Data-Driven Business Strategy

There are two types of managers: those who proactively manage their businesses and those who reactively manage their businesses.

Reactive management is a style of managing with which the business owner or CEO operates at the effect of daily events and is often one step behind. Instead of foreseeing problems and proactively improving a business, a reactive manager makes changes and decisions when it's too late after a problem has occurred.

In this style of management, strategies, plans, and decisions are based primarily on gut-feelings, other people's reactions and business instincts. Not bad, just not optimal.

It's always better to be a proactive manager. It's tough to make smart management decisions without sufficient business acumen, the right financial resources, and powerful tools. The reality is, one person, cannot be an expert in everything.

Management accounting will help you devise a data-driven business strategy and make decisions for your business based on actual information and intelligently calculated projections.

Rather than reacting to problems or successes, as they occur, you'll expect them and have a plan that outlines how to handle upcoming challenges. Think about the money and time savings and peace of mind that level of planning gives you.
