The Efficiency Method

FIND. FIX. CONTROL.

GET YOUR BUSINESS WORKING BETTER AND KEEP IT THAT WAY.

You don't need to know which service you need. That's part of my job.

Find the problem. Fix the cause. Put the right controls in place.

Whether you need to identify what's costing you money, fix an operational problem, or bring in experienced support to get things under control, we'll start with where your business is now and your priorities...

01 / FIND

Find what needs fixing first

Start with Your Efficiency Study (YES) to pinpoint where money, time or control is being lost and what will make the biggest difference first.

02 / FIX

Fix what is getting in the way

You may need help with one area or all three. We focus on the operational problems identified and put practical improvements in place where they're needed.    This may include:    - Document Management    - Time & Task Management    - Client & Supplier Management

    03 / CONTROL

    Get the right solution in place

    When your business needs more, I work with you and do the work for you, put the right systems, processes and controls in place, including team training where needed. 

    From wider or on-site operational reviews to health & safety, compliance, risks and liabilities, records and management controls, we address what your business actually needs. 

    No generic templates. No unnecessary software replacement. No report left for you to implement alone. 

    And when you need ongoing senior operational support, I can stay involved to keep improvements moving and your business under control.

      Start with your YES. Then choose the support you need.

      • Your Efficiency Study (YES)

        How we work: We start with a free conversation and get to know each other — I learn about your business, while you get to understand my expertise, experience and how I can help.

        What it is: A free first look at your business and how it operates. We’ll discuss what’s working well, any concerns or frustrations you have, and where a closer look may be worthwhile. Afterwards, you’ll receive a high-level YES Report summarising our conversation, my initial observations and any areas that may be worth exploring.

        Right for you if... You want an experienced, independent view of your business before deciding whether anything needs to change or what support you may need.

      • Core Services

        How we work: I work with you, and do the work for you if you need additional help or don't have the time.

        What it is:

        Focused operational support in the areas most businesses rely on every day. Choose one, two or all three depending on what your business needs.

        • Document Management - Get business information out of inboxes, personal folders and people's heads, and into a clear, controlled system where the right information and records can be found easily and quickly when it is needed.
        • Time & Task Management - Put practical ways of managing workloads, priorities, responsibilities and recurring tasks and procedures in place, so important work gets done without everything depending on reminders, key personnel or the business owner.
        • Client & Supplier Management - Create clear communications, processes and controls for managing clients and sales and delivery paths, handling and controlling suppliers, including records, responsibilities, reviews and follow-up, so nothing important gets missed.

        Right for you if... You know which areas need attention and want practical improvements put in place - not generic templates, new software or another report for you to implement yourself.

      • Monthly Partnership

        How we work: We do it together

        What it is: Ongoing practical support to implement improvements, solve operational problems and keep progress moving.

        Right for you if... You want support making the changes, rather than another report sitting on a shelf.

      • Operational Partnership (FCOO)

        How we work: We do it together

        What it is: Experienced Fractional Chief Operating Officer (FCOO) support to strengthen how your business operates and is managed - without the cost or commitment of a full-time Operations Director.

        Right for you if... You need senior operational expertise in the business, but don't need a full-time Operations Director.
