Sustainable profitable growth and strategic enterprise risk management (ERM) expert Gary W. Patterson, FiscalDoctor® and Robert Barker, who has counseled boards and management teams for over 25 years, propose a simple common sense strategically applied executable plan to add or preserve meaningful value for your middle market or SMB company in their article The Risks of Undervaluing a Focus on Culture published by Corporate Compliance Insights (CCI) — https://www.corporatecomplianceinsights.com/risk-undervaluing-culture/

Here’s how you can use this two-minute test to benefit your organization:

• Do not forget the fundamental basics of how well your culture reflects the mission statement and focus
• Jot down your numerical ranking for each of three statements:
• Finally, make sure this information validates your strategic plan, budget and enterprise risk management framework.

Who should consider applying this process with applications for sustainable profitable growth governance, risk assessments and enterprise risk management (ERM) type issues, inside a value based operational and strategic assessment framework? Family business, private and public business and equity group investors, and including:

• Corporate directors, key committee chairs and board chairs

• Shareholders, stakeholders, regulators and legislators

To help meet financial and strategic goals, it is imperative for management to understand the magnitude of risks in pursuit of business objectives and how the organization’s products and offerings and opportunities can be mapped to these risks.

First, I trust all of you are safe, or have a path to safety.

Alan Weiss, one of my mentors, suggests the only business decision now that will work is innovation. It is not the time to hunker down only or coast.

Additionally, we need to have some motion underway when we want to restart. Will you have momentum if your business is at rest? Otherwise, will you be able to see what is coming, or will people be blinded by the light?

Innovation does not have to be high-tech only. It should come with realistic, plausible timeframes. When we created suitcases with wheels at TravelPro (There really was a time when you carried your suitcase in each hand.) or 99 cent hamburgers sold through the drive through window at Rally’s, these were both so radically different and innovative that no one believed they could possibly work.

You and I both are hearing more of the old cliché to use some of the time we now have to “work on the business, not in the business”.

Again, I trust you are safe and will see you on the other side of when COVID calms down enough for some version of moving forward again.

What can I do to help?  Glad to just be a friendly voice for a bad day, or a really great day.  678-319-4739.

Stay safe, Gary

More recent articles suggest business be flexible for WHEN things slow or even downturn.  This uncertainty always presents opportunities either to exploit or to prevent yourself being blindsided at the worst time, by someone seeing you as an opportunity for them to exploit.

Some of you reminded me that both in good  times and bad times, leaders always can use more cash. I accepted their suggestion for  this ezine.

Searching through my vault, I found and  updated my 7 best tips list on getting more cash quickly. Consider these 7 sure-fire tips on how to improve cash flow and fortify your company’s position in the marketplace.

1. Ask employees for suggestions. Heed  the adage, “Ain’t any of us as smart as all of us.”

• Scrutinize (or Obtain) your Rolling Operational Operating Statement,  for deeper looks.

• Learn which products now are loss leaders and either get rid of them or, at the very least, consider raising prices.

• Postpone purchases, when current justification appears questionable.

• Review inventory levels by how many days’ RECENT sales and adjust outstanding and future orders appropriately.

• Send out all accounts receivable  statements monthly. Believe it or not, people get sloppy in good times

• Do even more with even less. There is a reason why this tried-and-true phrase exists.

Ensure you timely, accurately AND REGULARLY  receive the management information reports to easily complete these reviews.

What other key information might you be  missing? Hard to have too much cash.

Pull this list out every six months to wash,  repeat and see where and how you can better manage your company’s cash flow.

When the economic climate changes as dramatically and as frequently as it seems  to nowadays, remember that cash is better than king – it rules.
