Example: Business/ Finance Skills

Individual—Each employee makes decisions daily that will have a financial impact: Whether to use materials wisely or wastefully, whether to report and fix equipment problems or let upkeep slide, whether time is used effectively to balance labor costs and productivity. We help individuals take skills they may already have—from balancing a checkbook to running the hot dog stand at a Little League game—and apply them to your work situations.

Team—Companies make a major commit- ment of time and resources to process improvement projects and other activities that require the varied skills of a team. Yet financial awareness is an often-overlooked dimension of teamwork. With support and training, teams can effectively assess financial benefits or liabilities—and identify cost savings that dwarf the initial investment made to develop their skills. Getting new equipment started, process changes implemented or new products to market are some of the areas of greatest ROI or bottom-line savings where team skills are critical.

Supervisory—While most supervisors are charged with measuring results and controlling costs, the usual route to acquiring those skills is painful trial-and-error. Delta T helps you structure training based on your operating realities to bring supervisors up to speed quickly. Given the skills, supervisors can often identify and correct operating—and employee—problems that can be costly. Whether they are working to eliminate downtime or design more productive processes, supervisors need financial skills to maximize profits and results.

Management Leadership—We’re not going to tell you how to run your business—that is your strength.

But we can work with you at the organizational level to help you move the company’s financial focus from ideas in leaders’ minds to concrete strategies for business success.
