'Companies need to monitor Key Indicators
of its performance and health'

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION
We provide companies with advice and hand-on assistance to ensure that they have the information and the systems necessary to obtain the information on all factors key to their success. We work with the company to identify the critical factors that must be controlled for the business to succeed. These are integrated into a customised management report system so they may be regularly appraised and business plans and strategies up-dated. A management report system and format is devised to particularly suit the specific requirements, resources and trading peculiarities of the business. We work with the business to put into place all the necessary procedures and documentation in order to achieve the required level of management information, from which qualified decisions may be made. We assist the company to set up and run effective regular board and management meetings, and to interpret and react to the management information.

MANAGEMENT REPORTS
We complete a study of the operations of the company, to determine the key factors to its success. We look for the information key to each sector of the business from sales to purchasing, from production control to credit control. We put these together and produce recommendations for the package of information that the directors and managers of the company should be inspecting periodically, in order to make qualified management decisions. We will assist the company in putting together the correct procedures to ensure that this information in produced and presented on time, and in an understandable format. We will assist the management in understanding and interpreting the information they receive, and advise on the actions and reactions available to them. We also are able to provide physical support and input to the management/board meetings, if required.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
We look at the way in which the company is using Information Technology to deliver its Management Information, and investigate improvements or other methods to arrive at an improved performance. We advise companies on their Information Technology Strategies, where developed, and we assist companies to develop one where there is not at present, to ensure that they are not left behind in the efficiencies and advantages to be gained from IT development. We look at and advise on the use of networks, internet, and on-line facilities, and assess the opportunities available to sales and marketing, and communication.

FURTHER MIS/IT/IS SERVICES are provided in the areas of Management Training, Value Management, Chairing of Meetings, and Non-Executive Support.
