MA Value Add
- 1. Five Key Dimensions where MA can Add Value to Your Organisation " Organisations that understand the five key dimensions, as a framework, are well positioned to utilise MA Consultants in a strategic way."
- 2. We are not biased by existing relationships, ideas or preconceptions in extremely sensitive situations Whether change is driven by growth or contraction, your leadership team will face issues and challenges that stretch their resources Change brings conflicts between stakeholders with conflicting personal agendas, and presents an unnecessary distraction at a time when the organisation really needs precision and collaboration Our consultants are mandated to tackle problems objectively and thereby help the various senior stakeholders achieve the results they need for the business For example, in situations of major restructuring Our consultants will be able to dispassionately make tough decisions for the good of the company. 1 Objectivity In Sensitive Situations
- 3. Our Consultants are highly qualified and experienced, a large number of whom are former CEOs and MDs of blue chip companies, or former senior managers with at least ten years senior management experience For example, a former Marketing Director may choose to offer to take on business development job yet he/she is far more experienced than that, and therein lies the value. They've faced the challenges they commit to solving before, and they know the potential roadblocks and pitfalls they will face along the way Our consultants are generally more senior than the level required on their assignment. 2 Seniority
- 4. 3 Accountability Our consultants are not only just advising, they implement and sit within the organisation, they are highly accountable For example, if your organisation is undergoing a turn around project or a major change initiative, our consultants can scope and drive the projects through, rather than telling how they should be done and letting you get on with it Our consultants are “Only as good as their last assignment” so they have every motivation to consistently deliver results
- 5. 4 Immediacy and Flexibility Business challenges – and opportunities – very often won't wait A few days can be “make or break” At MA we can provide you with a consultant within 24 hours That flexibility may be an advantage when you are hiring a permanent employee and you need to wait for people to work out long notice periods before they join without committing to long notice periods or potential difficulties should there be a need to downsize at some point in the future Our consultants can strengthen your workforce in the short term
- 6. 5 Managing Crisis Situations When a challenging situation arises, people are often expected to drop everything even critical client appointments. But that often isn't practical In times of crises, MA Consulting can send an expert who's dealt with similar situations before and will therefore be able to provide expert guidance, allowing you to get on with your normal workload Many management teams throw themselves completely into crisis control, neglecting other critical initiatives in the meantime What they don't realise is that there may be an opportunity to have the problem taken out of their hands Of course they'll still need to be involved, but the comfort and clarity of having an expert assuming responsibility can certainly lessen the burden Our consultants deal with the crisis, your workforce concentrates on day to day tasks
