Consulting

The aim of a development strategy is to focus company’s efforts on the management board’s vision. A vision is the desired image of the company in the future. Developing a strategy requires an individual approach to each company and several stages:

Business plan / feasibility study: the objective is to analyse the opportunities and threats that an organisation has to face. A well-prepared business plan is used to manage the company, its investments and development.

Company valuation: The aim of valuation is to determine the real value of a company, which reflects the value of assets and the company in the form of a business model. The value of a company depends on its ability to generate revenue, not only on the value of its assets. We use three methods when making a valuation:

• Accounting method.
• Discounted cash flow method.
• Comparative method (for companies valued in the past, from the same industry)
• Mixed models.

Business process mapping, which aims to:

• Analyse individual work positions.
• Map interactions between departments and work positions.
• Design functional and organisational dependencies between work positions.
• Each process within the company affects the quality, cost and implementation time of what it offers. Specification of critical processes affecting a business’s competitiveness. Specification of decision-making processes.
• Creating standards of implementation of the most important processes affecting competitiveness.
• Designing new, as yet unformed processes that influence effectiveness of strategic development, improve relationships with customers and increase involvement of suppliers in the company’s
• Define productivity measures.

Finally, the work done can be used to:

• Implement an IT system, for example enterprise resource planning (ERP)
• Implement a quality management system, for example ISSO
• Increase efficiency and build competitive advantage.
