Strategic Resource Allocation

 

Cross Industry Learning & Benchmarking

 

"Ensuring Stakeholder Value"
Matching Your Needs with Peer Group Experience

How does your organisation balance its investments across diverse business units to provide optimal performance and maximise shareholder returns?

One of Xchasms' clients, with a portfolio of globally recognised FMCG brands, employing 80k+ people and receiving annual earnings in excess of $40bn, would like to Xchange ideas, experiences and best practice with peer professionals within Strategy, Strategic Marketing or General Management responsible for Developing Business Unit / Category Strategies or Business Portfolios exceeding $10bn.

Our clients' Global Strategy Team are keen to learn from organisations developing 5-10 year business plans. These plans should also include:-

  • scenario or portfolio modelling
  • identifying, quantifying and assessing strategic options focussed on communicating the effects of adding, reducing or maintaining investments across business units, regions or products/categories;
  • approaches to help business managers and the Board make informed resource allocation decisions.

Of additional interest to our client, are organisations tracking benefit realisation of investments and adjusting future scenarios to provide more accurate business forecasts that assist senior executives in setting more realistic performance targets.

In return for this Xchange, our client will share

  • their progress in enabling senior management to make strategic, operational and tactical resource allocation decisions;
  • their experience in ensuring that global, functional and business unit strategies are aligned
  • their approach to setting medium term performance targets to match operational goals with strategic aims.

All interested parties will obtain the opportunity to gain key insights into how a large complex global organisation has developed their Business Portfolio over the last 18 months. All Xchasm Xchanges are driven to provide mutual value to all participating organisations.

Are these issues of interest to you or your colleagues and would your organisation benefit from learning how other large organisations are delivering Resource Allocation initiatives?

If you or one of your colleagues are keen to benchmark your organisation against other non-competing organisations in this highly topical area then this initiative should be of interest.

Xchasm will be running inter company activities on this subject over the coming months, so simply let us know via the email link below if this is of interest to you (or one of your colleagues) and we will be in touch in due course to match your needs and requirements to our client's.
