When it comes to strategy and operations, your job is to take clear, decisive action and steer your business through a complex and changing environment.
Our job is to make sure you have the capability and capacity to make this happen.
The choices you make now can impact your business far into the future. Making wrong decisions is expensive and diverts attention away from growth and value delivery.
Our team has extensive experience supporting in areas such as:
Whatever your organisation structure or challenge, we can help you focus on the right actions.
You may be a senior stakeholder in the public sector or an executive in a private company. We consult collaboratively with our clients on strategy and operations issues to generate results at all levels.
From changing the whole business direction to driving performance improvement into a specific function or capability, we know how to deliver.
We understand how supporting you to identify opportunities to increase value and control costs will give you a competitive advantage.
From day one, we work collaboratively with you to quickly understand your business, its culture and challenges. Then we can start to effectively support you with strategy development and delivery. We don’t just talk; we roll our sleeves up and rise to every challenge.
Our goal is to ensure a crystal clear connection from strategy, through your business operations, to delivery. While always identifying and assembling the best team for the job.
We work in partnership with you throughout the whole process, adding experience, capability and bandwidth to your existing management team.
Our focus is on results: leaving you with the legacy of a stronger organisation.
When considering your business strategy and operations, you take into account a combination of multiple elements.
We have supported many businesses to clarify strategy in all the crucial areas:
Most businesses have a thorough annual planning process. Often this is time consuming, costly and becomes out of date very quickly. In many instances this process no longer meets the needs of a dynamic and continually changing business landscape.
We understand that your business needs to be agile and to pivot on an ongoing basis to accommodate these changes. You need to be able to regularly re-align your strategy and objectives.
We have a tried and tested process to review how your current business initiatives align to your ever evolving business strategy.
This will help you to understand both the individual and collective view of their priority and the potential business impact, feasibility and value.
Not all organisations manage, adapt and realign their agreed strategy throughout the year. This means they never have full visibility and understanding of their portfolio and the impact of these changes. And this makes informed and quality decisions in response to proposed changes very difficult.
Our strategic alignment process will ensure your whole organisation is working towards shaping the future, responding to change and adapting where required, without losing sight of your overall agreed plan.
Designing, initiating and delivering successful transformation activities against an appropriate governance framework is essential. This is how you ensure they are delivered on time and to budget whilst realising their stated benefits as and when expected. This can often mean striking the appropriate balance of formality and control whilst preserving the energy, drive and ambition of the project teams.
With extensive experience in running cross functional initiatives for a range of organisations, Hexagon can provide a critical eye and health check to ensure the programmes and projects are running as they should be. We will make recommendations and provide support for improvement.
Our work stems beyond conventional project management. We include focus to aspects that are sometimes overlooked, for example:
Whether you need us to provide insight and a better understanding of your portfolio and initiatives, or you’re looking for a specific skill and resource that you don’t have in-house – the Hexagon team will rise to the challenge.
Organisations are continually being asked to be agile and responsive to changing business conditions.
The concept of ‘business transformation’ refers to a change management strategy needed when business objectives change.
This can be driven from external factors; changes in legislation, competition & markets, the development of new technologies, the increase of costs or decreases in price affecting margin & profitability.
It can also be driven from internal factors within the organisation; changes in roles & functions, the introduction of new technologies, changes to processes and ways of working to do things better, faster and cheaper.
Hexagon has designed, supported and led both operational and strategic transformations for organisations in a wide range of industries.
We work with you to understand how your business currently operates so that we can develop a realistic plan to make your vision and business ambitions a reality.
Mergers and acquisitions are a business staple. Whether to support growth, diversification or expansion.
We have worked with businesses at all stages of the process, supporting:
