Multiplier Consultancy
We are dedicated to helping businesses thrive, evolve, and excel in today's dynamic market landscape
At Multiplier Consultancy, we believe in driving continuous improvement through strategic methodologies. Today, we're thrilled to introduce our innovative concept: Run to Target, built on the foundation of the PDCA Cycle - Plan, Do, Check, Act.

What is the PDCA Cycle?
The PDCA Cycle, or Plan Do Check Act cycle, is a powerful four-step management tool designed for continuous improvement. It's about systematically testing solutions, assessing results, and implementing effective changes. This methodology promotes testing improvements on a small scale before implementing them company-wide.
