Flexibility is critical for success in my business. When working with clients, we make specifc goals for their business performance. This could be a certain amount of revenue, increase in margin, or reduction of costs. Goals are the finish line. In order to get the those goals we develop a plan, which is the roadmap to get to the finish line. The plan is where flexibility is needed. In keeping with the roadmap/finish line metaphor, sometimes a road is closed or the car breaks down and needs repairs. When I prepare forecasts or model scenarios for clients, it requires constant flexibility. Each month we adjust based on external or internal factors. Our plan can be affected by competitors, changes in regulations, or demand. In being flexible, I can help clients accomplish their end goals no matter what happens on the way there.
