Who do you have, and who do you need, to get there? Get the right people in the right seats, with the right priorities.
How do you get to your destination efficiently and safely?
You’ve mapped out the journey, but you need your vehicle to be tuned and gassed up with the right fuel to get you there. You want to be ready for the potholes and the diversions, and to be able to avoid unexpected dangerous conditions.
Do you have the right metrics on your dashboard to be able to measure your progress, to anticipate and adjust? Key performance indicators and result areas? Accurate indicators of fixed costs and costs of goods and services?
