But most organisations don't
UK small and medium sized enterprises are some of the least likely organisations to try.
UK SMEs could add £94 billion to the economy by maintaining a 1% improvement over 5 years
For an average SME (<250 employees) that would increase your profits by over £65,000.
How much money are you leaving on the table by not optimising?
But why?
41% of UK SMEs mention financial constraints as a major factor for why they are not optimising their organisation, but that's not the full story:
​
-
Time constraints - struggling to balance day-to-day operations (39%)
-
Departmental silos - a lack of collaboration between teams encouraging inefficiencies and duplication (38%)
-
Outdated processes - overly relying on manual and paper-based systems (38%)
-
Skills gaps - a lack of technical, IT, and job performance skills (36%)
-
Resistance to change - static procedures and a business as usual/ fixed mindset (32%)
-
​​​​Slow or no Adoption of Digital technologies - hesitation in embracing digital solutions (32%)
Is optimisation something you can really afford not to do?
"Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than trying to solve them."

Our Approach
Most organisations want to improve. Faster processes, better systems, leaner teams. But when it comes to optimisation, many SMEs get stuck - or worse, make things more complex.
​
Why? Because optimisation is misunderstood, misapplied, or rushed.
​
At Business IQ, we do things differently. We help you make your organisation work better - not just look better on paper.
We focus on practicality, not perfection - optimisation isn't about chasing theoretical best practice, it's about what actually works for your organisation.
We map reality, not just org charts - we don't rely on outdated assumptions or surface-level analysis, we dig deeper.
We simplify before we optimise - you don't need more systems, you need less friction.
We break silos and build alignment - true optimisation connects the dots between teams, tools, and goals.
We build capability, not dependency - we don't create a consutling hamster wheel. We leave you stronger, not reliant.
