ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS & EFFICIENCY
People are what make a business, and an effective organizational and workforce strategy is essential to successful operational and financial outcomes. The art of management is to find the right balance between powering growth while at the same time pursuing efficient organizational structures and continuous efficiency improvement efforts. We combine deep industry and functional expertise, rooted within both line-management and consulting experience, with proprietary analytical tools and approaches to help senior executives effectively tackle organizational transformation efforts and achieve outsized results quickly.
Our services include:
- End-to-end organizational transformation: We help companies develop and execute broad transformational and structural actions, with unrelenting focus on enabling sustainable change, designing the right organization structure, and keep the organization's key talent engaged. We use proprietary analytical tools to gain a detailed understanding and accelerate the transformation journey in a very collaborative way with management.
- Workforce optimization and management: We help drive top-down and bottom-up tactical and structural changes for both employees and contingent staff. We implement savings assurance programs to ensure cost adherence and avoid cost leakage through unbudgeted backfills and contractor usage, hence preventing leakage and driving productivity growth.
- Outsourcing, offshoring, and nearshoring: We help companies select a resource strategy that is the right fit for them. Our approach provides a customized assessment of a company's operating model based on its industry, organizational structure, and processes.
- Shared services design and implementation: We help simplify and standardize processes to improve data accuracy and service delivery, create lean centers of excellence and, ultimately, give business unit leaders more time to focus on strategic growth initiatives.
- G&A and overhead cost optimization: We use end-to-end labor productivity tools to help companies drive operational transformation and performance. Leveraging a proprietary job family taxonomy tested at many global clients across industries, we have deep understanding of the appropriate reference operational and organizational performance metrics that help businesses determine what steps they need to take.
- Clean sheet or zero-based budgeting: We help companies define, visualize, and quantify what a clean sheet organizational solution and set-up looks like. Our approach to clean sheeting is focused on three groups of cost-optimization levers: demand/activity redefinition/reduction, step-change productivity increase, and detailed labor cost review and optimization.
