Cairneagle Consulting: Performance improvement

At Cairneagle, we don’t just help our clients make the most difficult business decisions; we help execute them. Our team has a world-class capability to work with your executive team to deliver measurable profit or balance sheet improvement. Whether that’s part of a long-term transformation of the business, or part of a more urgent performance improvement or turnaround imperative, we will work with you to deliver measurable and sustainable business improvement.

Revenue Growth
We work with clients to deliver revenue enhancement projects that typically comprise a set of direct actions boosting revenues in the short term, as well as initiatives of a longer term character. We will put a “SWAT-team” in place to help companies rapidly identify revenue potential as well as design and deliver an action plan alongside your executive team.

Operational Improvement
Our team has consistently delivered bottom-line and balance sheet performance improvements across all industries and on many continents.  Through a rapid diagnostic, we are able to identify the critical levers that will deliver a step-change improvement in performance. We have an impressive track record at following on to deliver results in conjunction with (or on behalf of) the executive team.

Whether the challenge is cost reduction, strategic sourcing, process improvement, IT portfolio management, or simply the identification and execution of an integrated operational improvement programme, our team has done it in many industries across the globe.

Turnaround
In turnaround situations, time and pace are the most critical factors of success given that the challenges are about getting results in months, not years – and that the client is most likely operating in a stressed state. At Cairneagle we will rapidly uncover the causes of poor results and put into place pragmatic actions that will quickly stem losses or drive up revenue, or impact cash or debt. We can work alongside your executive team or can, if required, take ownership of the plans in an interim capacity.

Restructuring
Companies – and entire industries – have to consider undertaking often painful restructuring to ensure they remain or become competitive. By restructuring we mean tackling the fundamentals of how the companies compete and deliver value to their shareholders. We work with our clients to build the case for transformation, design the transformation road map, de-risk the plan through careful management of stakeholders, and execute the plan alongside your senior team.

Organisational improvement and re-design
Underperformance often stems from a misalignment between organisation and corporate strategy.  The need may be to deliver a changed organisation structure. To us, organisation redesign stretches far beyond lines and boxes. It includes accountabilities, business processes, monitoring and performance culture, designed and implemented in a collaborative approach, always with the company strategy in focus. At its heart it involves a change in the behaviours of the organisation and the individuals that work in it.
