    Operational Restructuring.

    Operational restructuring redesigns how your business runs (processes, organisation, controls and systems) to remove delays, duplication and leakage. We map current processes end to end, find where time and money are lost, design the future state with your team, and support implementation until the changes are embedded and measured.

    How it works

    Operational Restructuring, step by step.

    Typical timeline

    The diagnostic and design phase typically takes 6–10 weeks, depending on the number of processes and locations; implementation support usually runs for a further two to six months.

    1. 1

      Process diagnostic

      We interview process owners, review data and walk through key processes such as order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, inventory and month-end close.

    2. 2

      Current-state mapping

      We document processes, handoffs, approvals and controls, and quantify delays, rework and leakage.

    3. 3

      Future-state design

      With your team we design simpler processes, an approval matrix, clear roles and any system changes needed.

    4. 4

      Implementation plan

      We set out a phased plan with owners, milestones and KPIs, and agree it with management.

    5. 5

      Implementation support

      We support rollout through SOPs, training and periodic reviews, and measure results against the baseline KPIs.

    Before we start

    What we need from you.

    Don't have everything yet? We send a short checklist after the first call and work with what you have.

    • Organisation chart and role descriptions
    • Existing SOPs, policies and delegation of authority
    • System access or process reports from your ERP or accounting software
    • Recent internal and statutory audit observations
    • Volume and cycle-time data for key processes
    How fees work

    The fee depends on your situation. After a short call, the partner who will do the work tells you what's involved and gives you a fixed fee in writing — before any work begins.

    • Government fees and statutory charges are billed at actuals.
    • When you pay — upfront, in stages or on completion — is agreed in writing with the fee.
    FAQs

    Questions about Operational Restructuring.

    Not necessarily. The focus is on process, controls and roles. Where changes affect staffing, we set out options and their implications, including labour law requirements, so management can decide.
