Having the capability to generate quality client profitability data and the ability to use these data to support meaningful change in an organization are two entirely different processes. Generating the data is relatively easy and is available from most time, billing and accounting systems. A series of repeatable processes and data handling techniques can be designed to produce efficiently a final result that is actionable.
