How We Help, a Deeper Dive
It’s hard to lift your views from short- and medium-term tasks to a strategic perspective. It can also be challenging to find resources with time and competence to closely analyse your business. Let us help.
We can propose actions to develop your business further. These are both bases on the insights and what we see as best practices. The scope might also involve M&A activities, integration work and change management projects.
With +35 years of experience in both day-to-day operations and long-term strategic work, we aim to bring knowledge from a wide range of missions. By adding it to your own knowledge, the chances are good that we have a winning combination.
We held operative and advisory roles in companies, ranging from small local operations to global leaders. Let us see if we can help you too. We only take on assignments where we are certain we can deliver, and we therefore have nothing but 100 % satisfied customers.
Insights
We love gathering and analysing information, whether it’s existing data or collected by us. We can conduct interviews, gather statistical data, or carry out market and competitor benchmarking. Additionally, we may use data from systems like ERP or CRM to identify trends and patterns.
We also offer strategic input using tools like SWOT analysis, Ansoff Matrix, and Effect Matrix exercises. You can rely on our data, your own, or a combination of both. Either way, these insights are essential before we can recommend development actions.
Business Development
Based on the insights, we propose development actions that can range from fine-tuning to major strategic shifts. We have a proven track record of successfully driving business growth in various ways. While revenue and profit growth are always central, we’ve also taken on specific missions to improve organisation, processes, product development, enhance quality, reduce commercial risks, and boost customer satisfaction.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions often require thorough business due diligence before any decisions are made, and this is where we can help. We analyse the sales/market aspects of a potential acquisition in detail, identifying overlaps and synergies. This can include interviewing customers, strategic partners, and verifying market conditions. With an objective, external perspective, we can more easily assess what opportunities are viable, what may face challenges, and where potential risks lie.
Change and Project Management
Introducing changes that are respected and sustainable is no easy task. There are countless books on the subject, and one of our favourites is “The 8 Steps for Leading Change” by Dr. Kotter.
We’ve led and experienced several major change projects, learning valuable lessons along the way. Our approach combines these real-world insights with best practices like Kotter’s framework to help guide you through the process. It’s always tempting to present a change without doing the hard work to make it stick. But no matter how great the change, it is likely to not succeed without proper follow-through. Let’s discuss how we can help make it work.
We also offer specialized project management for initiatives that fall outside your day-to-day operations. We’ve led projects ranging from quality improvement task forces and ISO 9001/14001 certification to product development and IT tool evaluation and implementation. Many of these also have a certain flavour of change management.
