What Is the Blitz-Audit and When Will You Need It?

You will have to conduct a corporate blitz-audit (CBA) whenever you want (or need) your company to make a quantum leap in its corporate performance. And to make it fast – otherwise in our fast-paced corporate world your company is very likely to not make it at all.

The first obvious case for conducting a CBA is when your business in in some form of corporate distress. In other words, when your company experiences problems serious enough to threaten its prosperity, well-being or even its existence. And you need to solve these problems fast. Real fast. Which includes finding the true causes of these problems.

The second frequent case is when your business slows down or even stagnates. And you want to put it onto a fast track of corporate growth – in terms of revenues, profits, cash flows and financial value. And again, you need to do it fast (there is seldom – if ever – such a thing as a slow quantum leap).

In both cases, you will need to start with conducting a CBA that focuses on key areas of your business system. Key, but tightly interconnected. It allows to quickly find money-making and performance-improving opportunities and use them to solve crucial corporate problems and to make the desired quantum leap in revenues, profits, cash flows and financial value.

One of the key advantages of the ‘corporate cockpit’ methodology presented in this e-book is that it insists that your ultimate objective is not to just solve urgent and pressing business problems. And not even to make the abovementioned quantum leap.

It is to transform your company into a powerful and fast-growing money-making machine operating at the highest possible performance at all times. Therefore, your CBA is just a first step in a broader project of optimizing your corporate structure and maximizing its performance.

Hence, your CBA must be immediately followed by two other vital corporate projects – a comprehensive corporate analysis (CCA) and strategic corporate restructuring/reengineering (SCR). An important part of SCR is deployment of kaizen – a system of permanent corporate self-improvement – that will make sure that your company operates at the highest possible performance.

Naturally, all of these projects must use the same methodology – the ‘corporate cockpit’. And the results of your CBA will become a firm foundation for all three subsequent stages – CCA, SCR and kaizen.
