that might not exist. BPM is hardest to incorporate in industries based chiefly on creativity and experimentation but essential to quantify and organize for profitability.
