The process in itself is fairly simple. Utilizing this tried and tested tool with its range of carefully designed questions allows you to benchmark your business against market leaders in your industry.

These three sections are intrinsically linked for any business

as the following model shows us:

Internal Service Quality

External Service Quality

Internal service is everything that the employee sees.

In order to have well developed external service quality, a business must usually have well developed internal service quality.

External service is everything that the customer sees.

it must have well developed external service quality.

in order for a business to deliver a consistently healthy financial performance

This model demonstrates that:

Essentially, the internal and external service areas are all inputs or ‘causes’ of a result.

The financial performance is the output or the effect driven by the quality of the inputs.

Both external and internal service quality sections include areas such as people suitability, the efficiency and effectiveness of processes & tools, and the quality of direction and the general environment.

Your report will give you some directional guidance as to how ‘healthy’ each of these sections is, based on hard data as well as the opinions that you have provided.

The report essentially gives you two key pieces of information for all of the above.

It will calculate certain key measures based on the numerical information.

The report will also provide a relative measure of most parameters so as to be compared or ‘benchmarked’ against a typical business average

Reading that is within the red zone, is highlighting a real or a potential issue that MAY need further investigation and ultimately attention.

A reading in the amber zone is indicating that this parameter may just need watching and improving.

A reading in the green zone shows a probable sign of good health for that particular parameter or section.

The imagery used is a dial icon like this which shows a needle with red, amber & green scale background

Once the business health

check has been

completed

it will identify the key areas of improvement

needed

prioritize these areas into

measurable projects

with clearly defined and

desired outcomes

Often it becomes difficult for business owners to realize that they need to adapt their business and accept that the methods they have always used, no longer work.

This business health check takes a snapshot of a business and allows the owner to stand back and take a look at the full picture.

Businesses and the business environment are constantly changing and your business needs to stay up to date.

The business health check is designed to speed up existing processes, but should not be regarded as a quick fix.

Instead, it is a strong indicator of the processes that needs to be taken as often as possible.

Business owners need to constantly measure and adapt their business processes

a detailed health check is the perfect tool to analyze a business
