BUSINESS DIAGNOSTIC
Business Diagnostic
Today, we’re living in an era of rapid change and ever-increasing expectations and pressure. Customers expect businesses operating in or alongside the Tourism & Hospitality industry to be more personalised, relevant, digitally savvy and easy to do business with, while businesses are being directly impacted by the rate of technological change and the real threat of digital disruption.
At the same time, owners and shareholders of these businesses are exerting substantial pressure on them to optimise, to improve their performance, to identify growth opportunities and to work out how to best to future proof themselves. There’s never been a more important time to ensure your business is on the right path to a sustainable future.
The B Hive’s Business Diagnostic is a business health check designed to:
- assess the relevance of the vision and strategy of the business in the current context;
- capture and analyse insights that can identify the root cause of issues and the most critical areas for improvement: and
- improve a businesses’ operational performance and/or hone in on a problem or high potential areas of the business.
The B Hive adopts a strategic approach to explore:
- the things we know that we know;
- the things we know that we do not know; and
- the things we do not know or cannot know.

Testimonial
We engaged Tammy and the B Hive to help us work our way through a challenging period for our company. Tammy and the team have provided great guidance and support through a range of activities including stakeholder interviews, various team workshops and research initiatives delivering a cohesive strategy which was endorsed by the Board.
Their findings and recommendations extended to all areas of our business including the review of current practices, the identification of new opportunities, creating clear value propositions for the various parts of our business and a direct way forward for CruiseCo.
The B Hive were not only incredibly easy and great to work with, they also over delivered when it came to the outcomes we were looking for. They helped frame better conversations across all levels of the business and we will continue to use them to understand all of our options as we now start to implement the outcomes of their activities.
