Explanatory Notes: Step 2: Pre-assessment Based on Public 7 Pillars of SME Empowerment.
Our pre-assessment is a free diagnostic for SMEs in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia using our public 7 Pillars of SME Empowerment. It identifies your top 2-3 growth gaps before we propose a monthly retainer, so you know exactly what you are paying for. It is different from the monthly Health-Check KPI scorecard our retainer clients receive.
For Prospects (Step 2 - Pre-assessment):
We assess WHAT to fix using 7 Pillars: 1) Strategic Clarity 2) Financial & Funding 3) Branding & Digital Transformation 4) Systems & Scalability 5) Mentorship & Culture 6) Indonesia/ASEAN Expansion 7) Compliance & HR.
For Retainer Clients (Step 3 onwards):
We measure HOW you improve using 7 Health-Check KPIs: Leadership clarity score, Planning & budget variance, Cash Flow debtor days, Compliance timeliness, Ecosystem partnerships, Digital %, and Business Resilience.
