We are in a constant battle to grow. This could be through deploying our products, developing new products, launching in new market segments and or re-aligning one’s organization. At Acuiti Advisory & Solutions, we have supported the following.
Digital Transformation for Competitiveness
The focus for digitization is on enhancing Customer Experience and streamlining Internal Service Delivery Processes.
With the new technological trends, how do we meet our customers at their physical, activity and conscious spaces. Our services have to align with what they are trying to accomplish, deal with the limitations, anxieties and expectations influencing their frame of mind.
Internally who are the key players needed in the delivery process, how can those roles be redistributed or redefined to make more effective, what are the controls, guides, incentives to help drive the right behavior and process and finally what part of the process can be designed into the system to ensure conformity.
Fund Raising
Access to funds can cripple a business activity by restricting the ability to get talent, run operations or acquire the assets. On the other hand, unprepared businesses do not maximize the raised funds and get encumbered by the huge financial burden as the added profits dont meet funding costs.
Expanding Business South of the Sahara
Growing in Africa requires an understanding of the unique customer value propositions compared to the markets you are used to operating. Frequently products are thrown into the marketplace based on perceived value from a different market which doesn’t align with pricing. We find ourselves with over-featured products struggling to meet a price expectation.
Procuring Fit-for-Purpose Technical Capability (Plants & Platforms)
Are you trying to identify what solution, equipment or platform that best delivers the capabilities of your organization or that of your clients? For example, Packaging or processing equipment for food agro beverage processing, tax solution for municipalities. This has to fit with the existing capacities, target markets, objectives and outlook for the business.
Sometimes we pay more attention to the technology and not the fit to business capacity and vision. Eventually leading to over investment, uncontrolled costs that impact negatively on cash-flow and business viability.
International Trade Facilitation
Trade is the life blood of economies providing a source of oxygen to propel its growth, interactions to spur innovation. However it could also bring a host of items detrimental to the public welfare. In facilitating trade we put a lot of consideration into speed of transaction, verification of quality/ price and transparency. All in order to avoid illicit trade that presents insecurity, sub-standard goods and fraud. With AfCFTA the potential from growth in the content presents an opportunity to be taken with the right strategy, network and customer focus.
