Action plan

Measuring whether an internal process is fit for purpose

High effort

Medium impact

Company bottlenecks and inefficiency are often caused by problems with internal processes. Perhaps client reporting is too time consuming or salespeople are failing to convert clients to a new product. At that point, you need to measure the impact a process is having to figure out what action you need to take.

How will I know if my action plan is working?

Product or service margin

The gross margin of the product or service you’re working on

Why this metric?

Processes have a direct impact on the cost of goods sold, including materials used and team time. Identifying and fixing poorly performing processes will increase your margins.

How do I start tracking?

Track the margin on products as changes are implemented.
