Who We Are

We believe that in today’s world of rapid change and global competition, many companies can, and must, improve their performance. The key to this improved performance lies in attaining more relevant management information to drive informed decision-making.

Our firm specializes in assisting clients to design & implement effective Business Management processes for performance planning, measurement & improvement. Tools we use to provide companies with the critical information required for improved performance include Value Management, Activity Based Costing, Process Improvement, Supply Chain Management and Organization Design; along with the Information Technology required to make it happen.

With these tools our clients identify their Value-Creating and Value-Destroying products, customers, processes and market segments; adjusting plans and policies in order to maximize shareholder value. Operational process improvement opportunities are also identified, prioritized and implemented. Goals, measures and incentives are aligned with strategic objectives. A typical client realizes annual profit improvement equivalent to several times their initial investment.

Our senior people each have invested over 10 years developing methods to effectively implement and integrate these tools for clients in diverse industries. Along with a successful track record in consulting, each also brings broad cross-functional management experience with leading companies including Northern Telecom, Xerox, Volkswagen and Johnson & Johnson. This combination of concept knowledge and broad business experience gives us the unique ability to understand and assist with your business issues.

These senior people all work actively with our clients.

Our preferred approach is to work closely with our clients through facilitated project teams, rather than offer turnkey solutions. In this way, our concept & implementation knowledge is combined with our client’s insight to their own business in order to deliver effective & sustainable solutions.

Based in Toronto, Canada, we work with clients throughout North America & Europe. Current major clients include TD Canada Trust, Hewlett-Packard Europe and Magna International.
