Methodology.
Each company has a unique history and culture, with its own customers, resources, vision and talent. There are no such things as standard solutions. The only universal methodology is about grasping the uniqueness of a business model and its fundamentals as defined by Key Performance Indicators. They drive revenues, margins, overheads, capex, brand equity, and in fine free cash flows. To conduct change requires closely connecting with all enabling business functions and displaying a genuine partnership attitude. This implies acting efficiently, being reactive, using a hands-on and problem-solving approach, while respecting the firm’s culture. A successful transformation always occurs in the spirit of commitment and trust.
