Initial Business Diagnostic And Review/Report
by Jerry Leath
DOES YOUR COMPANY NEED A
DIAGNOSTIC? (continued from page 1)
Here is the short list of the activities and issues we cover in the Initial
Business Diagnostic.
Supply Chain Continuity and Risk Analysis
Human Resources (The foundation of a healthy and successful
company)
The Daley Group believes that attracting, developing, and retaining
qualified talent is the most crucial element of success. This success is
dependent on finding the people that are the right fit for your company.
The following process outlines how The Daley Group accomplishes
this goal:
Company handbook
Recruitment Processes
Career Path
Leadership Analysis
A key point of concern in valuing your company and its prospects for

company continue to grow profitably? Have you developed a company

get 110% out of your people? In other words are you getting the most
from your investment in people? What is your succession plan and exit
strategy? Have you developed and executed a business continuity plan.
Finance Analysis
Would the Core Leadership Team be alerted to a potential problem or

problem? Does your leadership team have a "core team dash board"
that gives them the information they need in a timely manner?
Operations Analysis
