The outcome of the baseline, or physical, is a clear understanding of leverage points in the organization and a sequence of future actions to most efficiently improve business performance. A typical baseline takes between 1 and 4 weeks to complete depending on the size and issues in the organization. If you are spending money on major capital expenditures, hiring new resources to increase capacity or to manage high turnover, or if you are implementing programs without a comprehensive physical of your company to understand the leverage points you may want to reconsider. Within a week your team can be trained to conduct a baseline and begin assimilating the information needed to help you build comprehensive solutions. Later this same team can lead the implementation.
Owners focus on results regardless of who's watching.
