Full Potential Diagnostics
The difference between what a company is achieving and what it is truly capable of can be significant. Case in point: a past specialty chemicals client of dss+ was achieving the industry average earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of 4.5%. Two years later, thanks to our dedicated strategic consultants, the same company was hitting an EBIT level of 12.7%.
If you want to know what your organisation is capable of, full potential diagnostics provides the answer. By taking a structured approach to assessing the key value drivers for your business, they provide a comprehensive business case for change. What’s more, you get a detailed roadmap to achieve business performance improvements in a defined timeframe. In short: our management consulting teams show you what your full potential looks like, then guide you through every step.![](/4a0ab9/globalassets/assets/images/sv-full-potential-diagnostics-hr.jpg)
What are full potential diagnostics?
The diagnostics analyse three critical areas across your operations:

How do full potential diagnostics work?
Full potential diagnostics consulting consists of three major phases:
1. Preparation
Agreeing on the scope, timing, and deliverables with project leaders; assembling and validating the fact base, scheduling the site visits, workshops, reporting and meetings.
Fact-based analysis of ambitious but achievable full potential; collaboration to determine and prioritise biggest and/or easiest volume, cost and enabling initiatives.
3. Design a planDecide workstreams; craft a detailed implementation roadmap for each site that sequences initiatives; integrate the roadmap into a cumulative benefit tracking system.
Worried about hidden internal challenges that might hinder the process? Don’t worry. A concurrent gap analysis will identify any lack in capabilities, or processes that need to be developed, to ensure process excellence.
