INSIGHT

White Space Multiplies Profits

  • Packed calendars reduce decision quality and create profit leaks by preventing processing time after meetings.
  • Blocking six hours weekly of unscheduled white space led Kerystyn Williams to a 35% increase in average project value and new revenue opportunities.
ADVICE

Use A Strategic Priority Filter

  • Use a Strategic Priority Filter to evaluate opportunities by strategic capacity, energy impact, operational cost, and financial timing before saying yes.
  • Run a dual impact assessment, alignment test, energy-ROI calc, priority matrix, and monthly restructuring to prune low-value commitments.
ANECDOTE

High Pay Can Hide Energy Costs

  • Kerystyn tracked energy before and after client work and found a high-paying client drained her three energy points, making them least profitable.
  • The energized lower-paying client proved more profitable once recovery time and impact on other work were included.
