Business diagnostic


Is your company capable of adapting to turbulent times? Do you know where you should focus to increase growth? Do you have an accurate picture of your financial resources and profitability? Of your strengths and weaknesses?

 What is a business diagnostic?
A business diagnostic is an impartial and practical analysis of your business. It is a way of getting insight into your business operations, and of determining where you should set your priorities, and what areas need immediate attention.

A business diagnostic is recommended for companies in highly competitive industries or those experiencing significant pressure because of an uncertain business climate, increased costs, diminishing markets, or internal challenges.

 How can a BDC diagnostic help your business?
BDC provides helpful observations, comments, and a suggested action plan to cover both immediate changes and short-term priorities. BDC's business diagnostic includes:

  • A review of the 7 essential business elements:
    1. leadership behaviour and business processes
    2. financial resources
    3. expenses, cost control, and profitability
    4. administration and personnel
    5. customers, revenues and sales
    6. products and services
    7. supply chain
