Strategy Framework Diagnosis
We at Neanics guide firms to long-term success with adaptable strategic planning. Comprehensive and useful.
Strategizing is vital to survive in the long term. All founders, owners, and executives do that, formally or not. As the business grows and gets more complex, and the operational burden consumes the primary efforts, strategy tends to become sidelines.
​
The importance of strategy is to envision the future of the business, design scenarios based on the macro and micro environment in which the company operates, and prepare plans to deal with the scenarios. By planning, the firm knows its resources, capabilities, and leadership better and becomes more agile to deal with changes.
​
The strategic plan acts like a guide, not a blueprint, and is dynamically adjusted as time passes.
​
Besides the tax planning studies, a comprehensive plan should usually contain a marketing and sales plan, a products and services plan, an operational plan, and a financial and HR plan. The structure and complexity vary by the size of the firm, the ownership and leadership structure, and the nature of the business.
Neanics helps the firm develop, design, review, and implement a strategic planning framework.
Strategic Management Due Diligence
We show the firm's processes, activities, performance indicators, and leadership dynamics from a new perspective
The strategic plan serves as a roadmap for the company and adapts continuously to new navigation conditions.
​
To adapt, a firm must have strong capabilities, i.e., pro-active leadership, lean processes, clear goals, and a culture of cross-functional cooperation.
​
Neanics works alongside the executive, managers, and operational teams to define, map, and review the current processes or design new ones, break them down into main routines, and bring the best practices to the table.
​
The result is a deep knowledge of the activities developed in the firm by the managers and teams, their interactions across the company, the responsible parties, and the performance indicators that measure the efficacy and efficiency of the processes.
​
As a management due diligence, Neanics approaches the current structure, identifying and mapping the main processes and routines, the KPIs in place, and the leadership structure and dynamics currently managing the organization. The deliverables are the process map, a leadership dynamics diagnosis, the performance framework map, and improvement suggestions.
Turnaround projects
We help firms overcome unexpected moments in their lifecycle. Things happen, and no firm grows without a crisis. The ones that adapt and transform, win and survive in the long run.
The speed of change is increasing, and although some companies are successful and experienced, sometimes the crisis hits, and they must take non-orthodox measures quickly.
One of the main mistakes is trying to fix short-term emergencies and ignore the causes of the problems and the lasting solutions. With an emphasis on short-term emergencies, it is easy to lose sight of the future and make wrong decisions or tackle wrong processes and causes.
With express strategic management due diligence, Neanics can help the customers understand the bottlenecks of the firm and its pain points, develop a shock therapy to patch emergencies, and, at the same time, implement an improvement methodology to work on the causes and medium-term solutions.
The mapping provides a comprehensive picture of the processes, leadership dynamics, and performance framework making it easy to know what to change.
Additionally, the project can include a review of the business's strategy to assess if the overall cause is macro, like market changes, behavior changes, technology impact, regulatory shifts, or other potential impacts.
M&A is known to destroy the value of the combined firm in the long term. There are numerous cases of success and numerous cases of failure in M&A.
Post-transaction integration is the most critical phase of the M&A process when cultural clashes occur, leadership disputes arise, and different practices in different processes are shocked.
For different reasons, owners decide to sell, name them succession, tiredness, solitude of power, financial stability desire. One way or another, Neanics works hand in hand with the owner and management team to streamline the business and make it more professional and less dependent on the owner so that the value of the firm is maximized and future integration is less complex.
In the case of private investments, i.e., a private firm that acquires another firm to sell in the future, Neanics works in partnership with the private investment entity, as a board advisor or with a consulting project to help achieve the investment goals until the exit process.
Process (Workflow) Mapping and Redesign
Effectiveness and Efficiency
Breadth and Depth
Companies have routines, more or less structured, depending on the type of business.
​
Usually, those routines are managed vertically by departments, that sometimes become silos and create an opaque barrier within the company.
​
At the same time, all routines have a purpose and internal customers and suppliers.
​
​Mapping the routines into processes allows a better understanding of what adds value to the firm's customers and how different departments interact, breaking the opaque barrier and promoting a smooth and productive business.
​
Leadership is critical to make it happen since they must think out of their silos and promote the cross-functional work of their teams, within their internal suppliers and customers.
​
With the processes defined and mapped, aligning their strategic goals and KPIs (key performance indexes) to the firms' strategy is possible and necessary. Hence, all resources and efforts become aligned to a higher purpose.
​
Neanics works with the client leadership and operational teams to identify, map, design from scratch, or redesign the processes. Neanics helps define the strategic goals and KPIs and mainly supports the leadership to make them happen.
Performance Management
Align the efforts and resources to te strategy.
Lead and perform using strategic goals and KPIs.
Are the KPIs (let performance indicators) and strategic objectives aligned with the strategy?
Do they help align the processes and resources to the real needs of the firm? How many are meaningful and serve a true purpose?
​
Neanics can help your firm define the KPIs, to monitor the processes' performance, and align the resources and efforts to the company’s strategy.
Neanics organizes the goals and KPIs under five perspectives: market, financial, operational, innovation, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) so that they serve the purpose of measuring the efficacy (strategic alignment) and efficiency (performance) of the processes.
Leadership Dynamics
Leadership is the most crucial factor of success in any firm.
Streamline the leadership by assessing the leadership dynamics.
​
Any strategy or management structure will succumb to poor leadership. Leadership must be the mainstream transformative force in the firm.
Companies start and grow with people, and the activities, priorities, and structures are ever-changing. As leadership at all levels is the primary driver of success, it is essential to have a suitable, lean, agile structure that promotes the integration of the processes and the strategic alignment within the organization.
By mapping the processes and understanding the leadership role within the firm, Neanics works to streamline the leadership structure and establish a management process to measure performance, leading to continuous improvement and development of knowledge within the teams.
Neanics helps the firm lead to performance and continual transformation.
