BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS

Results Business Management will document your business model architecture to assess the compatibility of your strategic goals with your current business capabilities.

Results Business Management will work with you as a business facilitator to develop a strategic plan, if you don’t already have one, construct activity maps and business models and then apply heat mapping to identify areas within your business that are influencing your strategy implementation. Most business’ downfall is that they try to implement a strategy that the business is not capable of doing eg., implementing an on-line sales strategy without having IT resources either in-house or out-sourced. Understanding your capabilities through Activity Based Management and seeing how they match to your strategy is a must to have a pathway to business and profit improvement. For start-ups this is an essential part of the business accelerator process.

INVESTMENT DECISION SUPPORT

Results Business Management will construct an economic model based on well established capital budgeting and cost benefit analysis techniques to assess what will be the likely outcome of your planned investment under different scenarios.

Every business works hard to accumulate or raise cash. Every dollar invested should be working to increase the wealth of the business. Using a net present value and economic value add approach Results Business Management can determine whether the investment or capital acquisition adds value to the business and increases business owner wealth. Having this knowledge is integral to the capital investment decision making process. Economic modelling enables you to see the change in value of the business as a result of the investment and how various methods of funding eg., debt vs equity or a combination of both impacts your ROI ie., return on your investment.
