Banyan's customers desire highly customized programs that target areas where measurable profit impact can be achieved quickly.  Areas of emphasis include:

Strategic Planning
What are your goals for the company this year?  What performance targets have you set for results in the key areas of your business?  Are your goals written?  If we asked your key department managers what their goals are would they be aligned with yours?

Establishing clear, measurable goals is the first step to any improvement process.  Banyan ensures that the goals and objectives your company sets drive profitable results. We work closely with front line managers to establish a sustainable culture of planning and goal setting.  

Sales, Marketing & Business Development Consulting
Managing the cost side of your business is only part of the formula that drives profit increases. The most impressive results occur when sales grow while costs remain under control. Is your sales force growing the business or simply managing what you already have? How many new customers did you add last year? How much did you grow in your existing customers? Are your profit margins declining or increasing? Are you marketing to and calling on the market segments that you can serve most profitably? Banyan will help you evaluate your current sales program effectiveness and create strategic plans designed to grow sales and profit margins simultaneously.

Operational Consulting
Improving quality, on-time delivery, and productivity is an on-going mission for just about all of our customers.  Banyan helps companies achieve positive results in these areas by incorporating best practices learned through implementation of Lean and Six Sigma in a variety of manufacturing and distribution environments.

Employee Performance
Almost every business book or management article you read talks about the importance of people to the long-term success of a company.  Yet, many companies spend more time planning the annual holiday party than they do evaluating and improving employee performance.  Banyan helps companies improve the methodology they use in evaluating current employees, transitioning D’s and F’s out of the business, recruiting talented individuals into the organization, and retaining top performers.

Supply Chain Management
Every company has a supply chain.  Banyan will ensure that your company is leveraging suppliers for maximum value.  We find that while most of our customers have negotiated favorable terms around pricing and delivery of product, that they are not taking full advantage of all of the products and services their suppliers have to offer.  Banyan works with your purchasing managers and supplier representatives to set performance goals allowing you to tap into all your supply chain has to offer.

Performance Benchmarking
How is your company doing?  How do you measure this?  What about in areas other than sales?  Every business has key profit levers.  Do your front line managers understand the key areas that drive your business’s profitability?  Banyan will help you and your managers develop ways to measure performance in key areas impacting profits without sacrificing any desire you have for confidentiality.
