We differentiate our consulting approach on four aspects, Looking problems
ab-initio (first hand), collaboratively creating implementable solutions,
engaging the stake holders in taking action and thereby, driving result. It
encompasses the following
• Pre study to asses opportunities/issues to be addressed & potential gains
• Creating innovative solutions using appropriate methodologies
• Collaborative Consulting
• Implementation of recommendations
Pre Study
We start our relationship by Conducting preliminary study of the business
operations of our client through background research, discussions with key
company employees and by making first hand observation & assessment to
understand as to :
What are the major opportunities & issues the business faces ?
What potentially deters the management from capitalizing on opportunities and /
or dealing effectively & efficiently with the issues affecting business
performance
If we assess that our association can add significant value to client’s business
and our services can help management overcome the impediments to profitable
growth, we formulate a proposal for consulting support with clear objectives,
scope and deliverables
Creating Innovative Solutions
We look at every new problem ab-initio, in its unique context. We never fall
victim to our repertoire of past knowledge or the prevalent “Management Fad”
when we get a new assignment in hand. Business environment undergoes constant
evolution and is affected by an array of parameters that are unique to an
organization. The constant evolution also means that the same problem in an
organization changes with time, simply because the context of the problem
changes with time. We do not offer off-the-shelf pre-canned standard solutions.
At the core of our creative problem solving methodology is a holistic approach –
that starts with understanding the context and environment of the problem,
before getting into its nitty-gritty of Management tools & techniques.
Use of Proprietary Methodology
Working with diverse clients & business problems and applying solutions
based on basic principles of Taylor’s Scientific management to latest of
Operational Excellence, Lean and Six Sigma, we have evolved a number of
proprietary methodologies, that are being copy righted. All our team members,
with multifaceted experience in various functions and Industries are well
trained to use these methodologies in addition to latest management problem
solving tools to do an in-depth and critical analysis of any business problems
and potential opportunities.
Participative & Collaborative Consulting
We involve the members of our Client’s organization in developing insights
and in evolving alternative solutions. We prompt, prod and provoke our clients
to generate solutions through the collective wisdom that combines the creativity
& objectivity of our consultants and the experience and specific domain
knowledge of our clients. After evaluating the alternatives for their efficacy
and ascertaining their techno-economic feasibility, we recommend the best
alternative to the Client. Through participative and collaborative process of
consulting, we create competence within client organization to handle similar
situations in future.
Implementation of Recommendations
The most creative solution is of no value, if the client cannot implement it. We
associate with most of our clients through retainership arrangement to help them
implement the consulting study findings & recommendations and achieve
anticipated benefits on a sustainable basis.
Providing implementation support is VCS’s commitment that distinguishes us from
the rest of our tribe in business world – the management Consultant.
Implementability of result oriented recommendations has endeared us to client
organisations, we have on more than one occasion, introduced us to other
organisations – our new clients. Almost two third of our team, most of the time,
is engaged in providing implementation support.
We at VCS use increasingly scientific and data / Gemba driven consulting
approach and assure to surpass your expectations in improving your performance
metrics. This could be certain increase in sales, plant output, or process yield
or a specified reduction in cost or failures. Our implementation support goes a
step beyond assurance or making a statement of good intentions and really
delivers improved results.
