Companies are today operating in ever increasing cut-throat environments both at a micro and macro level, where markets and investors grapple with industry trends that are in a continuous state of flux whilst competition is mushrooming new strategies in their bid to capture market share.
Within this intensive scenario, it is imperative that an enterprise constantly remains dynamic, vigilant for areas where it can improve its performance and be ready at all times to seize opportunities that may emerge along the course of its business. It is in this context that continuously seeking to improve performance has become a major necessity for a company to survive. Performance can be improved through various vehicles and in various areas of an enterprise: reductions in its cost base, improvement in operations and productivity, sharpening research and development effectiveness and adoption of innovative sales and marketing strategies, amongst others.
Within this vertical sector we specialise in executing strategies of performance optimisation through two complementary tools: cost structure transformation and business process redesign.
Our services in relation to cost structure transformation involve helping our client to develop a mind-set on the basis of which a periodic effort is made to reduce ineffective spending and re-channel savings generated to areas within the enterprise which can lead to a competitive advantage being achieved.
Complementarily, to ensure a lasting implementation we ensure that our business process redesign initiatives are carried out hand-in-hand with our clients. The process kicks off through the application of a thorough review of the enterprise’s processes, on the basis of which we proceed to create a matrix prioritising the key processes in terms of impact on quality, cost and turnaround time. Subsequently we proceed to map out these processes and identify weaknesses, gaps and areas where changes may be required. Together with the client we take the lead of a dedicated project team involving management and resources from the areas where redesign requirements have been identified. Through our proven methodology, we ensure that the client team will own the changes whilst we evolve and structure the necessary solutions optimise performance, efficiency and effectiveness leading to a material financial impact.
