Management Consulting

Business Process Management (Design, Optimisation & Reengineering)

Our business process modelling approach is designed to provide the management team with an independent and objective assessment of the effectiveness of the systems, operational and people policies instituted within a Company’s operational framework. The scope will primarily be specifically planned and designed to focus on key risk areas, taking into consideration the risk drivers relevant to the entity by considering the aspect of operations being reviewed.

Process designs, reviews or optimisations will seek to produce a revised organisational structure, effective systems and controls to drive the operational and financial activities of the organisation. The focus will be to produce structures, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and associated flow diagrams that will ensure operational efficiency and be replicable to ensure business continuity and the safety of the Company’s assets while preventing misappropriation of resources in all constituents of operations.

Strategy Review/Roadmap Design

A strategy roadmap helps you visualise the strategy for achieving your vision. It is a powerful tool for communicating the desired destination of the Company, rallying the entire team around the “why” behind the work, and guiding priorities. At Kreston Pedabo, we work to identify the strategic intent, priorities and alternatives that a Company can best execute to actualise its business goals over a set horizon. Then we build you a roadmap of how to get there; sometimes, our clients keep us on the execution journey.

Operations/Interim Management

Typically, when organisations are experiencing a transition in ownership or management, there is sometimes a need to bring in fresh independent and expert eyes to take the rein of affairs over a predefined period so as to bring the organistion to a state of stability. Operations management offers this administration of business structure, practices, and processes to achieve stability, business turnaround, or enhance efficiency whilst working to maximise profit. At Kreston Pedabo, we offer this management of functions that a business needs to run effectively day-to-day, including overseeing multiple departments to meet predefined goals, and will typically close out with the recruitment of the more permanent management team.

People Strategy, HR Operating Model

At Kreston Pedabo, we build effective HR operating models which help deliver effective services and value proposition to varoius Companies in an efficient manner. Within a review of an organisation’s HR operating model, we would typically recommend a Skills Gap and competency assessment to measure the performance of its systems and teams. We will measure and document personnel competency on their roles as well as assess the need for the roles themselves; our goal is to identify the root cause of issues with employee performance and to correct these issues before they affect organisational performance.

Loan Staff Provision (Outsourcing)

Commercial Due Diligence

The absence of an effective process can cause the failure of a merger action, result in the failure of the completed merger, and or render an investment null and void, therefore, at Kreston Pedabo, we take a step-by-step approach in determining the overall value that can be generated from a merger & acquisition or an investment in another company.
