Grow Your Profits
By Chris Provost
New Book Addresses The Economic and Environmental Needs of Business By Identifying Issues and Providing Solutions for Sustainable Profits
Is your present business strategy flexible and profitable enough to weather the approaching storm clouds of increased fuel costs, climate changes, food issues and higher taxes? Developing strategic and tactical alternatives is key to preparing your business or government to address approaching disruptive events.
Terms like "Integrated Value Chain Management" and "VBridge" may be foreign to many business owners, but these terms are concepts that allow for a greater understanding of corporate operations and what it really means to be profitable.
In his book Grow Your Profits author and successful executive Chris Provost introduces the VBridge, a strategic operations model that when implemented by an organization the results are streamlined processes, increases employee efficiency, and transparency throughout operational systems. The focus of the VBridge Model is increasing profits, being responsible for next generation, customers, and respecting the environment by implementing sustainable processes.
Grow Your Profits is about seeing the future and planning for alternatives with the objective to help increase a company's Strategic and Ecological intelligence so they can achieve a profitable, sustainable, social and environmental footprint. The book contains a concise summary of the broad threats and future trends governments, world organizations and small and large businesses face. It presents alternative business and government models to aide in achieving profitable innovations, sustainable growth and higher margins.
"The future will require us to take a principled approach to personnel, customers, the environment and global cultures," says Provost, "while applying new co-operative, collaborative approaches to achieve sustainable global growth. The future will increasingly challenge our framework of government and business."
The two objectives of Grow Your Profits are to provide an overview of board trends and identify an efficient, effective toolkit for growing and transforming your business model and profitability."
Provost maintains that, "taking this approach changes your perspective as well as your strategic marketing plans as you view the needs of today's consumers through the lens of the impact on future consumers." He goes on to write that, "business strategy, product development, and marketing strategy are key parts of the VBridge and integral to building the communication process bridge."
