Undertaking a rigourous healthcheck is critical if we wish our organisations to be profitable, to flourish, expand, grow and return optimum shareholder value. As individuals we take all steps necessary to maintain positive health and take immediate action if we experience illness. Organisations do not always have the same self-regulating mechanism that helps them seek expert advice. When we individually experience ill-health we probably automatically seek medical assistance - this analogy does not apply to the typical organisation.
Symptoms of Failure can be reversed if caught in time
You have probably experienced this in an organisation where you have been a manager or staff member. Everyone knows the organisation is not performing to its expected performance levels - its just that no one knows how to take remedial action. It also does not help that everyone experiences the same malady or dysfunctional way of working. Those who are customer facing and report daily to the customer may know that things are not working but it takes some time for this message to permeate the management culture and eventually catch the attention of the top team. Undoubedtly, when they experience the symptoms of 'ill-health' they may then choose to take action - long after the original problems arose. Our philosophy is: we can identify and catch the problem in time and specific focused action can be taken to correct the problem and prevent it arising again.
Because of the time gap between the problem originating and action being taken, the organisation may have experienced severe problems, resulting in loss of customer retention and loyalty, missed marketing and business opportunities, a severe decline in morale, unnecessary 'churn' of staff from critical areas all resulting in lack of competitiveness and a decline in profitability and reputation.
