Strategic Business Services - Overview

Ready to transform your enterprise? We can help. We will guide you through all aspects of strategic management – from needs assessment, market analysis and strategic planning to organizational commitment, project implementation and management. Together, we’ll develop and execute a strategy using best business practices to energize and transform your organization.

We help companies answer the CPM question, “Given our customers, products, and markets, what should we do with our business?”

Here’s how:
  1. Customer and product profitability analyses
    Not all customers and products are equal – some contribute more to profit and cash flow than others.
  2. Marketing research, analysis, selection, and targeting
    Analyzing the right data and making correct decisions about market entry or exit – developing targeted, segmented, and niche strategies.
  3. Competitors analysis – strengths and weaknesses
    Create a sustainable competitive advantage by knowing what changes to make in products and services, pricing/advertising/promotional strategies, and sales distribution channels.
  4. Sales and channel management
    Choosing the right number of inside/outside sales/reps/dealers and their geographical deployment.
  5. Information technology
    Going beyond routine financial reporting to accurate product costing and margins to development of strategically valuable data, information, and knowledge.
  6. Innovation
    Products
    Moving beyond “me too” modifications and line extensions to truly new products and services.

    Processes
    Eliminating non-value-added activities ranging from sales/marketing, order entry, production and operations, and customer service to shipping.

    Technologies
    Adopting more effective and efficient tools, equipment and machinery in service and knowledge activities, as well as in production.

    Management practices
    Realigning activities associated with planning and analysis, implementation, and follow-up to improve decision-making and strengthen management team dynamics.
