Sydney, Australia To find tools that can help your business succeed go to: www.expatpat.com/ tools Many SME's and entrepreneurs are busy running their businesses the best way they can to make them successful. However, many business owners have neither the time nor resources to identify whether they are optimising their use of technology, or whether their business processes conform to best practice. The result of this is missed opportunities to further enhance the value of their businesses, and to reduce their current technology overheads. Effective, and efficient systems allow businesses to deliver consistent results to clients, which is the best way to get them coming back for more, and to acquire additional clients through client referrals. Systematising a business really just comes down to looking at every task performed within your business from the initial customer enquiry right through to the end process of banking the cheque, and breaking each step down into small bite size pieces, allowing you to implement a system so anyone could do the job with minimal training effort. I help to enable the owners and managers of businesses to achieve all the benefits that derive from having effective business processes and technology employed within their business. I deliver to my clients - practical solutions that: • Identify and eliminate wasteful business process. • Significantly increase productivity by systematising standard business processes. • Reduce the overall cost of doing business. • Ensure business sustainability and improvement. • Introduce key measures of productivity. • Engage employees at all levels.
