Business Improvement Review
Visit the BIR Micro site
The Business Improvement Review (BIR) for business is a strategic diagnostic review exploring the performance of people, management, operations, sales, marketing, and other business performance indicators. By finding out the perceptions of key stakeholders (managers, staff and customers - optional) you can build a model of businesses strengths and limitations.  This will determine actions and priorities that will mobilise your resources to improve your business performance.
Built around the powerful PRIMO-F model, the Business Improvement Review (BIR) is designed to assess the effectiveness with which your company is using its resources to achieve improved business and organizational success. Combined with recent financial results and your promotional and sales materials, it uses a structured questionnaire to hold an 'intelligent mirror' to the organization that reflects the views of stakeholders assisting your management team in identifying key business and management development issues facing the company.
The BIR uses current perceptions of performance covering finance, sales, marketing, operations and human resources, to examine factors that impact on the company's ability to adapt and grow. It also considers the prevailing organization culture expressed in terms of management values, style, expertise and effectiveness.
The outcome is a clarification of the critical business issues facing the company and, where appropriate, how access to the services of business support organizations that can support your company in dealing with these issues. It identifies the key development needs of the management team, making recommendations on how your team can gain knowledge or skill necessary to underpin future success.

Fed up with Innovation tools that seem fun and valuable at the time but the culture of the organisation remains? Or tools are not being put to best effect? Want to find the key to successful innovation? - Need to find the lever that builds the capacity for change & innovation, in individuals, teams and organisations?

To our knowledge the CreatrixTM is the only innovation instrument that focuses on the behaviours required for an organisation to become more innovative, rather than just creative technique. CreatrixTM... Ensuring accessibility to practical innovation for all organisations.

A powerful message...
A powerful method for today's companies
Behaviourally based change management framework
We challenge the current assumptions about Creativity and Risk Taking:
We all are creative - it's not only the artists
We all take risks - it is not only the thrill seekers
Today's companies need to tap into and develop the power of individual, team, and organizational creativity and risk taking to accelerate innovation.
Capacity for Change and Innovation Having worked for many organisations over the years, we have come to recognise that innovation is more than just a process, or indeed an attitude. It is that unique combination of factors which enable change and new ways of thinking. It about having the right mix of attitudes, skills and processes for the particular phase of an organisations life cycle or product range. The Creatrix Inventory uses a unique blend of the innovation equation ( Innovation= Creativity * Risk Taking) Activated by the DRIVERS necessary to enable real Action. Accelerating Innovation - Creativity is the ability to produce unconventional ideas, and when we are facing difficult challenges we need new ideas most.
- Isn't it under the most difficult times, when we are under the most difficult stresses, that we need those new ideas that can change or alter the path and redirect our energies? This full day class, based on The Creatrix Inventory is so unique that there's nothing comparable. The Inventory takes the concepts of creativity, risk taking and innovation and makes them understandable and concrete. Individuals, teams, organizations can increase their innovative capacity by leveraging their own knowledge of their creativity and risk-taking orientation and their results on the seven drivers of creativity and risk taking.
- Learn about your personal orientation toward innovation by taking the Creatrix Inventory
- Explore the Seven Drivers of Creativity and Risk Taking
- Discover how to unleash your own creative potential in productive ways for greater innovation.
The Creatrix Inventory The Creatrix Inventory is so unique that there's nothing comparable in the field of creativity, risk taking or innovation. - Originally developed by Dr. Richard E. Byrd in the 70's, it has since undergone several iterations, standing the test of time, widely accepted, and used like the MBTI and the Firo-B. Dr. Jacqueline Byrd has added to the work of her father and updated the inventory for today's use.
- The Inventory takes the concepts of creativity, risk taking and innovation and makes them understandable and concrete.
- Individuals, teams, organizations can increase their innovative capacity by leveraging their own knowledge of their creativity and risk-taking orientation and their results on the seven drivers of creativity and risk taking.
- The Creatrix Inventory has no right or wrong answers. Several studies have provided the necessary guidance for its development. Continued refinement is ongoing. More information on The Creatrix Inventory can be obtained by contacting CreatrixTM Research Division or Mike Morrison @ RapidBI.com.
