Business Process Review and Re-Engineering When you started your business as an emerging entrepreneur you spent ample time ensuring a high degree of customer service would be provided in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. Your current business environment presents new challenges and opportunities constantly requiring operations to move from merely “cost-efficient” to “competitive advantage”. With ever-changing priorities and multiple immediate or time sensitive tasks to addressed, what is important now may not be the best course of action for the business tomorrow. Unfortunately, most small business owners need to wear many different hats throughout the day week or month. Sometimes owners operating as the CEO are too busy or too close to a problem inside an organization to recognize it. OFG can work with you to analyze your operation best practices, and engage the discipline and leadership to ensure you can identify any change needed and initiate processes within budget, scope, and schedule. Business Process Review and Re-engineering The marketplace is constantly evolving and sometimes an outside view is needed to see if processes are yielding the most effective and efficient means of workflow. OFG can help companies identify where they do their best work and where improvement is needed in order to dramatically improve customer service, cut operational costs, and become world-class competitors. When start-ups occur, whether as a new venture or by bringing on a new client, there is a temporary excess workload and distraction placed on the team. It is imperative to keep everyone focused on providing world-class service to existing customers while also providing guidance and expertise to the start-up. OFG can provide assistance in the planning stages through execution and delivery allowing the existing team members to carry on executing the CEO’s vision without any missteps. Whether an organization is being initially organized or has had a collective bargaining agreement for years, negotiation can be a very time consuming and emotional struggle for the entire company. OFG can represent management in negotiating the most cost-efficient win-win strategies available to both management and labor. Seasonality, increased demand, reduced demand, and temporary availability of workers all impact workforce size. Today’s workforce is increasingly comprised of independent contractors and contingent workers. Knowing when to use which, where to acquire the required talent and when to hire internally are all areas where OFG can help organizations achieve the most cost-efficient combination of workers. The business management of finance can often be at odds with growth and sustainability of operations it can be complementary, depending on a company’s actual results, approached from different perspectives at different points in time. There are a wide range of activities and disciplines revolving around the management of money and other valuable assets of the organization. All must be monitored concurrently and continuously against short, medium and long-term objectives and business plans. Financial measurement and control becomes meaningless if a strategy is not defined and implemented based on objectives consistent with the current state of the company and its upcoming projects. Companies often get involved in focusing on operational needs and leave cash collection and accounting to the back-office folks. The key to successful growth and world-class service delivery comes from applying precious resources adequately and appropriately under ever-changing circumstances. Cash flow forecasting is the key to liquidity and the ability to raise more funds. How often management should forecast cash flow is dependent on the financial security of the business. OFG can assist business owners with ensuring they are achieving maximum cash flow and liquidity to meet challenges and investments going forward without worry. Accurate and timely information is power. Smaller privately held companies may not need the level of sophistication in reporting that their larger publicly-held counterparts do, but relying on stale or partially correct information is heading down a path to ruin. OFG can help a business owner understand how profitable each individual account is, where expense items can be contained and reduced and how to grow efficiently as possible by redirecting resources rather than just expending more. It’s easy to neglect efficient purchasing in your business. You focus on cost, quality and delivery when buying goods and services, but you don’t always “plan” purchases as well as you could. As a result, you may spend more money than you need to. OFG can help companies by reviewing their existing purchases and set up policies and pre-negotiated vendor programs that will keep costs under control. As a result, your prices remain at competitive levels and profitability increases. It’s estimated that 65% of workers compensation claims contain errors and up to 95% of all claims are overpaid or incorrectly settled by the insurance company. Workers compensation claims directly affect all experience rated workers comp policies and your premiums. Insurers offer programs to help business owners but they have a staggering number of clients they offer this to and limited time and resources to help you. OFG can review your programs, and advise you on how to institute best practices to reduce your number of incidents as well as ensure timely and accurate handling of your cases by the case managers.
