Where am I at? And what I mean by that is, am I servicing my customers well? What's my quality performance? What's my balance sheet look like? Do I understand my current condition, including how I might measure it? Where do I want to be for the business and assessing that gap? Then from there, you can ask yourself, Okay, now what can I do to close that gap? So, you know, I, at times get brought in by companies, they say, come help us assess the situation. And it really is kind of looking at where are we? What's reality today? And understand that gap from where I want to be. So it's just a strategy right approach to understanding those dynamics to where I want to be. Then the question is, alright, I understand my gap. What's my approach for closing that gap? Do I have the knowledge in, in my company or myself to close that gap? is it pretty straightforward? Do I need help? Do I need to bring someone in to do it, whether it's into the company or from outside? I think it depends on the dynamics of what that specific thing is. So if you're not meeting your customers needs, typically, that's a good starting spot, right? If you can't serve your customers, what do we need to do differently to serve our customers in closing those gaps? That would be my point of view. LinksBrad is proud to support many Australian businesses. You can find him on LinkedIn here.
