Knowledge Improves Performance and Profitability

Hi, Helen Here. 

 It is no secret that having business knowledge improves your performance and profitability. But, unfortunately a lot of people don’t understand the concept and how to harness it. 

 Using knowledge in your business doesn’t mean that you have to think up clever new ideas, products or services. It is much more straightforward. Useful and important knowledge can be the experience you gain from your employees, the designs and process of your goods or services, the way you sort your documentation, your plans for future activities and much more. 

 The challenge isn’t gaining and being exposed to this knowledge, it is harnessing it and using it in a productive way. You can gain the knowledge by your customers, your employee’s or suppliers, the market, organisational memory and the list can go on.  

 So, consider the measurable benefits of capturing the knowledge and using it effectively. There are a range of outcomes that could happen. 

 Maybe there will be an improvement in the goods and services you offer or an increased customer satisfaction and staff productivity. Perhaps you might increase the quality of your suppliers, or better recruitment and staffing policies. The opportunities are endless, you just have to be exposed and understand how to make that knowledge central to your business. 

 If you would like assistance in various ways to manage the collection and use of new ideas you have learnt, then contact Helen Cowley to find out more.

Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance

Hi, Helen Here.  “Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance” is known as the magic 5 P’s of success. So, let’s break it down.  Prior: Being able to plan to execute a task before it is needed to be done. Tip 1 : Know yourself, don’t set your expectations to high. If you need to meet a deadline, schedule when you are going to do it when it best suits you. Don’t plan it when you know you won’t be able to execute this.

Hi, Helen Here!  I have read a lot of books on how to build a successful business. I have read an extensive range of “how to” books for a range of different entrepreneurs.

How we think and feel about ourselves has an enormous impact on how we perform in our business. But you must be asking yourself, why is confidence the key to success for my business?
