Our Institute's strategic analysis, strategic design and strategic
implementation services take a holistic look at a company's
aspirations, testing and refining corporate objectives. The plan
includes mapping a self-correcting process to achieve new levels of
performance. It helps companies decide where to focus, where to
compete and how to allocate resources. Strategic planning serves as
a starting point for such related work as growth, portfolio
strategy, diversification, international marketing and M&A strategy.
Surprisingly, companies often fail to take a long-term view in
strategic planning, mistakenly believing it does not necessarily
lead to higher returns.
We help clients incorporate a long-term perspective into their
strategies, while focusing on the biggest issues they currently face
and on the best way to get results. Throughout the process, the
Nobel Mantrich Strategy Institute reviews and challenges clients'
strategy assumptions. We work to identify the largest opportunities
to build value within the company and develop an understanding of
how its current performance compares with its full corporate
potential. We help clients identify capability gaps and marketplace
opportunities and set up tactical goals and tracking systems that
ensure results.
Leadership and
Training
Nobel Mantrich Strategy Institute
promotes the development of leadership in client organizations. We
encourage creativity and boldness in management talent through
personal leadership coaching and campaign design, executive training
seminars on strategy implementation and alliance-based competition,
and alliance support for senior executives and leaders.
Strategy Consulting
Our proprietary methodologies enable
clients to conceive strategies in terms of whole systems and future
business evolution. This entails mapping the chaotic landscapes of
customers, allies, and competitors within which new business models
and business ecosystems are created. Nobel Mantrich Strategy
Institute supports our clients highest aspirations by helping plan
and launch multi-dimensional campaigns that bring business models to
life.
Our
Portfolio of Services
Strategic success depends on a variety of building
blocks. Our expertise lies in creating those building blocks, identifying which
of these blocks are relevant to your business and then putting the blocks into
place in the right position, in the right sequence and at the right time. We
offer a comprehensive set of methods to assist clients with specific needs
around internationalisation, expansion, diversification, focus, market share,
competitiveness, and a number of other strategic priorities that your business
may face.
The following are the services we offer our clients
and Institute Members:
Head Office Strategy and Corporate Strategy
Our focus here is on creating value at the
Corporate core of your organisation and removing value destroying activities. In
other words: Synergy - making the corporate "whole" worth more than the sum of
its parts. This is a huge challenge facing many multi-business companies,
emerging giants and diversified
family business groups of companies today. We work with clients
and Institute Members to define a clear role for the corporate core that goes
beyond coordinating and sharing resources, and monitoring operations. We help
the corporate center shape the Group's strategy and boundaries and identify core
competencies and across the board competitive advantages.
Uncovering Knowledge, competences and intangible
assets: These include capabilities or resources such as hidden brand
strength, potential patents, relationships, networks, and talent. Uncovering
competitive advantages hidden among the intangible assets in companies' core
businesses can provide new growth avenues and new competitive focus for the
whole organisation. Our role is to assist clients to analyse their processes,
assets, resources and portfolios to identify new growth opportunities.
Strategic Business Unit Strategy (SBU Strategy)
Strategic Business Unit strategy: A
powerful SBU strategy focuses on creating sustainable profitability, sound
cash flow and stakeholder value. Strategy Dynamics and Game Theory are important
tools we use in order to understand the value proposition and capture value from
all parties in the industry, enlarge our client's market share and create long
term sustainability.
Managing Uncertainty at SBU level:
Understanding and mapping Uncertainty is the key to strategic success. We
instigate clients to envision strategies that ride on trends and opportunities
in the marketplace while creating the necessary caution and realism to deal with
competitive threats in a dynamic and fast changing business landscape. We create
the frameworks, processes and methodologies on which we can assist clients to
think, analyse, plan and decide on winning strategies and cut-throat and
volotile environments.
Focus, Consolidation and Growth Strategies
With limited resources, companies today cannot
afford to generate aimless revenue activities which dissipate resources from
more important sustainable and profitable operations. Our Consolidation and
Focus methodologies allow clients to regain lost energy and spearhead into the
right direction. Our Growth Program , on the other hand, enables clients to get
on the fast track once the strategic focus has been decided upon. But developing
strategy for growth is very different from creating strategy in low volatility
markets. Growth creates special challenges that leaders need to crapple with as
they tread into unknown territory. To meet such challenges, gain market share
and enter new competitive spaces, clients need to learn and digest new knowledge
and unlearn old ways of doing business. This is a tough challenge in which we
handhold clients to make the critical leap and manage the risk.
Strategic Innovation
We have developed several approaches to help
clients generate innovative strategic breakthoughs. Our creative strategy
building methodology that perceives "strategy as revolution" enables clients to
identify feasible, feet-on-the-ground revolutionary strategies and business
models that enable them to create new competitor and market space never thought
of before.
Strategic Planning Processes
Way back since 1984, long before Nobel Mantrich was
established, our Founders have consistently studied at a longitudinal level,
several diversified businesses with corporate head office having a span of
business units under its control. We have today developed proprietary knowledge
that enables us to understand, give advice and create frameworks that help
clients take appropriate decisions based on holistic and robust strategic
planning processes at a corporate strategy and business strategy level.
Strategy Dynamics and Game Theory
Strategy is the prime reason why firms succeed or
fail. A well crafted strategy which is not implementable is as bad a strategy as
one which is illogical but well implemented. A crafted strategy has a huge
number of factors on which its success depends. This is because strategic
decision are in effect important critical decisions. Like billiard balls on a
billiard table, most strategy decisions contain significant
interdependencies and "dynamic relationships" to internal and external factors.
For example, the best strategies for our clients often depend vitally on the
strategic choices made by other players in their industry. Leaders are aware of
these "dynamic relationships" but don't always know how to map,
systemically describe the totality of the competitive landscape, predict,
and/or shape the strategic choices of other players in order to ensure their own
strategies are successful. Our Systems Thinking and Game Theory approaches
provide a comprehensive process and set of analytical tools to model and
leverage such competitive strategy, dynamic relationships and and outcomes.

Find out about our next Strategy Program:
Developing Breakthough Strategies for Growth
The
Global Emerging Giants Network (GEGN)
in collaboration with Nobel Mantrich Strategy Institute also offers a range of
strategy services specifically for Emerging Giants and diversified Family
Business Groups(FBGs). These include:
1)
Strategically Positioning the Emerging Giant and FBG in the Global Economy
The dismantling of
barriers to international trade is opening up huge forces. How should
diversified family groups and conglomerates react to these forces and take
advantage of them?
2) Creating
Competitive Advantage and Core Competence for the Emerging Giant and
multi-business FBG
The pressures
facing multibusiness firms are intense and multifaceted. Financial markets,
banks, boards of directors, and non-active family shareholders all demand that
leaders formulate powerful corporate strategies. And as competition within
product markets intensifies, diversified companies are discovering that success
depends on the combined assets, skills, and capabilities of the organisation as
a whole. The complexity of diversification makes focus difficult. How can
budding diversified giants from emerging countries achieve the right balance in
an increasingly hostile and focused competitive environment? What tools can they
use to strategise in this direction? How can they achieve synergy and continue
creating competitive advantage.
3) Finetuning
the Strategic Pattern of Diversification
All multibusiness companies need to be able to justify their ownership of the
businesses in the group. The corporate-level strategy must therefore show how
and why the parent adds value to the businesses. How can a fast growth
conglomerate diversify to meet new opportunities without compromising its core
competencies. What are these patterns of diversification? When do groups of
companies generally go wrong in their diversification efforts? How can Family
Business Groups avoid these pitfalls?
4) Identifying
the Critical Factors of Success in Diversified Groups in Emerging Markets
GEGN in collaboration
with the Nobel Mantrich Strategy Institute will enable Family Business Groups to
discover the factors which affect the success or failure of such a fragile
organisation in its originating host market economy and together explore
insights into how the your FBG can succeed in reaching its maximum capabilities.
What are the pre-requisites for becoming an Emerging International Giant? Tata
in India, Haier in China, Hyundai in South Korea, Olympic in Egypt, Solh in
Lebanon, SembCorp in Singapore, IBL in Mauritius were once small groups of
companies who have grown to their level of today. What were the contexts and
patterns in the path which has led to their successful growth? How did these
Groups make up for the lack of national infrastructure which initially hindered
their international growth? How can your Group of companies learn from these
experiences?
5) Strategic
Preparation for "The Fight of the Giants"
Your Family Business Group is one of the major business groups in your country.
Your Group forms part of the backbone of your local economy. How can your Family
Business Group protect itself and continue sustaining itself in the future? How
can it compete against tough foreign giant multinationals who want to gradually
erode its local and international market territory?
Our
Step-by-Step Strategy Service Process:
1) Strategic Analysis
Facts, analysis, and insight are the primary tools we bring
to the strategy process. Typically, a company maintains an
incomplete fact base about its business, especially the crucial
external data concerning its markets, customers, and competition. We
assemble this fact base and apply a proven, innovative set of
analytical tools to spotlight how the particular business creates
value and derives its competitive advantage. Based on data, driven
by analysis and informed by experience, our rigorous
approach creates successful strategies.
By pursuing strategies that enable them to deliver value to
customers better than their competition, Nobel Mantrich 's clients
realize bottom-line results in terms of market value, revenue, and
profit.
2) Strategic Design Nobel
Mantrich Strategy Institute, and our clients, have come to believe
that designing and nurturing new business models is central to
surviving in the new economy.
The Institute's primary mission is to
work on a day-to-day basis with leaders who wish to create new
business models and business ecosystems. This entails mapping the
chaotic landscapes of customers, allies, and competitors within
which we live. It means designing and assessing alternative business
models. It requires planning and launching multi-dimensional
campaigns that bring business models to life. The point is to
support the boldness, high aspirations, and creativity at the heart
of leadership. And to do so with systematic, tested processes of
design, evaluation and implementation.
3) Strategy Implementation
The Institute accelerates strategy
implementation by focusing on radically improving organizational
performance. Nobel Mantrich works to align clients' capabilities
with client strategy and the demands of a dynamic business
environment. We identify key points of organizational leverage and
map business change agendas. The Institute's consultants and
trainers advise clients on leadership selection and succession
planning, organizational design, partnership across organizational,
industry or cultural lines, improving product realization, and
executive development for individuals and teams. Our focus here is
on managing the change process and implementing methodologies which
reduce resistence to change and raises "buy-in".
