Podiatry Hive Business Audit – Now Avaliable

How often do you perform a Business Audit… Have you ever?

Monitoring your business is an effective way to increase productivity and profitability.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a sole trader or have a team of 12, everyone needs to be using their time and skills efficiently to maximise impact. An audit keeps you tapped into the heartbeat of your business and is a diagnostic process.

Regularly reviewing your business is the best way to keep everything on track. It lets you identify what’s working, what’s not and should be designed to provide you with a detailed report on opportunities of growth and areas that require attention.

  1. Core business activities
  2. Business efficiencies
  3. Market analysis
  4. Financial position

The Podiatry Hive Business Audit provides just that.

How Does It Work?

Reviewing the 5 Pillars of Business, Troy Parsons (Co-Founder and Director of the Podiatry Hive) will spend 2 days in your practice, performing the review in-house.

At the end of the 2 days you receive a detailed report outlining your business strengths, areas requiring attention, and identifying opportunities for business growth and success.

A clear business strategy to set the direction, answer your concerns and show practical ways forward.

Your Business Review will encompass;

  • An assessment of your core activities
  • An assessment of your business efficiencies
  • A customer and market analysis
  • A staff 360 degree survey
  • A review of your financial position
  • A detailed report on findings with a clear work plan allowing for implementation and continuous improvement.

When you step outside and look back in, is often when you will have the biggest breakthroughs.

It’s the same for your business. We each, are guilty of spending too much time working IN rather than ON the business.

Prioritise your business position and success, identify what needs attention and the opportunities you can make the most of.

To book your Podiatry Business Audit email assist@hivepractice.com for more information and costs.

NB: Podiatry Business Audits are only available in Australia until further notice. 

Coming Up In May

Wednesday 17 May, 2017. Monthly Training Webinar.
7:00pm AEST | 9:00pm NZ | 10:00am UTC (United Kingdom).

Documenting Your Systems

Great systems without documentation, become Chinese whispers. They become little more than an assumption about HOW things need to be done.

Without documentation, your tasks, functions, processes and procedures – the way you and your staff does everything, are nothing more than good intentions.

In other words, you need to write it down!

Join Troy Parsons and Jon Heath in May to discuss the top 5 tips for documenting your podiatry practice systems;

– Identify your key systems – create a systems diagram
– Prioritise your systems list
– Choose your practice systems ‘portal’ i.e. Google Sites
– Assign accountabilities for documentation
– Develop a standard approach for creating systems
