Capability Strategy

CUSTOMERS, COMPETITORS AND DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES CREATE PRESSURE TO EVOLVE

If you don’t want to end up like the dinosaurs, your existing capabilities need to evolve too.  But which capabilities and how do they need developing?  You need a capability strategy to unlock these opportunities.

Business Growth

ACCELERATE GROWTH IN REVENUE AND PROFIT

Winning new business should not be a game of chance.  Learn to win consistently.  We show you how.

Aftermarket Excellence

OPERATIONAL AND SERVICE EXCELLENCE FOR AFTERMARKET BUSINESSES

Lean and excellence are not just for manufacturing – we’ve been doing these in aftermarket businesses for almost 30 years!  Providing thousands of parts to customers demanding a more immediate, localised, personal service experience is challenging and requires solid integration of processes, platforms, people and partners across your end to end aftermarket support chain.

Aftermarket process mapping and analysis

PROCESSES

Time between releases of new engineered equipment is shortening and the variety of parts on file is increasing while customer service expectations are becoming more immediate, personalised and localised.  Aftermarket processes are now mission critical and must keep pace with the changes.
We map and analyse your value streams to identify non-value added activities, problems and gaps before working with you to fix, lean and re-engineer standardisation, simplification and specialisation into them.
The result is leaner, faster, agile, flexible and more cost-effective processes that deliver more value and integrate better with your systems, people and partners.
Aftermarket systems analysis

PLATFORMS

Aftermarket businesses rely on system platforms to cope with the huge variety of parts and volumes of data for planning, execution, reporting and analysis.
We review your system screens, functionality, workflow, reports, software, hardware, architecture, suppliers, commercial agreements, etc. to identify problems and requirements for development or replacement.  We work with your systems team and their suppliers to design, source, develop and implement appropriate solutions.
The result is a system platform that runs efficiently, matches your business processes, integrates with adjacent systems (yours and partners), is easy to use and that your users are proud of.
Aftermarket organisation and people skills analysis

PEOPLE

In an aftermarket service business, customers buy from people they like.  Unhappy and ineffective staff create unhappy customers, causing lower profits and unhappy shareholders.
We review your organisation, skills and capability of your people in conjunction with processes and systems (existing or planned) to identify role, responsibility, training and resourcing issues.  We work with you to reorganise, redefine, retrain and resource appropriately to better integrate with your processes, systems and partners.
The result is happier staff, better focused on customer’s needs, delivering a quality service experience that enhances your brand image and customer loyalty.
Aftermarket business partner analysis

PARTNERS

With all the new technology, globalisation and customer developments going on, it is impossible for an aftermarket business to be the best at everything these days.  Effective teaming with the right service partners is therefore essential.
We review the strategic, operational, commercial, cultural and personal dimensions of your partnering relationships to identify problems, root causes and improvements.  We then work with you and your partners in a variety of ways to fix, improve, recover (or replace in extreme cases) your relationships and outsource, in-house or acquire new capabilities.
The result is a more effective, end to end enterprise.

Enhance your customer’s experience, brand image and customer loyalty.  Learn to excel the aftermarket way.  Talk to us today.

Change Management

IMPLEMENT PROGRAMMES AND PROJECTS SUCCESSFULLY

After leading, managing, governing, reviewing and turning around programmes and projects for many years – we’ve seen it all!  Business change needs your respect.  Don’t just leave it to technical people or suppliers.  Change is your responsibility.

  • 70% of transformation (business change) programmes fail

    Business Change Programme

    According to a McKinsey survey in 2013
    70% of all transformation programmes fail

Increase your chances of success by:

  • Kicking off with a sound business case and blueprinted vision
  • Employing a business person (interim or permanent) to lead your transformation
  • Managing the business transition as well as the capability delivery
  • Managing project and programme changes effectively
  • Identifying and managing risk effectively
  • Involving all stakeholder groups appropriately
  • Being realistic about time, cost and quality!

We can lead and manage your transformation for you; provide external, independent advice and governance assurance or anything in-between.  We can review, fix and turnaround existing projects and programmes; re-invigorate ones that have lost momentum; take over the running on an interim basis or ensure you start out the right way.

Ensure your programmes and projects are a success.  Talk to us today.
