ABOUT US
Welcome to Business Enlightenment. We publish online Systems, Organisation and Process ‘health-checks’ called Pathway Audits™ that can quickly and cost effectively assess your ability to deliver Strategy, Programmes and Change. Pathway Audit business diagnostics use a similar approach to online Personality Profiles and are introduced more fully in our explanatory video - Pathway Audits - Introduction to Online Business Analysis & Diagnostic Tools
Business Enlightenment provides the “simple solution” to complex organisational issues. Senior executives, managers, and their teams often hold the key, without collectively realising it, to a deep understanding of their organisations strengths and development needs.
This ‘collective wisdom’ can be accessed through “Pathway Audits”; Pathway Audits are the routes to discovery. Our growing team of experienced directors, consultants and academics have developed the on-line tool of Pathway Audits. These are simple and quick to use but very illuminating, giving “Over thirty years of experience in thirty minutes”.
Pathway Audits are applied to key business issues, for example Change, Outsourcing, I.T., M&A, Executive Selection, Downsizing, Lean Thinking and even Leadership. It is through the combined knowledge and experience of the Business Enlightenment team that we have devised methods to access this hidden collective wisdom found within your organisation.
About Pathway Audits™
Our Pathway Audits identify your company’s present state of implementation or readiness, focusing on those factors that enable progress and those that present barriers. All the Audits are on-line surveys completed by your nominated executives, senior managers and their teams.
Our Pathway Audits are designed to reveal significant and powerful information that consultants or organisations can act on and stimulate invaluable discussion and debate. These Pathways are designed to help you start or continue your journey in important business areas so you achieve your vision efficiently and effectively.
Business Enlightenment generates reports that will save you time and money, pointing the way to a successful pathway for implementation and the achievement of planned business benefits. Feedback and interpretation is provided by both the authors and any designated consultants. The tools we use are complex and have been designed over a substantial period of time. They get to the heart of your key issues when implementing your business strategy, programmes and change.
The tools have been designed over many months by;
