Operating the business

Keeping the wheels turning

Operating the business is the fourth layer in of the B3 framework®. It features six practical components that need to be in place for any company to operate day-to-day.

Taking a deliberate and planned approach to how these components are fulfilled in a particular business pays serious dividends. Work remains aligned, teams remained focussed and discretionary effort is maximised. Wasted time and effort in the business is kept to a minimum.
