Technology

Our society lives, works, and plays digitally. Around the clock, we rely on technology’s speed, efficiency and convenience. This exciting tech whirlwind continually builds, shifts and innovates.

But with exhilaration comes apprehension - about pace, corporate dynamics, government or industry regulations, and potential threats. All are valid hurdles - they’re also opportunities. Together, we can make technology happen for your business.

We can help through a variety of solutions:

Optimize the value from technology spend
Align information technology projects and IT organizational structure to business strategy
Align maintenance, security and support activities to operational needs
Access to independent experts who can provide an objective view of your IT issues

By combining deep business and industry insight with digital innovation, our diverse teams of creative, industry and technology professionals help accelerate the successful impact digital can have.

We’re independent. We are not a technology vendor selling a particular solution or trying to sell a pyramid of people to do implementation work.
We have a range of skills in People and Change, Finance, Risk, Operations, Strategy as well as Technology.
We can partner. If a client wants an adviser to partner with a technology vendor or systems integrator to make the implementation work, we can do so.
Additional technology expertise. We now offer a greater level of industry specific process and technology expertise through our strong Global Delivery Centers.

Strategy and Operations

The face of operations is changing rapidly, driven by global trends, shifting industry ecosystems, and ground breaking digital technologies. This ever evolving landscape presents new challenges and opportunities for operations to move beyond the role of cost-effective business enabler and become a source of competitive advantage.

Operations executives are being asked to change cost structures and increase productivity, and they must make those changes faster, safer, and in a more automated fashion to keep pace with competitors.

Our “manage to growth” strategy thinks through multiple cost implications across your organization and aligns your organization’s priorities to fuel performance in a focused, accelerated way. We help companies achieve strategic and operational excellence through sustainable improvements and more efficient processes that lower costs, increase cash flows and enhance customer satisfaction.

We can help through a variety of solutions:

Develop an efficient and sustainable business model that is responsive and competitive • Reduce operating costs and minimise waste to enhance profitability
Eliminate activities that do not add value to your business
Develop an effective supply chain that supports the efficient flow of goods from suppliers through to customers
Reduce costs and improve service through the use of shared service centers and outsourcing (including activities offshore)
Improve procurement processes, organizational redesign and working capital reduction
