Improving Profits by Identifying Leverage Point

A leverage point is a strategic area within a business system where a small, focused change can produce a significant, disproportionate increase in profitability. This advanced course provides a comprehensive framework for systematically identifying and acting upon these critical points, moving beyond incremental cost-cutting to strategic interventions that dramatically enhance revenue, margin, and return on investment.
