Understand How It All Works

Business Consulting

One of the most important things a business owner can do is understand how their company works.

A business should not only accommodate the needs of its clients, but of its company and team. LNB works with leaders of companies to review the overall functionality of how their business is running. We also suggest solutions and tools that help produce optimal results.

Assess where your company is now
Create a plan of action for how you can achieve your goals
Implement the plan with suggestions and tools that specifically work to achieve cost efficiency, productivity, and infrastructure.

Corporate Remote Transition

With a robust freelance industry and the advent of the latest technology and tools which allow companies to have their teams work with more flexibility, it’s not surprising that some studies show that remote companies are more productive, efficient and have more positive outcomes.

LNB knows both the benefits and challenges of operating a fully-functional online business. We also understand that one of the most difficult things to manage is maintaining effective communication and a camaraderie of the team while transitioning your business. We has developed a system for transitioning any office-based company into a remote organization. Our approach includes solutions, best practices, procedures, technology and tools that work well for remote companies.

Human Resources and Recruiting

Human resources serves an essential internal function for a company, by helping to support positive relationships with your workforce. It is important to have a clear understanding of how you wish to utilize human resources in your company, as well as how you structure the HR role. This includes the day-to-day job responsibilities of each employee and vendor, the organizational hierarchy of your business and the value that the department adds to your business.

Leadership

As a business owner or executive of a company, your team initially sees you as someone who has a clear understanding of what they need to do and how. However as businesses grow, leaders often find themselves having to figure out how to reduce their daily operational tasks and become a more effective leader.

There are “taskers" and there are visionaries. Visionaries lead.

As one Forbes article points out, “Leaders create vision, managers create goals."

LNB works with leaders to help them identify the characteristics of a good leader, including delegation, creative and strategic development and team collaboration. These characteristics also allow teams to manage and execute the leader’s vision.

Operations Consulting

Operations Consulting refers to the advisement and administration of the operations of your business in order to create the highest level of efficiency possible within an organization. Among other responsibilities, operations consultants:

Provide consultation to management and leaders for operational effectiveness
Assist in the development of project planning and scheduling to achieve project goals
Identify and resolve business risks/issues in a timely manner
Maintain operation documentation for reference purposes
Provide recommendations on business process improvements and best practices
Guide team on business operations and problem-solving skills

Organizational Design

Companies want efficient workflow, function and progress. That’s where organizational design comes in. The Center for Organizational Design defines the process as “a step-by-step methodology which identifies dysfunctional aspects of workflow, procedures, structures and systems, realigns them to fit current business realities/goals and then develops plans to implement the new changes." Our primary goal: to help you achieve professional harmony in every area of your business.

Marketing and Brand Strategy

Branding and marketing are important and vital to putting your business “on the map." Each year, thousands of businesses start and end within the same year; oftentimes because they don’t have a brand or marketing plan. LNB works with companies to help them develop, plan and create tools and strategies that help build their brands and promote their businesses through marketing.

Marketing

Successful businesses use marketing to get the word out that they exist and that they provide great services and/or products. Throughout the years, LNB has interviewed many business owners that have been fortunate enough to have very successful businesses by word-of-mouth referrals and reputation. However, what if you want to expand your business services, transition into a different kind of company or even change your name? Marketing is essential for growth and for keeping customers engaged and up-to-speed.

OBM’s are professionals who are experienced and knowledgeable in office operations and business, so working with them allows the space owners and senior managers need to lead.

Assess the Process

Auditing

In business, assessment is the process of review and evaluation of records and other documents, financial statements, systems, software, procedures and team organizational structures to determine how well business is running internally as well as externally.

LNB Executive Consultancy offers a variety of business assessment services that can zero in on business pain points and suggest solutions for improvement. Please review the services below and connect with us to find out how we can help you.

Business Assessment

Our Business Assessment sessions are thorough. We focus on three main areas of your organization – Management, Operations and Financial – to immediately identify how your business functions. Once the assessment is completed, the real work begins. LNB reviews the assessment and prepares a detailed report of its findings.

LNB Executive Consultancy then offers meetings with the senior executives of each company to create and implement a plan of action.

Mini Business Assessment

LNB's Mini Business Assessment was created for companies that see “at the service" the beginnings of problems in infrastructure, team communication, procedures, financial difficulties and other issues that may be eroding your business core. Results of the business mini assessment help company owners get a much clearer understanding regarding the health of their companies.

Operational Audit

This audit gets to the “heart of the matter" – the operational make up of your company. The Operational Audit is a review of the daily operational efficiency of systems, procedures and work. Does your entire team work efficiently or are there team members who don’t complete projects in a timely manner or don’t work well with other team members due to poor communication? The Operational Audit can help you build an efficient, effective and professional organization.

Social Media Audit

In order to determine whether the marketing systems you currently use are what is best for your business, Marketing Audits review the communication you have with your target audience, reviewing:

Current Clients
Target Audience
Competitors
The current market your business is attracting

A marketing audit can provide an impartial view of how well your marketing efforts are faring, whether other marketing systems should be considered, what type of marketing strategy you can develop and whether the target market you are targeting is the right group to connect with.

Website Audit

For most successful businesses, their website is one of the most important marketing tools there is for the business owner. What we’d like to call the modern-day business card, a website is one of the most effective ways you keep current clients up-to-date with the latest about your services and/or products.

LNB Executive Consultancy looks at several factors that can affect the attraction to your website:

Functionality
User Engagement
Audience Traffic
Overall health and performance of site

Auditing of your business website can also help find any errors and issues that can affect your search engine rankings and security breaches.
