Operating Strategy
Driving competitive advantage through improved operational and strategic excellence, coupled with digital transformation, to sustainably reduce cost and accelerate growth.
Having the right operating strategy is crucial for any business looking to optimize costs and gain competitive advantage. We work with clients to shape their strategic vision and translate this into operational and tangible actions. Whether these are localized in functional areas or large transformational engagements, we identify and implement reforms which deliver a step-change in operational performance and deliver sustainable cost reductions.
-
Internal cost reduction – our approach is not simply to slash costs; we leverage careful analysis and industry expertise, using a data-driven approach to deliver internal savings that ensure sustainable benefits for our clients’ businesses.
-
Target Operating Model – taking a top-down approach, we can build an operating model to optimize a business and deliver its strategy while creating a solid operational base and generating business cost reductions.
-
Supply chain design – we consider the overall strategy, processes, and organizational structure, as well as technology use and automation opportunities to create well-designed supply chains which lead to greater cost efficiencies, enhanced flexibility and increased resilience.
-
Operational excellence – by improving operational efficiencies and using a structured, integrated approach that aligns with an organization’s people and processes, our clients experience the benefits of reduced operational overheads, lower procurement costs and increased growth.
-
Performance management – our performance management solution combines process, people and technology utilizing data-driven insights to enable measurable, transformational decision-making across clients’ end-to-end processes.
-
Lean and process improvement – using a suite of recognized lean tools and techniques to target ‘waste’, we work with client teams to systematically remove elements their processes that do not add value, thereby streamlining processes and reducing operational costs.
- Digitalization – we focus on assessing, adopting and integrating digital transformation across four key areas of operational management: production, quality, maintenance and the supply chain to optimize productivity, modernize legacy processes and drive profitability.
-
Improved cost management – through initiatives such as deploying data-driven insights to leverage benefit from the supply base, removing low-value activities through the use of technology and implementing procedures and policies to drive performance while managing cost.
-
Enhanced operational performance – we help businesses transform operational performance through the articulation of a clear strategy and direction, development of clear operational structures, and by instilling and embedding the right behaviors and skills across the organization.
- Improved customer service – through digital transformation, optimum processes and operating models and a data-driven approach to performance management and cost reduction, we help clients create a higher quality and speed of service coupled with a sustained focus on customer value.
