Top performing companies understand that their value chain and underlying core business model provide a critical source of competitive advantage. Experience shows that companies with the best-performing value chains rank ahead of their competition on key financial metrics. These companies ensure that their value chains fully support not just their overall business strategies, but also well-defined global market strategies.

While value chain and business model optimisation help companies gain their competitive footing, there are multifaceted operational and organizational implications that are wide in scope. For many companies, the complexity is compounded by business operations and value chains that are spread or rapidly expanding throughout the world. Solutions must be business-driven, holistic, forward-looking, develop a solid foundation for sustainable growth, and flexible to adapt to frequently changing global regulations, economic and business factors.

Depending on how ambitious a client wants to be, we apply a variety of methods to work out what part of the prior business process need adjustment. Sometimes just shifting a small lever or introducing a well-placed innovation is all it takes to get ahead with an existing business model. Or it may be necessary to look at the whole business model and optimize margins at several levels simultaneously. Once an optimized business model is defined, we work with management to develop programmes for successful implementation within the organisation.

Sometimes we start by assessing and carrying out a detailed analysis of your current Business Model, bench marking with peers and competitors in the industry. We then move on to ascertain areas of greatest impact to financial outflow and income, and work with you to prioritize the Optimisation work. Most organisations often start with their value chains before moving on to other components.
