How to scale your firm with 3 capacity planning tips
If you’ve ever found your firm missing key deadlines, overestimating capacity might be the issue. Productivity and output, as a matter of course, will be negatively impacted. Evaluating your firm’s ability to serve is crucial but surely not the easy task.
Bottleneck
From our observation, bottleneck tends to occur either in the client relationship or in quality control tasks. Focusing on employee training or outsourcing repetitive, low-value tasks to eliminate bottlenecks could be the key to maximise throughput. You can add more value to your services, take on new clients, and ultimately, improve your profit margin.
Workflow management
It will be quite time-consuming if the capacity is tracked manually. Cloud workflow/capacity planning solutions may come as a great relief. It would help your firm to analyse where the bottlenecks are and where to focus your attention.
Offshore team
Capacity is no longer the issue once your tasks are passed off to a quality Outsourcing provider. It’s the logical way to ease the burden on your in-house teams, free up time for them to concentrate on more business-critical work.
