BUSINESS PROCESS REVIEWS

Most companies define their organizations in a hierarchical pyramid, putting their CEO at the top with all other positions shown by rank. However, when they attempt to view the process of serving their customers, a very different corporate structure emerges. This is the structure of their business process. We help companies better define their business process to match their business objectives. In doing so, we help clients:

  • Review their procedures from their customer’s perspective.

  • Develop policies and practices which grow from the need to serve the customer, not the organization.

  • Project when your venture will be profitable.

  • Track their business process from attracting an order to meeting the customer’s need. We assess how work flows from department to department. We identify breakdowns that impede the process; look for lapses in responsibility; and help eliminate redundancy of effort.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

A strategic plan is the key to business success. Yet many companies operate without one! We bring 25 years of professional planning experience for both manufacturing and service companies to the process. We’ll lead a disciplined program that:

  • Defines your customers

  • Identifies your customers’ needs and buying criteria

Mergers and Acquisition Support

ORGANIZATIONAL REDESIGN

Organizational design is a step-by-step methodology which identifies dysfunctional aspects of work flow, procedures, structures and systems, realigns them to fit current business realities/goals and then develops plans to implement the new changes. The process focuses on improving both the technical and people side of the business.

At Arrant Management the organizational design process is a comprehensive and holistic approach to organizational improvement that touches all aspects of organizational life. Your firm can achieve:

  • Excellent customer service

  • Increased profitability

  • Reduced operating costs

  • Improved efficiency and cycle time

  • A culture of committed and engaged employees

  • A clear strategy for managing and growing your business

A well-designed organization ensures that the form of the organization matches its purpose or strategy, meets the challenges posed by business realities and significantly increases the likelihood that the collective efforts of people will be successful.

C LEVEL INTERIM STAFFING

The C level roles varies by organization depending on company history, the characteristics of its industry, and the demands of senior management and financial stakeholders. Arrant Management does not force a standard C level model on our clients. Instead, we consult with each client and help them identify their current and ongoing C level needs. There is no “one-size-fits-all” job description but there are some general principles that illustrate the characteristics of a good C level resource and the value we can bring to our clients.

Your Arrant Management C Level Resource:

  • Is an organization leader and key member of senior management, providing insight and analysis to support the President/CEO and other senior managers

  • Is an effective functional leader, driving key initiatives that support overall strategic goals

  • Is professional and brings strategic qualities to the role and the organization

  • Balances the responsibilities of stewardship with those of business partnership
