If you’ve worked with me, you’ve probably heard me say this quite a few times: “Teamwork makes the dreamwork.” That’s because years ago I played on an awesome water polo team, coached by a former All-American. Every position was equally important – from offense to defense - hole set to goalie. The balance was what made us successful. It’s the same in business. Every player, or department, within a payment technology company plays a role in building a balanced, successful company. But as companies scale, things can get complicated, and some departments become less important. Departments that perform non-core activities might not get the attention they deserve. These kinds of activities, such as payment hardware operations, are those not directly tied to the company’s competitive advantage. Over time, this creates an imbalance leading to underperformance and inefficiencies. This is where there's opportunity to unlock hidden value. In this article I share how payment technology companies risk becoming unbalanced and how focusing cost management initiatives in non-core areas can improve long-term profitability. Could your business use a fresh perspective? Let’s chat!
