Are You Measuring or Managing?

We have a number of values here at Avenue Scotland, but the one that underpins them all is very simple:

If we are not measuring, we are not managing.

Statistics may not be everyone’s bag, and we are not saying that you need to be a mathematician to run your business, but we have been involved in enough businesses to see that the most successful companies ruthlessly measure every aspect of their performance.

By measuring every aspect of your process, you can not only begin to put a picture together step of what is affecting your performance and profitability, you can also provide your team with a clear focus of what needs to be achieved.

Measurement provides you only with the basic information. You need to report back to those people who can influence the performance, and you must take actions based on the information you receive.

Measurement for the sake of it will only add another costly process to your business. Our research shows us that on average we derive just over 50% productivity from our overhead. Think about that for second. How powerful is this?

Start looking at the key factors impacting on your performance, and start measuring them on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. You will be amazed at what you find.

The good news is that we can help you. If you sign up to our expert partnership programme, we can facilitate and drive the necessary improvements you need to transform your performance.
