PIT STOP - Quick economical and effective checkup
A stop at the box to continue the race at full pace: let's start with the business management checkup
PIT STOP is a quick diagnostic test on management control, which analyzes the operational income statement, the annual budget and the reporting system as well as the respective operating procedures, with the aim of finding possible areas for improvement. This analysis allows Kenning Consulting to provide a practical example for an effective management control setting, because every comparison is useful for improving.
BALANCE SCORE CARDS AND DASHBOARDS
Creation of Balance Score Cards (BSC) and dashboards for business management
Each company has a better chance of achieving management objectives if it breaks them down into small objectives entrusted to individual collaborators and provides them with the appropriate tools to verify the results achieved progressively. Balance Score Cards have a holistic management approach, therefore they are an effective tool for measuring company results and allow us to understand if management is proceeding in the correct direction towards the objectives and in which areas it is necessary to take action to improve.
SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMISATION
Selecting the best suppliers to increase business competitiveness.
Most of the costs of the company go to suppliers for the purchase of goods and services used in the transformation processes to realize finished products or services for customers. Optimizing the supply chain means selecting suppliers to give greater weight to those that generate value for the company and reduce the number of those who absorb resources without providing extra contribution besides the product or service supplied. This project aims to make more efficient the business transformation chain and to increase the competitiveness of the company.
CORPORATE BUSINESS PLAN DEVELOPMENT
Strategic planning guides the company in the use of resources in specific activities and thanks to the path outlined it increases the chances of achieving management objectives.
Each company has its unique features, but generally those that achieve lasting and balanced growth over time share two typical traits of the corporate culture: a strong marketing focus on the development of customer relationships, and a dynamic business vision. Kenning Consulting's planning and management control project focuses on the second one to make it produce its extraordinary driving force on business management.
ERP MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The corporate ICT system governs all operational and transformation processes
The ERP management system governs all operational and business transformation processes and promotes the growth of know how and information assets over time. For these reasons, the ERP system is a strategic resource for the development and continuity of business activity and as such must be constantly adapted to operational needs. The ERP system plays the central role of the entire company information system and as such must:
- perfectly satisfy the present operational and transformation needs;
- encourage efficient business development over time;
- have low running and maintenance costs.
LEGAL SERVICE ORGANISATION
The in-house legal service organisation project
Generally speaking, SMEs do not have an in-house legal service, and only call upon legal counsel if they have to. This attitude was fine in the past when a handshake was worth more than a contract. Today it is better to think differently. The various economic phases of the last fifteen years have produced major transformations in all production sectors. In order to stay in the market, all companies must work through the value chain and concentrate on those activities with the highest added value. However, outsourcing other activities to specialised suppliers is not possible without adequate legal support. An in-house legal service organisation project is a small investment for many SMEs that still lack it. It is necessary to run the business well.
