The Right way to Solve Problems - PDF Article in the Jan/Feb Issue of The Crucible
Every business has problems, and the best businesses are constantly in a problem-solving mode.  But there are right and wrong ways to solve problems.  Let me tell you about one technique I've learned that will help you solve the types of business management problems you encounter every day.

Statistics show that nearly seven out of ten small businesses are under performing and may be in financial trouble. Their owners are constantly fighting fires, working longer hours, facing tougher competition, are witnessing smaller margins, tighter cash flow and stagnant sales. As a result, many of these businesses may not be able to stand the test of time.

There are four key reasons that most small businesses struggle and never really harness their full potential:
1. Employees aren’t empowered to find problems.
2. The company isn’t using a structured team problem-solving approach.
3. Employees aren’t utilizing continuous process improvement.
4. Employees don’t have the same passion, vision, and goals as the owners.

Most small business owners focus the majority of their efforts on trying to increase sales because they believe increasing sales will solve their problems. In fact, much of our nation’s business instruction has been focused mainly on increasing sales.

Sales are clearly the lifeblood of any business, but people are its most important asset, and its operations represent 70-80% of the business’s costs. Focusing on improving its people and processes can directly improve quality, growth, and profits.

To help foundries learn what they can do right now to strengthen their businesses, NFFS is teaming with an organization called the Cycle of Success Institute to hold a special three hour workshop on Wednesday, June 16 for members in the Chicago area.

The program will:
•    Demonstrate why some businesses will thrive in tough economic times while others fail.
•     Identify significant ‘profit leaks’ in your company and discover sales and profit opportunities – often exceeding hundreds of thousands dollars.
•     Map out a business model to drive up efficiency and productivity
•     Empower your employees to solve and implement solutions for rapid profitability.
•     Help you instill and manage these improvements on an ongoing basis.
•     Present a case study that shows how one small Chicago company turned their business around - from potential bankruptcy to record profits within 1 year.

If you’re the President or Owner of a company with 10+ employees, you should follow up on this special offer.

Join us at the Renaissance Offices on Wednesday, June 16th, beginning with a continental breakfast at 8:30 AM and concluding by 12:00 PM.

The cost for the workshop is $99 per member company, but each foundry can send up to four participants for a single enrollment fee. Companies attending the workshop will receive: 3 follow-up Problem Identification Team coaching sessions from COSI at no additional charge.

Guarantee:
If you don’t discover a new profit opportunity at least $25,000
at the workshop – we will refund the cost of the workshop!
