Business audits and analysis

Because the M3 model is based on the interrelationship of marketing, management and motivation, an initial, fixed-price audit of your organisation is often recommended to establish your current balance and identify any areas which may affect the future viability of specific activities. Such an exercise can often reveal surprising results and effectively establish the baseline from which you can move forward.

The audit involves us spending a concentrated period of time with you, speaking to a range of people about their experiences and opinions, at the end of which we produce a report of our findings. This “snapshot” of the firm will cover a number of key areas, highlighting your current strengths and weaknesses, together with apparent opportunities and threats.

Following this, should you wish it, we can jointly agree with you which areas need attention and establish a list of priorities. Most important of all, we help you decide what you ultimately need to achieve - from which, decisions can be made as to what exactly should be done, by whom, over what timescale and at what price.

Depending on your needs, the audit process can result in a whole variety of options in terms of our future input, ranging from having us advise on a major management and systems overhaul down to specific, targeted marketing communications activities.

However, at the end of the audit, there is no obligation for you to act on any of the recommendations provided. Should you decide not to take matters further, the report will be yours to keep.

Our audits are always undertaken with the utmost regard for confidentiality and the minimum disruption.
