OUR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT METHODOLOGY

STAGE 1 | IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS

STAGE 2 | PRIORITISED ACTION PLAN

Addere Capital firstly performs an in-depth analysis and benchmarking of the company’s strategy; value creation initiatives; projects portfolio; top and bottom lines; and organizational, commercial, business and operational models.

Our objective is then to identify opportunities, levers, accelerators, “drags”, roadblocks and dependencies; agree clear objectives with management; and define and/or develop the optimal KPI set going forward.

STAGE 2 | PRIORITISED ACTION PLAN

Having identified the set of performance improvement opportunities and subsequent impacts, our specialists will develop a prioritised action plan (high, medium, low impacts) taking into account execution costs/benefits; implementation time, milestones and dependencies; and execution risks and mitigating factors for each initiative, while highlighting quick wins.

Additionally, we will propose the optimal Implementation Plan Governance Structure together with the ongoing set of metrics.

STAGE 3 | EXECUTION

STAGE 2 | PRIORITISED ACTION PLAN

STAGE 3 | EXECUTION

A successful execution relies on 3 key factors: rigorous and continuous control, monitoring and risk mitigation, while implementing a robust project governance to report progress vs. plan and the rapid escalation of any roadblocks and/or issues.

Our performance improvement specialists often assume PMO and/or interim management roles to assist our clients in the successful delivery of the agreed plan.

Exceeding our clients' and partners' expectations of true value creation. anything else is nonsense.

You have goals. We have solutions.
