This Works in any Economy - The Business Priority Pyramid #fixthisnext #money #profit #sales
In this presentation Kevin Simpson outlines the Business Priority Pyramid, a hierarchical framework for evaluating an organization’s health and strategic focus. The pyramid consists of five levels—Sales, Profit, Order, Impact, and Legacy—each building on the one below. For each level, the speaker asks two diagnostic questions: “Do we have any?” and “Is it adequate?” Starting with sales, the presence and adequacy of revenue determine whether the business can support profit, which in turn creates stability. Adequate profit enables order, meaning operational efficiency that keeps the business running smoothly. Order supports impact, defined as transformational outcomes rather than mere transactions. Finally, sustained impact leads to legacy, the creation of lasting permanence. The speaker emphasizes that without meeting the lower‑level criteria, higher‑level goals cannot be achieved, and the pyramid works regardless of economic conditions.
