Deficiency Analysis Improves Business Performance by Identifying Your Business Unit's Inefficiencies
Deficiency Analysis - Secret Detection To See if Weaknesses Exist in a Business Unit
Deficiency analysis is identification of your business's weak points, the “Achilles Heel” within an organisation. In the context of a SWOT Analysis, it is a critical but unbiased identification of the Weaknesses of the organisation, for the sole purpose of isolating controllable variables that are interrupting the flow of growth, profit, sales, morale, goodwill, or any other sought after improvement that the organisation wishes to pursue.
The benefits of Deficiency Analysis are significant! Identification of Deficiencies can save a company from a plethora of tragedies. Some of the benefits include saved market share, saved profit, extra growth, reduced staff turnover, improved staff moral, greater sales, better public image.
What are the costs of Hidden Deficiencies?
The cost of not having Deficiency Analysis is high: The longer you go without it, the higher the opportunity cost to the organisation. The ultimate cost is when a formerly profitable organisation becomes a loss business and is forced to close its doors… far more than the few thousand dollars that a Deficiency Analysis would cost to protect the company.
