# How to drive business value in 3 key areas [infographic]

WRITTEN BYJames Price | JPAbusiness

Many people run successful and efficient businesses, but don’t take the time to sit back and ask ‘what is actually driving the value in my business?’

Understanding those value drivers and focusing energy on them is **the difference between having a business that runs efficiently today, and one that builds value over time.**

So, what are the key value drivers in business? They relate to three important elements of the business:

- **Customers**
- **Suppliers**
- **Your people**

We have created the following infographic to help you pressure test those three aspects of your business, to ensure you are getting value today and driving value for the future.
