Business Strategy and Organizational Effectiveness

To ensure a successful business enterprise, a well-conceived and defined business model is not a luxury, but a necessity. TSI’s experienced advisors assist in developing business case scenarios that recognize and address all relevant aspects of a successful business plan. We assist our clients in identifying the keys to success, and then devise a unique selling proposition that targets key markets and creates a distinct competitive advantage in those markets.

TSI advisors also assist our clients in tailoring business structure to the appropriate business model, so that business plans are not only fulfilled, but maximize profitability by recognizing and utilising the most effective business organizational models available. Our consultants keep abreast of current legislative and regulatory decisions, so that our clients have information not only regarding tried and true methodologies, but the leading edge approach to business strategy and operations.

While having a well-conceived business strategy is a requisite first step, it does not, in and of itself, mandate success. Operational effectiveness is a must, and separates the best of class performers from the remainder of the pack.

TSI Group consults with executives and upper level managers to construct and implement effective tactical plans to accomplish business strategies. TSI assists our clients in understanding:

  • Market Size and Segmentation
  • Market Trends
  • Marketing Strategy
  • Pricing Strategy
  • Positioning Statements, Value Propositions and Competitive Edge
  • Distribution Plans
  • Sales Forecasting

TSI can also assist our clients in meeting ISO certification standards, Six Sigma processes and lean management initiatives. We provide valuable assistance to our clients by helping them get their businesses to run at an optimal level- a sure fire competitive advantage.


 

Supply Chain Management

TSI Group’s Supply Chain Management Consultants assist our clients in understanding supply chain issues concerning inventory, warehousing and logistics. Our experienced consultants help devise strategic supply chain plans. We can assist our clients in implementing flow-through solutions, warehouse space optimisation models, and logistics plans, which include reverse logistics concerns, cross-docking and transportation management.

Modern business success requires competitiveness that is fuelled by state-of-the-art business operations. TSI’s Supply Chain Consultants are versed in these best of class methods, and assist our clients in developing and implementing efficient business processes to ensure maximum profitability and leading edge service.

Employee Succession Planning

In order to remain successful, an organization must identify those positions that are key to its organizational success, and must plan that those key positions will be covered in the future. Identification of these positions, and the competencies required to fulfil the job responsibilities associated with those positions, is the first step in succession planning. TSI Group then assists in developing a plan to ensure that candidates exist to fulfil these key positions as they become vacated. TSI Group's Training and Development Programs, in this case a Management Development Program, can play a prominent role in developing a viable succession planning strategy.



Employee and Labour Relations

The covenant between employer and employee has grown increasingly complex over the years. Whether it be in the form of a collective bargaining agreement, or employment contract with an individual employee, employers must mindfully enter employee relations with diligence and care. Employee and Labour relations is a heavily legislated arena, and employers require vast amounts of technical knowledge to adequately comply with the various regulatory bodies and legislation governing these matters. TSI Group consults with our clients to inform them not only of the many and varied requirements comprising this highly regulated area, but also assists employers in developing and implementing strategic and tactical plans to effectively manage their employee and labour relations. This comprehensive approach ensures a satisfied, effective and efficient workforce by cementing a mutually satisfying employer-employee covenant.

 

Outsource Programs

Our Corporate Advisory Services are delivered in the form of consulting services or as outsource programs. Why outsource? Outsourcing can:

  • Reduce and control operating costs
  • Improve company focus
  • Allow your organisation to gain access to world-class capabilities
  • Free internal resources for other purposes
  • Provide resources not available internally
  • Accelerate re-engineering benefits
  • Ease the management of difficult to control functions
  • Increase the availability of capital funding
  • Minimise risk by spreading the risk to third party providers

TSI’s outsource programs can help you concentrate on the things you do best, leaving non-core business tasks to experts that do those things well. We provide best of class service, optimal utilisation of human and capital assets, and maximization of profitability: the hallmarks of outsourcing.

 

Selling a Business or Divestitures

Businesses are always facing the inevitable question of if and when to exit either a field as a whole or one particular area in which they are engaged. TSI Corporate Services professionals can assist in the development of sales strategies of entire businesses or a portion of an existing business, such as a division or affiliated company.

TSI Corporate Services include:

  • Identifying potential buyers
  • Negotiating with potential buyers
  • Conducting due diligence of potential buyers, or assisting in the due diligence effort required to ensure that potential buyers are truly ready, willing and able to engage in contemplated transactions
  • Drafting of required documentation
  • Transactional supervision

 

Succession Planning for Owners

At the end of a career, the business owner must face the question of who is to succeed him or her. Does the business owner have an heir apparent? And if so, is that heir apparent qualified by education, training and experience to take on the challenges of leading the business into the future? If no family member exists to lead the business, is there an employee group, competitor or other interested party available to succeed the business owner?

TSI advisory professionals can help entrepreneurs answer those questions, as well as help maximize the value of their businesses when it comes time to move on.

 

Corporate Finance

TSI Corporate Finance professionals can assist TSI Group clients with a variety of transactional advisory services. Corporate Finance Services, in conjunction with other TSI corporate services offerings such as Mergers and Acquisitions and Selling of a Business, provide our clients with a full range of advisory services needed to successfully conduct business transactions.

In this regard, Corporate Finance Services envelop the entire range of services required to successfully complete a transaction, from pre-deal evaluation and analysis, to due diligence, deal structuring and finally to deal execution and implementation.

TSI professionals can provide transactional management, in-depth analysis of deal strategies and structures, and co-ordination of information among legal, commercial and accounting professionals.

 

Equity and Debt Capital Placement

Sometimes all the strategy in the world is just not the answer. There are times when only money can solve a problem, or perhaps you need to bring a great idea from the drawing board to reality. TSI Corporate Services is available to act as an arranger of equity and debt capital, by assisting TSI clients in opening a dialogue with private investors, financial services firms and strategic investors that can provide investment capital.
