How do I grow & get back to Profit?

I have found in my assisting companies to regain sustainable growth and profit, there is a failure to understand or interpret variation for either their original strategic intent, budget, business plan or commitment to continuous improvement. It is essential for a business to predicate future success on the depth of knowledge that exists within the company employee structure, maintain operations in line with core competencies and train individually to get the best bang for the training dollar. Waste of employee capabilities, materials, and under utilisation of any asset will result in a bleak company future. Ensure the combination of knowledge, leadership and performance measures are top priority. This will then create the improvements needed by working from the inside out.
