The Guisado Group came together in 2008 during one of the worst times for business during recent history. Financial markets around the world were in turmoil. Large financial companies were failing. The US government intervened domestically.
The credit marketplaces disappeared. Revolving lines of credit which many businesses rely on for daily operations were no longer available. Businesses were hoarding cash. Capital expenditures were indefinitely suspended.
Businesses, small, medium and large, were struggling to keep their doors open. Some failed. Others were forced to lay off employees, sell assets, reduce debt and raise cash.
It became urgent for businesses to understand why they did what they did and become much smarter about how their business operated. Three areas came under scrutiny within every business.
Foremost, how do companies make sure their business is running as efficiently and effectively as possible? Inefficiencies come in many forms and hide in the most unlikely places. Inefficiencies hide in plain sight.
Using advanced process analysis and business process simulation techniques our process management group, led by Jim Thomson, assist our clients streamline operations. Process simulation allows what if my modeling around human and physical 
resource amounts. The combination of these two disciplines will provide knowledge based cost savings to business operations.
Second, once your operation is running efficiently, how then do you make the business grow ? How much growth can be realized before additional resources are needed? Which resources will be required first? Which added resources will make the biggest improvements? Efficiently running the business is part of the answer.
In every case growing means increasing sales. Selling is an art which demands discipline and experience. From accurate forecasting to consistent closing, our team can hep your firm master all aspects of selling.
One final point. What is a good approach to managing the money from the profits generated? Is it best to invest in the business or to invest in the market? Does your business plan have goals,
objectives and a specific time horizon?
