‘different thinking & targeted action to increase ROI & Profit’
Value Creation
A business is a value stream designed to achieve return on your daily investment and produce a profit over time.
Value stream management takes a holistic view of value creation
i.e. how ‘the parts’ work, or don’t work, within ‘the whole (total system).
In pinpointing how to add value, Cost Management Specialists also identify waste and how to minimise it, error and how to reduce it and variance and how to better manage it.
Return on Investment and Profit
Profit is exclusively for shareholders. Return on Investment is for all key stakeholders including:
- Owners – greater profit and increased business resale value
- Shareholders – increased share value
- Clients– the perception of ‘value’ because of a positive experience as a customer
- Staff– continuous improvement skills, an outcome focus, and achievement added to the CV
- Suppliers– confidence in ongoing demand, payment, and desire to retain your business
