The Recurring Savings Scan

Find where your first recurring saving sits, across duplicate entry, rework, overtime, contract leakage and recovery gaps, in 5 minutes, without replacing the systems you already run on.

Five minutes, five steps

Enter your headcount and blended hourly cost. Start at $80 if you do not know it.
Answer one question for each of the five places a saving hides. Estimates are fine. You will replace them with real figures later.
The scan multiplies by 48 weeks and your rate, and shows one figure twice: what it costs now, and what comes back first.
Read the largest line. That is where your first recurring saving sits.
Put that line at the top of Thursday's agenda.

The five places a saving hides

1 · Re-entry. Minutes per person per week typing something in a second time

2 · Rework. Hours a month, across the firm, redoing work because the first version was wrong or late

3 · Overtime. Hours a month, across the firm, worked late to bridge the gaps

4 · Contract leakage. Annual cost of contracts and subscriptions that renewed without a decision

5 · Recovery gap. Working days the firm would lose if one key person left tomorrowPeople affected while it is covered

One figure, two readings

What it is costing you now

–

a year, on your numbers

What comes back first

–

A model, labelled as one. Twenty minutes a week per person is below what a rebuilt operating model has returned before. Every input is replaced with your real figures in week two of any engagement.

The next step

You have a figure in your own numbers. The BORe Diagnostic tells you how much of the structure behind it is holding, and how much is held together by people.
