Welcome to Firm Beliefs’ Ideas and Techniques Focus

February 2016

Do you still review your business model?

www.firmbeliefs.co.uk

You should!

Ask yourself:

What are we charging our clients/service users for?

What are the benefits with which we are providing them?

Do they match?

Test your processes:

Do they support the success of the model?

Are they flexible enough to alert you if the business model changes in an unplanned way?

Some thoughts for 2016

If you decide to provide an element of what you do for free, you can rarely go back on that… Be clear that it is a model which is sustainable therefore.

Are you losing income?

Can you tell if it is because clients/service users are going elsewhere?

If you cannot tell, why not?

Does your organisation still encourage new ways of thinking? Can you demonstrate that? If your organisation is making a healthy profit, so all are ‘settled with how things are’, how do you drive change?
