Consultants associated with Carevolution.

Which services to assist your organisation?

Strategic management; leading the strategy creation process.

Change management; clarifying the need to change, exploring the most appropriate change intervention and guiding the change process.

Growth and continuity management; identifying the distinctive capabilities and growth chances; continuity of the organisation requires healthy growth.

Reputation management; the key distinctive capability of an organisation, is a board concern, not merely a corporate communication effort.

M&A consultancy and valuation; source and research potential M&A targets or acquirers in line with the client's strategy. Next meet, analyse, value and negotiate and manage the M&A process. Post M&A services, could be rendered as well.

Cut the red tape; organisations suffer from bureaucracy or become a bureaucracy; cutting the red tape is immediately profitable for all stakeholders.

Serving the customer or client; your most important stakeholder with specific needs, wants and desires. A key and joint concern for Marketing and Sales.

Entrepreneurial spirit; not only in management layers, but throughout your organisation. Give people responsibility and they will create added value and work together to enhance vertical and horizontal synergies.

How we provide added value?

Management cannot do the assignment sufficiently or doesn't know how to do it or doesn't want to do it. Ask yourself the question; what happens and when, if we do not seek outside help from consultants?
Do you know what to achieve, how and when?
If you would be looking for a consultant, what will he need to bring to your table? Confirmation, confrontation, new knowledge, different views of your corporate world at large, weirdness, antidote, inspiration or compensation (of inadequate staff/management)?

When to invite us?

Good ideas attract resources and these lead to corporate success [match between distinctive capabilities and the external environment]. It starts with sourcing attractive or fitting ideas about your business, industries and markets. Has your organisation lost the fit and flexibility between your company's characteristics and the environment? Is the economic rent (what the company earns over and above the cost of capital employed) decreasing? If there is a discrepancy between what is actually happening (or will be happening) and what should be happening? If management is going around in the same circle (treadmill), being busy all the time, but not achieving anything, except for spinning the wheel and losing weight (money)?

Why hire us?

Carevolution is about business improvements and results, not fees or prestige. If you want results and values, we should talk. Here's what we offer:

My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions. [Peter F. Drucker]
