Suiter Business Builders — The Four Building Blocks
All of our strategies fall under one of four basic building blocks, which will be very familiar to you.
Learn to use these in a business context and you can build anything.
Discover
Asking questions is especially important at the beginning of a project. We encourage inquiry every step of the way.
As we begin working together, we will ask you some very basic (but not always easy to answer) questions about the changes you’d like to make in your business.
As you move forward, we’ll suggest you continue to keep an open and curious mind.
Be curious. Ask questions.
Design/Plan
After deciding what you want to build, the next step is creating the blueprint — the plan you’ll follow to achieve your goals.
That plan could be a marketing plan. A profit plan. A plan for employee engagement/improvement. Since all of those plans will be part of a single structure, we’ll make sure you understand how they all fit together. And we’ll help you understand how to estimate the time, materials and effort you’ll need to assign to each part of the project.
Outline steps and plan resources.
Build
Building a great business takes the right people and the best tools. We’ll make sure you’ve got both.
On the people side we’ll get your business up to speed, running on time and on budget — at a profit!— by establishing a culture of accountability. We’ll show you how to outline clear roles, measurable goals, and reliable feedback for everyone in your company.
At the same time, we’ll take care of making sure you and your staff have every business tool you need, to keep things moving smoothly.
Make sure everyone knows what they need to do.
Review/Inspect
You planned, designed, even executed.
What happened?
Did you hit the target? Exceed it? Did your people perform as requested?
Are there holes in your process that need to be patched? Is there a leak in your money flow?
On-going inspection — keeping a close eye on your results and in touch with to your staff — is essential to your business’s health.
We’ll show you the places that need your attention and make sure you understand what you’re looking at. Then, we’ll show you how to give clear, supportive feedback to your staff and team so that others can help carry the weight.
Stay on top of what’s happening.
