Focus On Business Execution
Profit mapping is used by companies to execute their strategy no matter what it is. Strategy can range from everything to improving profitability, increasing customer satisfaction, reducing costs, becoming more flexible in product or service delivery, reducing waste, and so on.
As companies translate strategy into measurable objectives, profit mapping then bridges the gap between planning and execution. It does this by identifying:
- The nature of the problem within the context of the capabilities and constraints of the organization.
- The specific parameters under management control that are linked to the business challenges.
- The sensitivity of the various parameters for improving business performance.
- An execution roadmap showing the specific steps and actions required to achieve the business objectives.

Famous quotes containing the words focus, business and/or execution:
“If we focus mostly on how we might have been partly or wholly to blame for what might have been less than a perfect, problem- free childhood, our guilt will overwhelm their pain. It becomes a story about us, not them. . . . When we listen, accept, and acknowledge, we feel regret instead, which is simply guilt without neurosis.”
—Jane Adams (20th century)
“No, I regret nothing, all I regret is having been born, dying is such a long tiresome business I always found.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“I will soon be going out to shape all the singing tomorrows.”
—Gabriel Péri, French Communist leader. Letter, July 1942, written shortly before his execution by the Germans. Quoted in New York Times (April 11, 1943)
