Business Consulting Programs |
All of Optimized Results' programs utilize the best practices and lessons of over three decades of Process Consulting and Process Re-engineering. There are two stages in an effective process; triage and sustainability. For businesses not in "trouble," triage is less necessary, but a sustainably successful business cannot be built without building a strong foundation first. The programs listed below follow this order of operations, from quick turnaround to sustainability.
Urgent Care Process Consulting - special rates during COVID19 CRISIS
Specially Designed Triage to Keep Your Business In Business
During this pandemic, the natural reflex actions of retracting, cutting, and so forth are understandable. The secret to weathering this storm is to replace reactive with responsive by making much better, smarter choices that will yield much better results. Read more about it HERE

Urgent Care Process Consulting - special rates during COVID19 CRISIS
Specially Designed Triage to Keep Your Business In Business
Fear and stress play havoc with our ability to think our way out of trouble. They're great for running away from a bear, but not critical thinking. We can't run or fight this pandemic, but we can make it through with our businesses still breathing if we use creativity and innovative thinking.
Layoffs are often the first reaction, as people seem to be the biggest part of expenses, but there are other ways to cut expenses, far less damaging. Our people are also the ones who perform the work and are our interface with our only income source: our customers and clients. This pandemic is a temporary situation, and terminal solutions are much harder to come back from. Layoffs, rehiring, training, etc. is far more expensive than re-purposing the people who are already onboard. And there are other ways to save even more money.
Let's keep your business in business. Schedule a call.
the GPS - Great Profits System ©
The single most powerful and effective way to increase the productivity and efficiency of your organization. Increasing productivity and efficiency, while reducing expenses through cost containment and streamlining processes (how you do what you do) will put you in the driver's seat of your business.
The Great Profit System © empowers you and your decision-making process, helping you make the best decisions for your business.
Here's an example of how the GPS's "shine the light on real metrics" approach instantly exposes common business myths. Although it's but one tiny example of it's power to focus on the most meaningful changes you can implement, it is a very clear illustration:
The Myth: "Layoffs" solve budget problems.
The Reality: Most organizations spend approximately 20% of their budget on payroll. Simple arithmetic shows that layoffs can at most retrieve a fraction of that 20%.

A 50% layoff, which will destroy a company can only retrieve about 10% of the bottom line. This is an absurd non-solution, highlighting a broken decision-making process. There are many, many far more successful, powerful solutions available to you.
Making decisions doesn't have to be a place of stress and anxiety, especially when it comes to our businesses. We look at all of the possible ramifications, and get stuck not wanting to make the wrong decision. This puts many into a position of avoiding change or action, even when current methods are not working.
I developed the Great Profit System © for decision-making after years of helping business owners, entrepreneurs, and managers sort through a plethora of criteria, trying to get to the heart of the decision. We found that there was so much content, that dealing with all of it was confusing. We needed a process to streamline how we looked at it all.
The sheer volume of information about your business can be daunting at the least, and oftentimes overwhelming. When this information is categorized and structured so that it makes sense to you, you can use it to make your business succeed – without undue stress! Of course, if your first discovery is that you don’t have any data, (measurements, results, numbers, etc.) you can get started collecting it with a pre-determined structure.
With the Great Profit System ©, we can sort categories of criteria, and assemble the data so that it illuminates a clear path. When the path is clear, your plan of action is clear as well.
The process is straightforward and quite flexible.
-
You get the GPS © Workbook with all the materials you'll need.
-
Plus up to 8 hours of on-site consulting, teaching you not only how to use the process, workbook, and forms, but taking you step-by-step through the process itself.
-
You'll have one-on-one coaching throughout the process, helping you apply it to your very unique and individual business.
As we've achieved far more with some clients, (a 300% bottom-line increase in one case) we feel confident in guaranteeing 10% to 20% increase in your bottom line, once the findings and processes have been implemented.

Continuous Improvement Consulting
the Process Consulting Model
One of the keystones of a Continuous Improvement Model is the goal of Sustainability. Much of modern business has lost its way due to impatience and short-term vision, which has led to great economic unrest. That impatience and short-term thinking has been lit on fire by the fear around the pandemic, so it's more important than ever, to look both ways before running into the street.
Sustainability requires the stability of the Triple Bottom Line: People, Planet, and Profits. If you think of this as a three-legged stool, you can see how removing one leg (or even shortening it) will eliminate that stool's ability to stand over time. If we don't consider People (the Human Factor) we inevitably create turnover and churn, which can eat enormous amounts of a company's operating costs. (Estimates run to 150% of annual salary.) If we don't consider the Profits, we can't continue to pay the people or stay in business. If we don't consider the Planet, we destroy resources that could have offered sustainable profit, harm the people who work for us, and have nothing to hand down to the next generation.
To accomplish this you want someone with the solid foundational background in everything from business to organizational and social psychology, who can work with you to create new systems for Continuous Improvement.
The Continuous Improvement Model not only aggressively deals with whatever is going on in your business today, but gives you guidelines for how to approach problems down the line that haven't even shown up yet.
Optimized Results uses a diverse interdisciplinary approach to look at every aspect of your business from a "flow" perspective; directing problem-solving to the processes of your business, rather than merely the structure of it.
When Process drives problem-solving, solutions come more quickly, and are more relevant and impactful.
The largest expense containment or cost cutting measure you can take is in streamlining the processes in your business. It is incredibly difficult to stand back far enough to get a truly objective view of these processes when you are in the trenches of your day-to-day operations.
This is where Optimized Results adds enormous value to you as a "partner." We can be that objective "fresh perspective," able to see the "stain in the carpet" that you've gotten used to. We can ask the questions that inspire you to see your own business in a new light, and do a "joint diagnosis," which will be far more in touch and effective.
Re-engineering or re-designing how you do what you do, including how you problem-solve, is the most powerful and effective way to put your business on track for continuous improvement.
Whatever your goals my be, with Optimized Results in your corner, you'll reach them faster and more easily than you ever imagined possible.
