G2 Strategic Advisory Services

Business Challenge

During the recessionary environment of the last couple years, most businesses have focused on aggressive cost management. Functions that were not absolutely critical to survival were reduced or eliminated in an effort to manage near term cashflow and profit. The teams that remained were tasked to do more with less. Plans to start new businesses or enter new markets were put on the shelf to await better days. The bottom line was everything. However, across-the-board cost cutting inevitably yields diminishing returns. At some point the fat is gone. At that point, driving top and bottom line results to the next level must come from reinvigorated top line growth or from fundamental changes to the business model. However, developing and executing initiatives to accomplish these next-level objectives is hard. It requires insightful analysis of markets, rigorous and objective assessment of companies’ capabilities and disciplined execution planning. Many companies have lost the skills and capacity to adequately perform these tasks, as critical functions – Corporate Strategy, Strategic Marketing, Market Research – were cut to the bone or eliminated altogether. Other companies have never been able to afford the resources to create these capabilities on an on-going basis.
