It is surprising how few companies are in the process of positioning themselves to not only survive, but to prosper in the current and forecasted economic climate of South Africa, and with the disruptive technologies that see the light of day all around us every day, and, it is here to stay!It is unthinkable that the management of companies can think that they can survive without:
- A proper strategic plan, spanning at least the three-year horizon; preferably the five- and 10-year horizons too.
- Enterprise architecture that supports the strategic plan, e.g., what kind of new technologies are required, and when, what information systems (and security systems) would be required, and when, organisational structural changes required, choice of locations, goals, etc.
- Carrying out an analysis of the company’s financial position (current and foreseeable), customer satisfaction, and their shifting needs, innovative capability, and training and development of staff to meet changing needs.
- Lean business processes (devoid of all forms of ‘waste’); major forms of waste are all forms of excessive conveyance, slow inventory movement, excessive motions, waiting time, overproduction, processing, and cost of poor quality. Note: The above is just as applicable in an office environment.
As can be seen in the sketch below, all the above falls within our skills set, which we excel at!
The value proposition that we wish to offer is to facilitate the ‘renewal’ / repositioning of your company, and all the support structures required to meet foreseeable demands. In addition, we offer to do an initial analysis of all your business processes, be it production, buying, conveyance, accounting, etc. (that is normally where the ‘bleeding’ in the short-term is taking place), and table a business case of savings to be made, in any one of your business processes, which we undertake to achieve, free of charge*.
However, should you wish for us to carry out only one, or part of the facets shown in the above sketch, it could be arranged.
