Our Outputs

Sherwood BBC, as did Benjamin Franklin believes that “Failing to plan is planning to fail”. Given the speed of market change necessitating a more rapid adaptation of products and services to meet customer and employee expectations, strategic business analysis and business planning is essential to improving Growth.

We lead the process of Business Analysis resulting in an agreed and easy to read Business Plan. Sherwood takes and inclusive approach to analysis and planning. Support with implementation of identified projects, measurement of plans against outcomes and mentoring Managers to develop a strategic approach to Growth is available post analysis.

Sherwood BBC believes that Sales Growth of less than CPI plus 5% for any business trading in current markets indicates the business is at risk of entering life-cycle decline.

Sherwood BBC believes you are in business to make a healthy profit, your people often focus primarily on sales and customer growth as fundamental to success. We understand that an equal amount of energy should be invested in avoiding leakage and waste resulting in optimisation of Net Profit. We know that you have invested significant capital and hard work in your business, often with the sacrifice of time with family and friends, so a robust return on investment is essential to business sustainability and personal satisfaction.

Sherwood BBC works with its Clients to identify sources of waste or leakage by analysing cash-flow, the use of working capital, infrastructure and tools, payroll processes, and income by employee versus costs, to identify a few.

Net Profit is the fundamental measure of success and should be a key motivator for all working in the business.

“Our people are our most valuable asset” remains fundamental to business success. We at Sherwood BBC have twenty five years’ experience with identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the Human Resource Management (HRM) cycle and implementation of simple HRM processes to support recruitment, performance management and retention. We can support and develop your team or we can do it for you, from recruitment through to separation.

An extension of the well-established functions of HRM is Organisational Development. Organisation Development (OD) is the alignment of people and processes to the business objectives. Sherwood BBC are eager to support OD within our client’s businesses as it is a fundamental driver of sales and profitability improvement.

The business’s Organisation Structure is the framework that supports the integration of HRM, OD and Systems and Processes. Sherwood BBC understand that without a clear Organisational Structure communication breaks down, personalities compete to direct organisational goals and objectives, waste and duplication are writhe, putting customers are at risk of receiving inferior quality products and services.

Sherwood BBC has extensive experience in developing Standard Operating Procedures, reviewing and restructuring the Organisational Structure and inspiring the support of the business’s Human Resources and Management. Tangible outputs include SOP development, documentation and training; Quality Assurance accreditation; review of the Business Structures; improvement of internal communication and cooperation resulting in improved productivity and increased profitability. In addition to increasing profit and productivity, improvement of Tender preparation and Contracts management are clear growth-based by-products.
