Our clients have similar issues

People, process, technology, and management systems

Nexview clients are global corporations and mid-market companies typically ranging in revenues from about $250M USD to several billion USD.

Clients often wrestle with several of the following issues that are impacting growth, operating expenses, and working capital:

• Customer service issues – the right products are not available or not on-time-in-full
• Sub-optimal integration across functions such as product development/marketing/engineering, sales, operations, and finance
• Lack of integrated financial and operational planning, there are separate plans
• Insufficient definition or implementation of roles and responsibilities
• Low/negative margin products in the portfolio, and the balance between product offerings and operational complexity is off
• A low-level tactical demand and supply balancing process exists, but there is no executive led, aggregate process (i.e., “True” S&OP)
• Weak or missing planning processes below the S&OP layer (e.g., demand and supply planning)
• Inefficiencies in aligning demand across production facilities, capacity utilization, and asset footprint
• Lack of KPIs, insufficient management of them, and lagging results (e.g., forecast accuracy, inventory turns, on-time-in-full, stock-outs, lead time management, capacity utilization, obsolete inventory, supply chain costs
• Fragmented and / or out-of-date supply chain organization structures
• Insufficient or under-utilized information systems resulting in a high degree of manual work
• Inconsistency across business units or regions
• Unintegrated acquisitions
• Infrastructure that has not kept pace with the growth and complexity of the company
• Growing dependencies and workloads on individuals
• Stagnating or lack of capability development
• Leaders know what is needed, but their teams struggle with execution
• Leaders dragged into the detail (more our mid-market clients)
• Inability to achieve change and/or measurable results within their organizations

Large Companies

Should they work with a boutique firm?

Leaders at large organizations usually have their go-to consulting firms that are recognizable (safe) in the boardroom, or perhaps a consulting firm is just forced upon them by corporate. Stakes are high and budgets are significant for change programs involving consultants. We get it – we came from and work in this environment. If working with a small firm concerns you, then go with what makes you sleep at night and what you think will be easier to explain if the project goes south.

Our larger clients are typically those we’ve worked with in the past, have had mixed results with the big firms, or have just decided they want to hire a highly-experienced skilled surgical team instead of the hospital and whoever is on duty at the time.

We are experienced in helping our client Sponsors navigate their own organizations to build consensus for projects and change. This is usually the hardest part of the change program.  We’ve worked with many leaders of business units or regions to help them across their scope, up their management chain, or down their management chain as applicable.

Mid-Market Companies

Change needs to happen faster with more limited resources.

Our mid-market clients also deal with complexity and often have different pressures arising from less resources, smaller teams, tighter controls, more involved boards/investors, and sub-optimal infrastructure. We adapt our “big company” techniques to fit this environment. Shorter, less expensive projects with shorter times to impact are needed here. Sometimes these organizations just need a solid design, some structure, and plan forward to generate the momentum required for the internal team to execute.

If these thoughts resonate with you please contact us, we are happy to add value in an informal exchange of ideas.
