Organisation - Value creation - Change
|
|
We work with clients to implement strategies that create value, now and in the future.
|
|
We develop and share knowledge about how to organise and manage for value.
|
Are you:
|
|
A director or senior manager who is aiming
to grow your business and ensure your organisation can
make the most of business opportunities in the future,
as well as today? If so, are you facing any of these
situations?
|
|
|
Your organisation is not market-focused or responsive
enough to cope with the rate of change in the business
environment
|
|
|
A new strategy requires an organisational capability
for innovation that will provide new sources of growth
|
|
|
You want to change the way managers understand what good
performance means, organisationally or individually
|
|
|
A HR director who is looking to make a
step-change in the value that the organisation and its
people contribute to your business? If so, are you
facing any of these situations?
|
|
|
The management team does not have a shared view of
the organisational or management capabilities required
for the future or how to develop them
|
|
|
You want to support the implementation of a VBM strategy
throughout the organisation and to access the experience
and support of others
|
|
|
An investor who is seeking impressive
financial performance from your investments over a three
to five year period, or longer? If so, are you facing any
of these situations?
|
|
|
The way you assess management teams does not seem to be
predictive of their performance in developing the business
that they run
|
|
|
A business you have invested in is not growing or
performing and you want to intervene in the most
effective way
|
|
Do you want to develop your organisation and people for the future?
|
|
Value Partnership works with clients to tackle these kinds of challenges:
|
|
|
Achieving organisational re-design and change
|
|
|
Integrating a new acquisition
|
|
|
Developing the capability and functioning of the senior team
|
|
|
Finding new ways of planning and managing business development
|
|
|
Designing processes for recruiting and developing the people who are key to your organisation’s future
|
|
|
Introducing new methods for comparing and assessing the performance of your organisation and its people such as value-based management
|
|
|
Providing contacts and networks with others who are leading change
|
|
Our capability is developing your capability
|
|
Our great strength lies in our understanding of organisations, how they change and how to influence their future performance. These capabilities are at the heart of implementing value-creating strategy.
|
|
Experience tells us that:
|
|
|
Value is only created when there is a wider sense of purpose – you do not create value by focusing on value performance alone
|
|
|
The key to future value creation is a strategy and organisation that sustains a capacity for innovation and change
|
|
|
Every Company needs to find it’s own path to value performance that reflects their markets, strategy and organisation – there is no ‘right way’
|
|
|
Implementing a new strategy requires attention to more than just good analysis and planning - it requires attention to interests, communications and capabilities
|
|
|
These principles underpin both what we do and the way we work with people. We establish a 'developmental partnership' with our clients. This kind of relationship enables clients to learn and enables us to share our knowledge when it is appropriate and helpful. Our partner role can apply to many aspects of how the business works but we always look at situations from a general manager's perspective.
|
|
The process we work through with a client depends on the situation. It may include:
|
|
|
Contracting to establish clear success criteria and the basis for partnership
|
|
|
A process of joint discovery, where knowledge and experience is brought to bear on the current situation and a diagnosis is completed
|
|
|
Widening of involvement in the work and a creative search for the way forward, both a 'model' solution and an effective change process
|
|
|
Experiments that allow the solution to be tested out in the 'real world' and an evaluation of the business impact and risks
|
|
|
Widening of the process across the business to involve many more people and to achieve maximum benefits
|
|
|
Constant review and evaluation, coupled with coaching and support for leaders of change
|
|
|
You will benefit from:
|
|
|
The value created through our work together
|
|
|
The substantial knowledge and experience our consultants have in a variety of fields and sectors, and our track record in developing organisational performance
|
|
|
The way we focus our experience where you most need our help and leverage the existing capabilities within your organisation
|
|
|
The fact that you are not faced with huge consultancy costs in relation to the substantial contribution we make
|
|
We develop and share knowledge about how to organise and manage for value
|
|
To provide ‘best value’, both our consultants and clients need to be up-to-date in their understanding and experience of value-based management, and to use it in their work. Managing for value is still a relatively new focus for management. Knowledge about what works, why and how, is developing rapidly in many quarters, and on many fronts. We provide a focal point to which senior managers and consultants can turn for easy access to this knowledge.

The VPL web site is a virtual resource centre for access to expertise on managing for value and for the long-term. It contains diagnostics, surveys, stories, news and comment, models, reviews, articles and extensive contacts, and links to others’ web sites. The content and links are available to all those who visit the site. The site is open to directors, managers, consultants, academics and others who have responsibility for managing for value, and for developing or implementing value-based management. People have opportunities to meet, both in real time and virtually, to clarify issues, and to share knowledge about how these issues might be addressed. The network provides access to the leadership that comes from a community of common interest, with a distributed body of developing knowledge.
