What is an Efficient Practice (business)?


An efficient practice (business) is one that maximizes profit for the given resources at its disposal. An efficient practice operates smoothly, like a well-oiled machine, with little additional effort required to keep it at this pace. Jim Collins in his book, "Good to Great", (Amazon Books) talks of pushing against the flywheel. In the beginning the enormous weight requires tremendous effort to even move the flywheel a little bit. But, over time, the flywheel begins to pick up speed. Less and less effort is needed to keep it moving. This concept of forward momentum is at the heart of the efficient practice.

The result can be an exponential increase in net profit and/or use of time. For some, the goal may be to increase profit. But, profit alone is missing the point of efficiency. We could dramatically increase gross profit, but if your expenses actually exceed the profit gain, you could end up with an overall loss. Simply spending more does not necessarily result in higher profits. The key is to study your net profit. Net profit is what you take out of the practice after all the expenses have been met. This is the number to focus on. Not gross profit!

To achieve the result of an increase in net profit requires studying several fundamental aspects of your practice. By applying sound business principles to those aspects, net profit can be significantly enhanced. So can your use of time. Effective time management is at the heart of an efficient practice. Making best use of your time and that of your employees can result in increased net profits also. Therefore, time management becomes one of the key fundamental aspects of your practice that should be studied.
