Business Process Design

Look to ACME if you need to .....

... run a leaner, meaner outfit. You don't have a growth problem, you have a revenue growth problem. How to do more with exactly what you have? You need to establish better links between business units, and find synergies and efficiencies from product development to manufacturing to marketing to distribution. ACME helps reduce waste and overhead, and increase speed to market.

For example:
Doing more with less: Facing a significant reduction in their revenue stream as a result of a flattening in the payroll tax, a mass transportation organization needed to cut $8 million from their budget over a two-year period.

The project: Peter Lizotte led an agency-wide opportunity assessment to identify possible savings over the following two years. The team looked at everything from marketing to IT to bus maintenance, and identified efficiencies and expenditure savings opportunities.

The result: More than $20 million in potential savings were identified, and the initiative to implement these pragmatic and realistic savings was embraced by the agency. The organization not only realized their desired benefits but also defined a team and processes to make this kind of internal analysis a sustaining part of their operations that continues today — a smarter, leaner organization preparing for the future.
