Allister Haymen’s recent article in Building Magazine entitled ‘Core Changes’ is calling for contractors to take urgent action and it prompts me to add that contractors, who are looking to drive business improvement, must also consider initiatives that lead to client centricity and efficiency in the win-work process.
The leadership role must also be about creating and aligning activities into an environment conducive to winning work by:
• Integrating the various disciplines involved in work winning so that they can operate effectively and efficiently as a team
• Introducing robust supporting processes so a consistency of approach is adopted, wasteful activity is eliminated and organisations stop bidding for work they cannot win
• Creating client focus to increase cross selling and the development of client-oriented solutions that often also improve profitability
• Encouraging client-focused behaviours that enable business targets to be achieved
The imperative to transform your business goes beyond systems and processes: it is about you providing the leadership and direction that will enable you to delegate responsibility, but retain control.
If leadership has recognised the need to be more client focused and wish to move forward, then MarketingWorks can help businesses to win more profitable work from new and existing clients.
