A Management Audit is an analysis
and evaluation of the performance of the company, in
relation to a set of predetermined standards. Unlike
a financial audit, which focuses on an independent review
of a company’s financial statements, a Management
Audit provides a complete diagnostic on a company.
These audits when conducted periodically,
uncover potential problems before they become a reality,
thus preventing the situation from getting out of control.
During a Management Audit we cover all the major business
areas:
- Business environmental factors (internal/external)
- Business strategies
- Finance
- Information systems
- Purchasing
- Sales and marketing
- Inventory control
- Human resources
- Management systems and practices
- Overall performance

Continuing from the findings of the
Management Audit, a Corporate Restructuring of the entire
organization or specific corporate functions would need
to be undertaken to correct the situation before it
becomes critical.
In some cases, due to internal
and/or external factors, it becomes essential to reorganize
the business to continue to survive.
Reorganization or re-engineering is
a difficult and intensive exercise that requires careful
planning, leadership and thoughtful implementation.
Reorganization is the phase when plans
and words are turned into action. When business processes
are changed and/or improved radically to make an organization
better managed and more competitive.
Our consultants work side by side with
the business owners and senior management on an intensive
basis to implement the required changes and ensure that
the objectives of the reorganization are implemented
successfully.

The purpose of Corporate Planning
is to define a direction for the long-term future of
the company as a whole. A clear vision of the future
is essential to succeeding in today's cutthroat environment.
Planning ahead gives focus to the
company's goals and objectives.
The advantages of planning can be summed
up as follows:
- – Clarifying a company’s objectives.
- – Taking a systematic look at the future.
- – Identifying strengths and weaknesses,
threats and opportunities.
- – Providing a strategic framework within
which more detailed action plans can be formulated.
We can help by either assisting in
the development of the Corporate Plan or in reviewing
it for practicality after reviewing the internal and
external factors that would effect the company. |

Intense competition and the challenges
of the world economy are forcing companies to revamp
the way they do business and squeeze every ounce of
profit from their operations.
Rather than just looking outwards to
their external environment and focusing on gaining market
share they are also starting to look inwards to their
own operations to find ways and means to improve and
create long term, measurable values.
Companies are starting to look at Performance
Measurement tools that can help them manage their process
of translating strategy into action. One of the tools
being deployed is BALANCED SCORECARDS, which has led
to breakthrough results for various organizations.
Balanced Scorecards is a tool that
translates an organizations mission and strategy into
a comprehensive set of performance measures that provides
the framework for a strategic measurement and management
system.
In Balanced Scorecards, you go beyond
the simple measurements provided by the financial statements.
In this you measure four key performance indicators
namely: Financial, Customers, Internal Processes, Innovation
and Learning.
CORE can provide the expertise to develop
the framework for implementing a Balanced Scorecard
methodology within your organization and assist in deploying
it to help you gain breakthrough results that will improve
your bottom-line.

One of the keys to success in the
corporate world is having immediate access to quality
information regarding your company, as well as your
competition.
Information Technology, when correctly
implemented, can be a major weapon in the battle for
sustained competitive advantage.
If incorrectly planned and implemented,
Information Technology systems can be a drain on resources,
rather than a tool used to gain competitive advantage.
|
With the wide choice of hardware
and software available today, our expertise in this
field ensures the selection and implementation of a
M.I.S system optimized to your requirements. Our objective
and totally independent stance allows us to advise you
on the best possible solution to your Information Technology
needs.
Another aspect of utilizing our services is the time
saved by your key personnel who can concentrate on their
jobs, rather than being distracted by the mechanics
of setting up a system as well as gaining from our years
of expertise in Information Technology
|
I.T. Change Management
|
Replacing or changing an I.T. infrastructure
can be quite traumatic, and consume much time and
resources, as well as hindering business if incorrectly
planned and implemented.
Our expertise helps you to ensure
a smooth and successful transition to a new system,
with the minimum of disruption to your business.

E-commerce Consulting
|
The Internet has changed the way
companies manage and distribute information and conduct
business with their customers and suppliers.
Enormous opportunities for cost reductions
and extending market reach can be availed, but a lot
of strategic planning, and development is needed to
design a system that encompasses a whole new way of
doing business.
Most companies invest in E-commerce,
but never get the results they planned for, because
e-commerce is much more than doing business over the
Internet.
For companies who venture into doing
business over the Internet, and before they can be
successful, they have to create a complete strategy
of :
- A Strategic Plan to how to develop their business
using ecommerce.
- Integrating their current operations with their
Internet initiatives so as to make the operation
a smooth flowing one rather than clashing with each
other. This is one of the most difficult steps.
- A marketing plan to inform customers and suppliers
about how to use the new systems.
- Security Plan.
- Ensure the delivery of goods and services ordered
by customers via the Internet is delivered smoothly,
promptly and cost effectively at all times.
- Ensure that the entire strategy is designed to
increase market share, reduce cost, raise efficiency
and create customer value.

I.T Audit – Post Implementation
|
Once a system is operational it is
essential to monitor and audit it from time to time.
The purpose is to ensure that the system is meeting
the goals set for it, and is providing the information
you actually require.
The audit covers areas like operational
procedures, and security levels amongst others. It
also checks for redundancy of procedures, updating
them as required.

|
Many tasks can be turned into routines
so as to free your personnel to concentrate on areas
important to your company's success.
After a thorough study of your company's
operations we prepare a detailed Company Operations
Manual, in consultation with you.
This manual covers the entire range
of company operations in a simple and concise manner
and can also be deployed over a corporate intranet for
easier distribution and continuous updating.
