Strategy

is strategy a document written and filed away in the Managing Director’s office? Or is it merely pattern recognition? The objective of this exercise is to help the company or organization come up with a Strategy that fits it. We will go beyond the theory of Strategy (Porters 5 Forces Model, McKinseys 7-S model, etc.) to a more pragmatic, value-adding, game-changing approach to strategy formulation and implementation.  Here we look inward to identify opportunities for both organic and in-organic growth, with particular focus on optimization of existing possibilities and going beyond solutions that deliver incremental improvement, to creating radical, significant, value-adding initiatives. The output of this exercise will include tangibles like:

• Company, Environmental, Industrial and Economic evaluation document
• Key decision variables that will affect the company’s strategy
• A capacity building system, that will enable the company develop an adaptive execution style as it goes along.
• A well formulated, articulated and accepted strategy. A strategy that breathes life into the company’s operations

Operations

This is where Strategy gets translated into results, through the tactical and operational plans. Here, we seek to ensure the alignment of Strategy to Tactics and then to Operations. We will bring our Six Sigma and Project Management competencies to help our customers. Here the following will be the outcome of our efforts:

• A Six Sigma operation.
• A ruthlessly efficient Execution and Project Management discipline
• A robust Knowledge Management system
• A branded customer experience

Crisis management

For the companies and organization that we work with, we do our best to minimize surprises. However, should a company or organization find itself in crises, we provide a service that seek to steady the ship. Here, we seek to minimize the impact of the disruptive event, provide a counter measure, take learning from the event and use such learnings to further fortify the organizations into the future. Our deliverables on this effort will include:

• A robust, well-articulated Business Continuity and Disaster Management Plan
• A re-invigorated organization, ready to rise from the pains of the disruption and take on new, bigger challenges.

Human Capital Management

Machines, Technology, Strategy and all the fancy things that modern management bring into the business world do not produce anything by themselves. Human beings are required AT ALL TIMES to make things happen. This is true, irrespective of whether the company is fully automated or fully manual.
However, managing the Human element of any set-up is the most challenging part of any company or organization. It is an ever changing situation. As Jack Welch said, “managing people is the real work that managers are paid to do”, Companies that will get ahead need to deal with this very actively. 
So, what do we bring to the table?

• A fully functional, optimal and value-chain driven organizational structure
• A well-defined, and clearly articulated individual job profile
• A well communicated, understood and accepted Employee Management Philosophy
• A non-bureaucratic, meritocratic, Employee Performance Management System (EPMS)
• An Employee Performance Management System (EPMS) that links properly and clearly to the corporate Strategy
• A robust, non-cumbersome Feedback, Reward and Recognition System
