Managing for Profit

Profit Influencers 1.Raise Prices - Higher Value 2.Lower Variable Costs - Efficiency 3.Fix Underperformers 4.Increase Volume - Utilization 5.Lower Overhead Costs

Raise Prices Earn higher fees – Specialization – Innovation – Add more value Get “better” work Train/develop staff Invest in new (higher-value) services

Lower Variable Costs Develop methods/systems to avoid duplication of efforts Improve performance/efficiency for each assignment Increase leverage in the delivery of services – use appropriate level for each activity

Fix Underperformers Deal with underperformers Drop unprofitable services Drop unfavorable clients

Increase Volume Increase utilization (billable hours per person)

Lower Overhead Costs Reduce space and equipment costs Reduce support staff costs Improve speed of billing Improve speed of collections

Profitability Levers Salaries Billing Rates Hours Worked Billable Percent Overservicing

Billing Power Analysis Number of employees at each level X Billing rate for the level X Total Hours (1,750) X Billable Target = Potential Income

Mis-Used Time Work done at wrong level Perfectionism Low-value activities

Staffing to Retainers

Staff Allocation Interactive
