type of client can be an important key
[2]
driver but it's not necessarily the
[3]
first thing you think when you think
[4]
about the business model at the end in
[6]
some companies this is the only thing
[8]
you need to change MPT focuses on
[16]
improving the business model of SMEs why
[19]
is this aspect so important for them
[21]
well first of all companies are designed
[24]
around business models or the sort of
[26]
normal force SME this is a spatial
[28]
environment we normally think that if
[31]
you look at companies that are below say
[34]
15 20 millions in revenues you have a
[36]
simple business model and typically is
[38]
designed around passion of the
[41]
entrepreneur and very often we are
[43]
talking about family businesses and the
[46]
business model is more like reviewed by
[48]
the say accountants that actually look
[50]
into the numbers to see if the
[52]
sustainability of the product and the
[53]
production for what concern mid
[56]
mid-sized company is a bit more
[58]
interesting because you see that you
[61]
begin to have very often different part
[64]
of the business models or different part
[65]
of the business a diversification of of
[68]
the of the of the business line so it is
[72]
very important to make sure what are the
[74]
cross interference or cross synergies in
[80]
within a company and these typically
[82]
need to be analyzed and can if well
[85]
organized can actually improve in a very
[88]
strong way the way the business is
[90]
executed and it's about and it's all
[92]
about execution the way companies
[93]
actually put in place their business
[96]
model so processes and the ability to
[100]
grow so do you see any reoccurring heat
[103]
drivers of any successful Assamese well
[106]
we see many many companies actually
[108]
especially this year with so many
[110]
companies mostly in the industrial and
[113]
tim-ki utilities sector and we see that
[119]
the typical key drivers of these
[122]
companies are mostly the ability of
[124]
operate the company in in a smooth way
[127]
so being again the same as I said before
[130]
we are talking about processes and
[132]
very often as our little big disregarded
[135]
against simple industrial processes the
[139]
example is when you talk about the
[141]
process with an entrepreneur he will
[142]
tell you that he has a process because
[145]
he is actually building the pieces he is
[146]
putting together or we are actually with
[149]
fashion a little bit so even in fashion
[150]
you have a process for that or we say
[153]
process it can be also not an extractive
[155]
process all the parts of the company
[157]
need to be very well organized and that
[158]
is not like making sure that the company
[162]
is too stiff that's not the point the
[164]
point is the company need to be
[166]
organized in a way to be sustainable to
[169]
make sure that when you change employees
[170]
because that might happen you have a
[172]
continuity and especially to provide the
[175]
sustainability for the long term to
[177]
sustain the operational and financial
[180]
sustainability are very important for a
[182]
company and by the way there are
[183]
actually a key driver for value of the
[186]
company over when you go on the market a
[188]
new propose you need to to propose the
[191]
value of your company you will have a
[192]
better or higher value if the company is
[195]
the most stable operations regard in
[197]
size if a company grows or enlarges does
[200]
that mean it has to change its business
[201]
model well it's an interesting question
[206]
normally it does not need to change the
[210]
business model now it depends on what we
[212]
are looking at when you look at startups
[214]
for example startups very often are in
[216]
the tech environment and there they need
[219]
to be open to change in business model
[221]
they sometimes even very quickly and
[223]
it's in the nature of that environment
[225]
of the startup environment when you look
[228]
at industrial or consumer good companies
[230]
that are a bit bigger or that become a
[232]
bit bigger it's not necessarily true we
[234]
actually have a very good case in Italy
[236]
that we are looking at we are actually
[237]
trying to buy the company right now and
[240]
they are in the utility sector that's
[242]
very stable and they are in the range of
[246]
50 to 100 million in revenues I mean of
[248]
course it's a big food shot but that's
[251]
because they came down from roughly 100
[255]
million three or four years ago and now
[257]
they're around 50 the point is even in
[260]
that size the business model can be
[262]
relatively simple and the company I can
[263]
be
[264]
easily well structure and it's more a
[267]
matter of focusing on few key drivers
[269]
where it can be a credit collection or
[272]
the ability of of attracting certain
[277]
type of client again it's another type
[278]
of client that sort of is typical of
[281]
many type of companies the type of
[283]
client can be an important key driver
[285]
but it's not necessarily the first thing
[287]
you think when you think about the
[288]
business model at the end of in some
[290]
companies this is the only thing you
[291]
