Why Do We Use it?

The Power of 3 simplifies performance management by concentrating on three key areas: growth, costs, and cash flow. Maintaining balance among these factors helps businesses to grow sustainably, gain profits, and make data-driven decisions. It provides business leaders with a practical approach to maintaining stability and achieving long-term success.

How To Calculate a Power of 3?

  • Identify the total gross revenue for the selected time period
  • Calculate all direct costs, also known as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
  • Subtract COGS from gross revenue to determine the gross profit
  • Add up total operating expenses such as salaries, rent, and administrative costs
  • Subtract operating expenses from gross profit to calculate the net profit
  • Adjust the three main drivers, revenue, COGS, and operating expenses, by a small percentage, typically around 3%
  • Compare the original net profit with the adjusted net profit to assess the impact of small improvements across these three areas

Power of 3 Formula

E-commerce Growth Power (EGP) = Customer acquisition efficiency × Conversion rate × Retention rate
