Make 2017 the Year You Build Your Business’s Capacity

Are you struggling to define the exact path your business will take in the coming year? You know where you would ultimately like your business to end up, but perhaps you?re struggling with placing the building blocks in the right places in the right sequence. You’re not alone. This is one of the biggest challenges business owners and leaders face as their businesses mature. The secret to creating this path lies in process-based capacity building.

Process-based capacity building has at its core the 5Ps of business: Purpose, Process, People, Product, and Profit. The functional alignment of these five core areas synergizes maximum business success. Most companies eventually face a predictable crisis of stagnation marked by drops in revenue and profit growth. Rarely is this because your business model has suddenly become outdated or markets have unexpectedly dipped. Rather, it is the result of small breakdowns in one or more functional areas or over stretching of key resources. Misalignments are occurring if you are hearing the "un"s, re’s, mis’s and dis’s? that impede growth ? unreliable, unproductive, repetitive, reactive, misaligned, miscommunicated, disorganized, dissatisfied, to name a few. While you understand at some level that you must focus on fixing the problems behind these descriptors to stabilize and grow, emphasis on doing so is often lost in the business of day to day business.
