Bullet Proof. The Ideal Alignment Of Business Organization & Communication

Bullet Proof. The Ideal Alignment Of Business Organization & Communication

BULLET PROOFOne of the first business people I met after moving from Toronto to St. Catharines last December was a lady named Charlene Norman, who had also moved here from Toronto about 9 months earlier.
I came here with a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do with my business, and as it turns out, the fates were kind, Charlene was the exact person I was looking to be associated with.
Charlene is an ex-corporate executive with an amazing track record of business building and management. She came here with the same objective in mind as I had, which was to work with some of the larger businesses in the Niagara area, which was anywhere from Buffalo NY to Hamilton & Burlington.
After a couple of long meetings, we evolved the idea of an association. Not a contractual business partnership, but very much a team effort, designed to help businesses from the organizational, marketing and communications points of view.
Our aims were relatively simple.
1. To work with companies to identify both pain points and opportunities.
2. To correct the pain points through an easy to implement and maintain methodology that Charlene had developed and used in her corporate life, to organize and or re-organize as the case might be.
3. To create and manage going forward communications.
4. To access and use the wealth of excellent support services that exist here in the Niagara region.
5. To provide these services at affordable rates.
Charlene is one of the brightest business people I have met in a long time. She has an approach to business that is simple and uncluttered, but deadly accurate in terms of dealing with issues that may be holding companies back.
My experience with branding, marketing, and communications means that everything we create for our clients will be well thought out, easy to implement and accurate in its execution.
It is exactly the one-two punch I envisioned when I moved into this market.
Time, of course, will tell, just how well-received this will be. But, at the moment, we are both extremely optimistic.

Say Hello To Bullet Proof.

The system that will help your
business become bigger, better,
stonger, smarter & admirably
equipped to handle whatever is
around the next corner.

 

Your business is a machine. It has a lot of moving parts that are interdependent

In order for it 10 run smoothly, all the parts of your business need to be in synch and well
taken care of

When something goes out of sync, it can create a ripple effect that can cause disruption
in many other areas. This can affect the quality of your product or service, your productivity,
and ultimately the satisfaction of your clients, customers and employees

One of the hardest things to do in business is to hold a mirror up fo your
company and see where, how and why things are out of sync.

At Bullet Proof, we look at businesses analytically and objectively, from the operational,
financial and marketing perspectives to identify pain points and opportunities throughout
the entire spectrum of activity that makes a business competitive and successful

We then customize and put in place and help manage a powerful, proven system that
facilitates retooling, re setting, update and adapting to ever changing customer needs

This system is designed to correct what doesn’t quite work today and make the adjustments
necessary so that it will work now and in the future

Over time, we will monitor and adjust your system plus help manage any marketing and
communications that might be required to keep your customers and staff up to speed

In short, it’s about bullet proofing your business
through the key dimensions of
People, Process, Passion, Purpose & Profit.

;
The P-5 System & How It Can
Benefit Your Business

ns TN 47 Jy Businesses con often suffer from complexities

that need to be simplified, systems that become
overburdened and people who are perhaps

7 juggling too many balls

When this happens, any gap or disruption can
create a domino effect which can adversely affect
operations, aftitides, efficiencies and ultimately
productivity and profitability.

 

At Bullet Proof, we have seen and been involved
with the course correction and the restructuring of many different types of disrup-
tions. And what we have learned from this we have put into the design of a sane,
logical, peoplefocused approach to the correction and ongoing management of
quickly growing or out of sync, over-siressed, dysfunctional business operations

Our system, called P-5, can be adapted to a wide range of specific
matic business situations, creating a simplified, painless
go-forward approach.

The P5 System takes into account the principal touch points of your business
- People + Process + Passion + Purpose + Profit -

Through analysis and analytics, it can identify and then strengthen the weak links

And through a fully customized meeting and reporting system, it can ensure that any
course corrections can be implemented and managed easily and successfully over
time in o way that provides genuine transparency, excellent motivation, true
empowerment and a level playing field. Across your entire organization

The P-5 system is designed to simplify and organize
business processes in a way that’s easy to implement
and modify when circumstances change,
as they inevitably will.
