How

Delivered and presented to C-level leadership a comprehensive audit, assessment, recommendations report and suggested strategic plan.

This required the team to look both inwardly at how the company functioned and innovated and outwardly by casting a wider net to examine how it was positioned in the market compared to the competitive landscape.

Internally, a comprehensive companywide review and evaluation of all major business processes, staff, and supporting tools and technology were completed. This included site visits to critical facilities to observe processes in real time and meet the supporting staff.

Outwardly, the team completed a Porter's Five Forces Analysis, developed a Strategy Canvas, and created a Four Actions Framework. These elements were essential to fully align the assessment and recommendations with actions that could deliver high customer value while lowering costs and investments in attributes that simply are not valued.
