What is a business assessment?
A business assessment is the process through which a company objectively evaluates its organisational, economic and operational health.
It goes beyond accounting and financial statements: it covers the evaluation of strategy, processes and human resources, to understand how the company works and where it can improve.
This diagnostic phase is the starting point of every business improvement journey: it enables strategic decisions based on hard data, not perceptions.
An effective assessment enables you to
Identify inefficiencies and waste within business processes
Measure performance through clear, comparable key performance indicators (KPIs)
Evaluate the organisational structure and the alignment between roles, skills and objectives
Recognise opportunities for innovation and sustainable growth

A business assessment turns data into action. Using business intelligence tools and methods such as the fischer Consulting RADAR, companies can:
- Monitor their performance in real time
- Identify the root causes of problems
- Define prioritised action plans
- Build an ongoing control system geared towards improvement

Our Business Assessment for Bata
Objective: optimise the European logistics network and identify the ideal 3PL to support the group’s growth.
fischer Consulting carried out an in-depth business assessment based on the RADAR method, evaluating the performance of the various European hubs and comparing potential providers against 31 qualitative and quantitative indicators.
The project led to the confirmation of the 3PL provider that achieved the best benchmark score and overall investment cost, as well as to the definition of a more efficient and scalable logistics structure.
A project that shows how an accurate analysis can guide strategic choices and reduce operational waste.
