Understanding Our Business
When people know what the game is, they play better
There has never been a more important time to fully engage your people. They will do well if the company does well. They are interested in making this happen and need to know how their role fits into the business model in order for them to contribute their best to the success of the company.
The financial statements are an important source of information about what your company is about. But before you go to the numbers, you want to know the value proposition of the company, that goods and services the company sells that customers are willing to pay for.
It is also important to know the key metrics and techniques in deciphering the financial statements so that you can identify the key value drivers of the company.
Ask yourself how many people at your organisation truly understand all this?
