Strategy & Execution

 

The path to competitive advantage ultimately rests on strategy.

 

To compete, companies have to rethink their business models, identifying new opportunities for creating and capturing value. New technologies, converging markets and changing customer needs push players in all industries to compete in new ways.

 

We can help you create straightforward,  practical strategies that are easy to describe and implement, providing you the best chance of success.

Interim Management

 

If you have to manage a period of transition, crisis or change within an organisation, you can benefit from the short-term assignment of a proven heavyweight interim executive manager to help you deliver your results quickly and without disruption to your current operation.

 

Unencumbered by any previous involvement in your company, its processes or politics, we provide a fresh perspective and concentrate on what’s best for your business.

Change Management

 

Orthodoxies hide in every organisation, industry and market. When something has always been done the same way, it is worth asking if there is an alternative. Traditions often block potential innovation because people feel reluctant to abandon the tried-and-true.

 

However, when conditions change, so must traditions. A skilled external agent is often the right catalyst to uncover, challenge and facilitate changing hidden assumption and beliefs.

Contract Negotiation

 

You don't get what you deserve; you get what you negotiate. This is especially true in business situations where tradeoffs between commercial and contractual obligations must be balanced against the risk acceptable to the organisation.

 

External parties can provide real benefits when you don't have the experience or skills to effectively negotiate, or you need to maintain a relationship that could be damaged by a negotiaion where win-win is difficult to achieve.

Tenders & Proposals

 

Creating, assessing and responding to tenders and proposals can stress a business. The technical, contractual and management skills required may be in short supply, or focused on existing business.

 

Give yourself the best chance at getting what you need from the sales or buying process. Temporary experienced professionals from Novo Consulting can help by providing a cost effective service to manage you through the busy period.

Project Management

 

 It takes time and money to manage a project. Organisations often try and manage projects using part-time internal resources and don't reap the benefits promised from the project. 

 

A skilled project manager can lead a project team toward its objectives but remain flexible to changing risk and cost factors. They will get the most out of each worker and foster an environment of cooperation and mutual responsibility.

 

Experience counts. Novo can help you deliver your projects to successsful outcomes, no matter what they are.
