Business Process Consulting: A Primer

The smart business owner will use business process consulting to maximize business success.

To create fire, everyone knows you need a spark, a fuel source, and oxygen.  If any of these things are not present, you don’t have fire.  In business, you also need three things: a worthwhile venture, a solid plan, and entrepreneurial energy.  If any of these are not present, you don’t have fire!  Business process consulting helps you make fire!

Business process consulting will help determine whether your venture is not only worthwhile, but it will also help you establish a solid plan.

Notwithstanding the benefits of business process consulting, the entrepreneur must also do his or her part.  Your journey is best not attempted if you don’t have the heart to fight it out!  In this article, we will discuss how business process consulting can help catapult you into a successful future.

Business process consulting is the key to identifying whether you have a worthwhile venture.

You can have all the energy and excitement in the world, but if you are pursuing a product or service with limited market potential, you are wasting your time.  If you don’t have market potential, you will quickly run out of entrepreneurial energy (and resources).  Nothing could be worse than investing your time, talent, and treasure – only to later learn that you should have gone “this way” instead of “that way.”

Business process consulting will not only help you vet the viability of a new market or a business solution, but it should also help you establish a solid plan.

You may have entrepreneurial energy and a worthwhile venture, but if you don’t have a solid plan, you run the risk of getting lost in the wilderness.    If you have the resolve to make the changes, make the investment in business process consulting to help sharpen your focus.

Business process consulting is important; however, if you don’t have the energy or initiative to work hard and follow the plan, then you will be limiting your potential.

Let’s say you have identified an excellent market opportunity and have a solid plan.  Now it’s time to strike out and blaze a trail for others to follow.  You lead the way!  You can’t be a reluctant warrior.    If you make the investment in business process consulting, then go “all in” and follow the game plan.  It’s like going to the doctor.  You go to the doctor for relief and you obtain the necessary prescription.  You now have to follow the prescription.  As you know, most of the time in life and in business, the prescription is hard work.  There aren’t silver bullets or quick fixes.  If you obtain business process consulting, put it into practice!

At Blue Elevator™, business process consulting involves starting a new conversation with committed business owners and managers and walking them through a specific course of action.

Let’s face it.  Most of us, if we’re honest, find ourselves doing the same thing day in and day out.  Most of us would love it if next week’s paycheck was bigger.  The reality is we often find ourselves doing the same thing, but expecting better results.  Whether you are just starting a business or you have been in business for decades, most business owners want to know they are on the right path.  Additionally, there are those that want to “get there” in the quickest and most efficient manner.  We’ve all heard the adage, “the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.”  Business process consulting is the key to determining whether you should keep doing what you have been doing, or if you need to change direction.  Sometimes you do need to just keep doing what you have been doing until you experience a break-through.  This is where you can forge ahead with confidence knowing you will eventually find the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.  But how do you know?  In one sense you might be moving imperceptibly towards your goal, and in another sense you could be on the completely wrong path.  Solid business process consulting is the key.
