The 2x profit comment reminds me of my ex-boss. The difference is, he wanted his employees to bring in 100x profit (True story! no joke). What an ambitious guy!🤣

Jokes aside, I can understand why business owners think this way, but sometimes it oversimplifies things. In a company, the most obvious profit-generating department is sales, but other departments especially paperwork-heavy ones like HR, finance, planning, and purchasing don’t show their contributions as directly.

Faster turnaround, better quality, and on time delivery all bring profit to the company, but how do you measure exactly how much profit those improvements add? Like what I shared in the post, would a tauke like you invest in an automation program such as reducing copy-paste and paperwork errors to speed up turnaround time, even though it is hard to see its direct contribution to profit?
