Consultancy

Our main focus is on creating value.  This means that often we are providing a new way for our clients to look at the way they run various areas of their business.  Regardless of the size and scope of the area of focus our ultimate goal is to help our clients build lasting results.

Strategic and Financial Planning

Authentick’s expertise in managing value means that we are able to advise top executives across a range of industries and at multiple levels of an organisation on the important challenges they face in today’s competitive environment.  Our clients range from start-up entrepreneurs to multinational companies and we work with them to:

• Develop winning strategies that distinguishes them from their competition and long-term survival.
• Provide assistance in implementing strategy and managing performance.
• Conduct financial analysis to back up strategic options as well as help to source the funding required to implement the strategy.
• Align their strategy in order to maximise value to both customers and shareholders.
• Develop pricing strategy that can effect the balance of being competitive whilst optimising value created to stakeholders.
• Build the capabilities they require in order to increase value to all the key stakeholders within their business environments.

Supply Chain Management

Our approach is not solely focused on intra-organisational activities but we also work to align and optimise value created in inter-organisational relationships to effect benefits for all parties involved.  We work with our clients in the area of supply chain management to:

• Design and optimise their value chain by aligning key operational disciplines intra- and inter- organisationally that results in improved productivity.
• Build strategic and organisational capabilities to maximise the value returned to their shareholders by providing  better customer insight.
• Develop tailored solutions that address the specific needs of the business as opposed to a pre-packaged approach.
• Understand supply chain risk and how to mitigate it.

Project Management

We also provide resources and services required to enable the success of our clients in projects they engage in.  In such respects we help our clients to:

• Identify and prioritise key projects that are mandatory for their success.
• Conduct feasibility studies that predetermine the risks associated with the projects and how to mitigate those risks.
• Source equipment on their behalf and verify claims made by manufacturers.
• Identify and recruit expertise that is relevant to their projects.
