Today's business environment requires a constant re-evaluation and adjustment of a company's business model and strategy. Sapience provides the tools and processes to define and execute your organizational strategy. We start by helping you improve your capability to anticipate future strategic changes as it relates to your organization as well as diagnosing for opportunities for improvement. Our "Strategy-Structure Alignment" process enables CEOs and line managers at all levels, whether at the company level, single division or group business, to quickly re-evaluate and align their structure to effectively execute on their strategies. Coordination across functions, businesses or geographies, especially in a matrix arrangement can be very difficult. We provide the processes and tools to make cross-unit coordination efficient and effective.

Organization

Strategy-Structure Alignment

Strategy-Structure Alignment is strategy driven and performance oriented. It begins with a reaffirmation (and sometimes recalibration) of business strategy, explores the implications of that strategy for organization, considers changing conditions in the environment, and through diagnosis identifies organizational problems and performance gaps. A preliminary transition plan of a preferred alternative and its alignment follow. What organizational strategy do you need to execute your business strategy? How can the organization itself (by virtue of its design and operating capability) be a source of advantage? Download a PDF brochure on this topic >

Linking Cross-Unit Processes to Coordination Needs

Getting the macro (vertical) organization right does not mean the cross-unit coordination processes will work effectively. In most cases it is the cross-unit structures and processes that have never been explicitly designed or developed that are driving problems—such as poor decision making, duplicative resources, accountability, and customer facing problems. Sapience provides an approach that designs the necessary mechanisms and processes to coordinate work so that the company can work as an integrated enterprise. This is about building a specific kind or organizational capability—the lateral or horizontal organization. Download a PDF brochure on this topic >

High Performance Work Systems

Each work unit should be designed for high performance if you want a high performance company. Mission focused, metrics driven, streamlined processes, and high commitment employees characterize the high performance work unit. It is typical to result in a 15-30% productivity improvement with HPWS. Sapience has over 20 years experience in HPWS design and implementation.

Business Process Optimization

The main reason you should consider starting an improvement process is to generate more profits and make your organization more competitive. Process optimization is a way to improve key work processes for faster cycle time, reduce expenses, establish documented and measurable processes, and enhance decision making for employees. Sapience provides a methodology for business process improvement in less than 30 days. Download a PDF brochure on this topic >

Culture as a Source of Advantage

There is no one 'right' culture but a strong and consistent culture which is well-aligned with the business strategy is a powerful force for successful execution. The reverse is, unfortunately, also true: the best strategy will only be as successful as the culture within which it is being implemented. Sapience has proven diagnostic and implementation tools to insure a high performance culture. Download a PDF brochure on this topic >
