Strategy Definition and Business Plan.

A cleantech start-up wanted to transition from the technology demonstration phase to the industrial and commercial phases.

In a first step we have defined the strategy outlining the pathway from a pilot application to the industrial roll-out.

Then we have developed the business plan from market assessment to financial planning as a tool to attract investors.

Highlights: strategy workshop, scenario planning, market assessment, profitability analysis, competitive assessment.

Management Cockpit.

An SME accumulated a presence in several different businesses over the years. With continuing growth it became increasingly difficult to maintain the overview. The financial and contractual management was very time consuming and inefficient.

In the analysis phase we defined the core processes for financial and contractual management and defined the key roles for the future organization.

Then, together with our IT partner, we have chosen a suitable, cost-effective cloud solution, defined the data structure, designed the management reports and implemented the overall solution including migration of the data.

Highlights: In-depth analysis of situation, process design, data structure, management reporting, cloud solution.

Operational Excellence.

We have assisted a major utility in the restructuring of its procurement function.

The main objectives were: a) identify and realize savings and quick wins; b) define the new organization; c) initiate cultural change from purely quality driven to TCO based decision making.

As a result a total saving of 20 CHFm was realized.

Highlights: strategic sourcing, cost optimization, total cost of ownership analysis, rationalization of purchasing categories
