Grantlun got us to assess our entire operation (the good and the bad). So far we are having real in-depth conversations as we work through the workbooks and are optimistic we will see real improvement to our quality and bottom line. Great approach, great product and great people.
Grant Lungren’s extensive real world construction experience and technical insight have been an invaluable help to our organization. Grant has helped us streamline our operations and helped us to implement many time saving automated systems. With his help we have trimmed our workforce while growing our revenue. I would recommend Grantlun to anyone that is interested in having a knowledgeable no-nonsense party on their advisory board.
Grant Lungren has been a tremendous asset to our company. He has helped us establish and define our corporate structure as well as aided us in the implementation of business processes that have allowed our company to grow. I personally, rely on him for his knowledge and insight to our industry – someone that I can lean on. We were taught very well how to run the equipment and get the jobs done. We just weren’t taught how to run a business. That’s where Grant comes in!
Grant’s knowledge of systems and procedures and, more importantly, his ‘been there, done that’ experience has helped us navigate the many pitfalls inherent to a growing construction company. In addition, Grant’s many contacts and nationwide exposure allow us to ‘benchmark’ ourselves against similar companies. Grant’s most important contribution has been to help me meet the company’s goals while at the same time meeting my personal goals for a balanced and full life.
Model
Three “models” define what operations will look like under the plan and thus test the plan’s viability:
- Ideal Business Model
- Ideal Organization Model
- Ideal Financial Model
Ideal Business Model
The IBM defines the properties, sequence and timing of those tasks involved in the ideal execution of day-to-day operations.
Grantlun can get you started using its already establish “Core Process Network” which documents best practices in the BID-BUILD work flow.
Each process in it is charted step-by-step with a “TaskMap” and a set of supporting documents.
Ideal Organization Model
The IOM defines those business functions and attendant roles ideally needed to operate according to the IBM. It also defines the positions in the company’s organization needed to fulfill each of the business functions’ roles.
Ideal Financial Model
The IFM defines the cost of the positions established in the IOM; and, using revenue and cost assumptions, as well as cost and financial history; forecasts financial results; and, sets the business plan’s standards of success.
