Our Services - Improving Business Performance
We work across four dimensions:
 Strategy
development, planning and communications
This is less about extensive documents and more about clarity of thinking about
the business and about how to thrive in the environment in which it operates.
Strategy development is about being clear how the business will win in its
markets and how it will create sustainable added value. This clarity of thought
needs to permeate the entire business and everyone needs to know their
contribution to achieving the business goals. Different organisations have
different challenges in developing and communicating their strategies. In some
instances the issue is that ideas are old and need to be refreshed and an
outside view can help as a critical friend. In other instance there is a lack of
engagement from all parts of the organisation and an external intervention can
help to focus the entire organisation on what is needed for the overall good.
Sales and
marketing performance improvement
Both new and established businesses can benefit from reviews of their business
propositions and how they are communicated to customers. We have expert
marketing consultants who can help with development projects such as new
product and market introductions, mystery shopping, pricing projects, digital
marketing and e-commerce, lead generation campaigns, and customer loyalty
programs. Our sales consultants can provide you with a full review of your sales
processes and can implement changes to boost efficiency and productivity.
Financial
performance improvement
While most businesses track their financial performance regularly, not enough of
them take a strategic view of their finances. As well as helping businesses
access various forms of finance at different stages of their development, we can
help them to structure their affairs to maximise their financial performance. We
can also help to turnaround businesses if cash becomes tight, and we can help
owners to plan an exit strategy to align with their personal goals.
Operations and
supply chain efficiency
Our operations consultants are experts on streamlining your supply chain. We can
improve operational efficiency, reduce waste in processes and materials and we
can improve purchasing to deliver bottom line results. We are change management
experts as well as deliverers of coalface improvements and we use this expertise
to ensure that our improvements last.
In addition to these four subject dimensions we offer the following service
delivery channels:
Interim Management
All of our consultants are experienced interim managers in their chosen
specialist fields, and most of them will carry out interim assignments. If you
have an urgent skills gap that you need to fill, them an interim manager can be
an ideal solution. You get an expert in place quickly so that you do not loose
any momentum, and you can recruit a permanent person without having to act in
haste.
Project Management
Most organisations need to run a major project alongside their main business at
some time or other. Finding the skilled resources to manage such a project can
be difficult and can dramatically increase the risk of failure. Project
methodologies are second nature to our business consultants and they are
adept at change management. For this reason we have worked on many project for
significant businesses and we have helped them to deliver them siccessfully.
