The Business Priority Pyramid, as outlined by Mike Michalowicz, provides a structured framework akin to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, tailored specifically for businesses. This case study explores how Video Supply contributed to visualizing and explaining this concept through effective video production and editing.

The Concept

The Business Priority Pyramid identifies five essential levels of needs for businesses:

1. Sales: The foundational need, akin to physiological needs in Maslow's hierarchy, ensuring cash flow into the business.
2. Profit: The sustainability level, ensuring that the business can retain and grow its financial resources.
3. Order: Creating systems and efficiencies to maintain stability and scalability.
4. Impact: Achieving broader goals such as market influence and customer satisfaction.
5. Legacy: Establishing long-term significance and contributions beyond immediate business success.

To proactively correct something in your business, you need solid systems in place. Fix This Next was written for this purpose. I created a powerful diagnostic tool called Business Priority Pyramid so you have a visual of where you are in your business, what to fix first and how to reach your business goals.

So what is Business Priority Pyramid about, anyway? It’s a model of your business needs, based on the same fundamentals as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Within Maslow’s Hierarchy, you see the base is physiological, then there is safety, followed by belonging and love, esteem, and finally, self actualization. Fundamentally speaking, The Business Priority Pyramid follows this model by replacing our human needs with those of our business.

Business Priority Pyramid

The Business Priority Pyramid is the compass that will move your business toward the vision you originally had. By applying it, you will assess your business to see what requires repair. You will use the evaluation tools I have created to help you navigate and understand exactly where you are in your business and what needs to be addressed in order to propel you forward.

Video Production Approach

Video Supply collaborated with the Business Priority Pyramid team to effectively communicate these concepts:

1. Script Development: Crafted a clear and engaging script that simplified the complex hierarchy into digestible segments, using visual storytelling techniques.
2. Visual Representation: Employed animations, graphics, and on-screen text to visually depict each level of the pyramid, making abstract business concepts tangible and comprehensible.
3. Narration and Editing: Ensured seamless narration and editing to maintain viewer engagement and clarity throughout the video, reinforcing key messages at each level of business need.

Production Implementation

The video production highlighted:

• Clarity in Concept: Clearly articulated how businesses often prioritize needs incorrectly, akin to building floors of a house without a solid foundation, leading to instability.
