‘different thinking & targeted action to increase profit & ROI’
Value Creation
A business is a value stream designed to produce a profit over time for business owners/shareholders and a workplace where staff can develop their skills, communication, and experience.
Profit and Return on Investment
Profit is for business owners and shareholders. Return on Investment is for all stakeholders including:
- Owners – greater profit and increased business resale value
- Shareholders – increased share value
- Clients– the perception of ‘value’ because of a positive experience as a customer
- Staff– continuous improvement skills, an outcome focus, achievement added to a CV
- Suppliers– confidence in ongoing demand, payment, and desire to retain your business
Cost Management Specialists work with clients and their staff to:
- make ‘the whole’ be greater than ‘the sum of the parts’
- create value with a multiplier effect to increase return on investment and profit
- enhancing the value stream by identify and managing:
- waste
- error
- variance
In creating a multiplier effect, Cost Management Specialists identify:
- revenue opportunities and how to realise them
- process improvement to efficiently match throughput to demand
- digital transformation opportunities to automate ineffective manual processes
Cost Management Specialists understand that improving financial performance requires change and support those responsible for managing the change to ‘make financial performance improvement happen’.
