Simplify Your Operating Model

The Opportunity

Today large companies need internal cohesion more than ever to keep costs low and agility high, but many are tied up in knots. Companies struggle with organizational silos or unconsolidated acquisitions.  A proliferation of initiatives saps organizational energy and can trap the company into status quo.

In our experience, Organizational and Process Complexity is one of the largest issues facing large corporations today.  Wilson Perumal & Company can help you identify the big opportunities and chart a path for unraveling the knot of organizational and process complexity that binds your company today. Below are a few examples of how we serve our clients.

The Complexity Diagnostic: Process & Organization

You think you have a “complexity problem” in your organization and processes but you cannot quantify it, nor do you know where to start. Read More

You struggle with organizational silos and a proliferation of internal initiatives. Your IT systems are disparate and lead to a lack of agility in responding to the market.   If this is your situation, then consider the Complexity Diagnostic, in which we partner with you to answer key questions:

  • Does my company have a complexity problem?
  • What is the impact of process and organizational complexity on our costs, service levels, and ability to get things done?
  • What is the right framework and approach for assessing and reducing complexity in our business?
  • How do we take out complexity to achieve scale benefits and build a platform for profitable growth?  How do we get started?

In the Complexity Diagnostic, we leverage unique methodologies within a hypotheses-driven approach to identify, clarify and quantify the Complexity Agenda for your organization

Align & Simplify your Operating Model

Your company seems to be pulling in different directions.  Your people, processes, assets and technology are working out of sync. If this is your situation, then it’s important to re-assert “true north” and refresh and simplify your Operating Model. Read More

  • What does it take to win in our market and what does that mean for our operating model design?
  • What are our core processes and how well do they position us to win?
  • How does our organization align to our processes?
  • What should we standardize and what should we not?

Simplifying your Operating Model is the best means by which a company can configure its people, processes, assets and technology to maximize customer-value-add while minimizing waste and cost.

Align your Sales Force on Organizational Goals

Product proliferation has crept into the business and created a gap between you and your customers.  Your sales force is stretched over too many products leading to self selection of product emphasis. Read more

Small orders are accepted without a true understanding of the incremental cost. If you struggle with these challenges, we can help you prioritize key market segments, identify the true cost to serve, and help answer questions such as:

  • Is the sales force properly aligned with customer and product profitability?
  • Are we incentivized to capture profitable revenue?
  • Does our pricing capture the true incremental costs of each new order?
  • Are our sales tools and processes adding value or limiting productivity?

Your sales force is a direct connection to your customers.  We will work with you to ensure prioritization of key segments, focus on profitable growth, and the right incentives to deliver.
