Free Business Analysis

Analyze-Your-Business ™ is a free business analysis tool that helps you determine the strengths and weaknesses of your organization. The tool is a great way to get a quick analysis of your business systems to determine your organizational effectiveness. It seems to be amazingly accurate for both small businesses and divisions of much larger organizations.

The first step in the consulting process is to perform a business operations analysis. This is done by making observations and interviewing the key management people. Analyze-Your-Business ™ contains many of our interview questions that we use.

Next is a self-assessment survey that involves answering 100 questions about your organization. The questions are centered around 10 major business systems: Business Planning, Financial, Management & Leadership, Marketing, Sales, Quality Systems, Engineering, People Systems, Operations & Manufacturing, and Measurement and feedback. Just answering the questions will give you great insight into your business. This business analysis can be completed in about 15-20 minutes.

The survey is an excellent way to start an improvement program for your organization or as a starting point when working with a consultant. We developed it as a consulting tool as we start working with new clients. It was so powerful that we decided to include this in our web site.

The survey is also a quick way to target the strengths and weaknesses within an organization when doing a SWOT analysis (strengths - weaknesses - opportunities - threats). You will end up with profile of your business strengths and weaknesses. Remember to build on your strengths and fix your weaknesses.

The results are immediately available with no waiting. Here is how to interpret the results for each category.
