Maximizing margins and returns for a major ICT group
Faced with diminishing revenues and profit margins, an information and communications technology (ICT) group was under pressure to invest in technology upgrades to sustain its market position. The company sought a strategy that could simultaneously enhance revenues and margins.
Our bespoke solution? A Return Maximization Program, powered by our proprietary ROCE (Return On Capital Employed) tree benchmarking, and a designed tri-pillar approach: streamlining support functions, executing intelligent infrastructure investments and operations, and forging a digital market-facing front.
Through a collaborative process, we engaged stakeholders at every level. The outcome? A substantial 3% ppt EBITDA increase and a 2% ppt ROCE improvement over three years.
Enhancing Capex returns for a major telco operator
A telecommunications company wanted to maximize the returns on its 5G network and fiber investments. Hindered by a technology-led planning process with limited visibility for finance or management, its capital expenditure planning was disjointed, prolonged, and opaque, leading to subpar ROI.
Our solution? We designed a transparent capex framework and methodology, complemented by an AI-enabled platform for collaborative creation of optimized 5G and fiber rollout plans. We also facilitated interviews with business and technology leaders across the organization, ensuring a shared understanding of the company’s ambitions and the new technology. This resulted in a 10% ROI improvement.
Connecting the budget to strategy for a major developer
A developer was struggling with a convoluted planning and budgeting process. Misaligned numbers, lack of collaboration, and blurred responsibilities between finance, cost owners, and strategic initiative owners were holding back the company's progress.
Our tailored solution? We created a framework promoting collaborative budgeting and financial planning. This included designing digital templates, establishing a centralized model for the financial plan and budget, and connecting strategic and operational initiatives to the budget. This was all based on a supply-demand philosophy, enabling precise budget tracking and initiative linkage.
