Services

General Management Consulting

When business owners/managers wish to improve their business’ performance through organizational redesign (the process of changing the way people work together including “what needs to be done” to implement the chosen strategy and “who does what”). Included in this service is diagnostic work to find out if more can be done with existing resources and markets.

Performance Management Consulting

Performance management in business is about focusing everyone’s efforts on the same objectives. First, you need to define and share those objectives so that the team knows what is important and what they need to be focused on. When establishing and communicating the objective, getting every member of the team to participate is important to obtain collective efforts and achieve maximum results.

Whether it is OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), or some other chosen method of setting targets, we can assist from formulation through to implementation/adoption of the system.

Financial Management Consulting

Is your business struggling with preparing financial information on time or is the information provided not helping the management team run the business? If so, we can help to assess your business and help you define the required output from your finance team. If you do not have a finance team, we can assist in establishing one or aid you in deciding whether to outsource any aspect of the function that may make sense for your business.

Pre-Acquisition/Sale Preparation

When it’s time to sell your business or to determine if you could eventually sell your business, you will need to assess whether your business can be sold. This is a process of looking at how your business is run: finding customers, securing their business, recording and reporting, employees and turnover, management depth, repeatability of sales, intellectual property, etc. We can help with the assessment and recommend shortcuts to dressing up your business so that you can sell it for what it is worth.

If you are acquiring a business, we can assist in assessing a business’ areas of risk, the future potential of a business and present ideas on how to maximize value / performance after acquisition. If you report to others including a board of directors, we can generate reports and materials to help you in making your pitch for the acquisition.

Business Plan / Information Memorandums

If you are trying to obtain funding or attract investors to invest in your business, you will need a business plan or information memorandum. We can help. You will be provided with a complete, presentable and detailed document.

If you need assistance with connections to investors, we can refer you to industry sources that may turn out to be your next investment partner.

Supply Chain Management Consulting

From product development through to the delivery of the product, we assist businesses to improve their supply chain to lower costs, shorten lead times and throughput times, increase flexibility, improve quality and change supply locations. Like all of our consulting this service covers proposal through to implementation (system design, forms, training etc.).
