Structuring a business isn’t easy - the result needs to reflect so many things.

How you do business, who does what in the business, who reports to who, who interacts with who, and how they do it are all things that must be considered.

Business structures need to be dynamic these days. They need to be able to cope with change, absorb different requirements, and sometimes change with the market place you operate in.

To effectively structure your business, you need to give people defined roles and you need to give them processes to work to. These processes need to be streamlined, efficient and most of all designed to get the job done.

318 approach this by understanding what drives your business, balancing the key issues to improve overall performance, and measuring the right things in the right way to keep you on top of your game. And once we are measuring the right things we can help you communicate the right things to the right audience.

But what about how you work? Every business works to processes – generate leads, take an order, deliver the product, invoice the client, that sort of thing. Often these just evolve from daily routines, and haven’t been designed with a thought for what forms the start point or end point of the processes. To be efficient you must understand the process you are using.

At 318, we help you to map how your business actually works. Then we sit with you to work out how it could work better. Once we’re agreed on how to do it, we help you to change your business – we roll up our sleeves and embed those new processes so you are more efficient, so that you get things delivered on time, and so that you make more money. So that you have a real, well defined structure.
