Improve your Business efficiency
In our last issue, we discussed how to get the right structure in your business. Click here to view the previous article.

In this issue, we discuss the second stage of business development - eliminating "the Waste". Waste is present in all businesses and it refers to the inbuilt inefficiencies that develop over time as our business grows.

At MindShop, we know from experience that this waste will be equivalent to at least 15% to 30% of your costs and even higher in most service industries. This means that if your costs are $1.0 million per annum that between $150K and $300K will be waste that can usually be reduced dramatically by applying our simple process.
