Management Consulting

Management consulting firms today provide very diverse services to organizations, from auditing to improving performance. By and large, these services provide in-depth analyses of the business to assess current capabilities and select the best strategies to achieve long-term expectations, address key challenges and identify investment requirements for the future. These firms are also excellent in providing specific recommendations and eventually drafting grand plans to achieve the operational and financial objectives. Maxipro Ltd had the opportunity to acquire most of the approaches and business models these firms apply. In fact, Maxipro has worked for companies such as the consulting arm of Cranfield University, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young in both operations strategy and business process re-engineering and Celerant Consulting in operations management, private equity and M&A. Moreover, in all these years Maxipro has been involved with the Big 4 and top tier management consultancy firms in due diligence, developing strategies, acquiring and/or selling businesses and related deployment plans.

Nevertheless, these firms tend to struggle when executing the proposed gran plans, mostly for 3 reasons:

  • The recommendations are often developed by professionals with great analytical skills, but limited experience in executing the proposed benefits, particularly dealing with the granularity, when often issues and limitations are hidden (the devil is in the details).
  • The recommendations are often achieved with limited involvement of buy-in from the stakeholders that are eventually accountable to execute the plans. Data is collected, but conclusions are not shared for open, constructive debates to reach a consensual solution.
  • Also because of the previous point, these firms tend to deploy an army of consultants to try to secure an implementation. The result is that the cost of implementation increases substantially, with the risk of disengaging the stakeholders further, which often are not sufficiently engaged and motivated.

Maxipro offers a better transition from the strategic plan, resulting from the work of these management consulting firm, to its execution. Accordingly, Maxipro’s best contribution is actually securing the execution, resulting in tangible operational and financial benefits leveraging its competitive advantages and Critical Success Factors by taking on a leading role where needed, blending organically into the organisation.
