THE APPROACH WE TAKE

We typically work with clients in diagnosing and redesigning business models that have evolved with loss making customers and products, disengaged customer service, poorly understood management information, a high cost base and regulatory risk.

Our consulting frameworks include:

Organisational Diagnostic

Speedy review by engagement with personnel at all levels in finding the nuggets of gold and understanding the drivers of poor performance.

Customer value propositions (CVP)

Researching how to attract and retain customers by understanding what they value and are prepared to pay for in the products and services.

Target Operating ModelS (TOM)

Graphically and narratively describing how the strategy will work operationally, financially and the capabilities needed to sustain and grow the business.

Business cases

Providing a compelling narrative of the financial and strategic reasons to invest in the change initiatives.

Benefit realisation

Embedding accountability for achieving the business case benefits.

Financial modelling

Integrating the business strategy with the financial forecasts, product pricing, activity based costing of products, distribution channels and customers.

INVESTOR PACKS

Business plans, Pitch decks and financial models for equity and loan fundraising.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

Testimonials Content

Blueplate Consulting was hired to rejuvenate our financial reporting, in short order, to pave the way for a capital raise. The extent of legacy issues required bringing in more experienced human capital, midway through, to meet the deadline. By the end of it, a thorough and first rate job was done.

CFO of easyCoffee

I would like to thank you for the job you did on our direct business set-up in the UK. Your work has been more than valuable in a very difficult environment. The successful launch despite the technical issues was a challenge and we owe you a significant chunk of this success. It has been a pleasure working with you. We may have the opportunity to work together in the future.

Compaq Computers

Staggering persistence was required. We’d come so far and couldn’t give up. Blue-Plate, and Jeff Herman in particular, was always there.

CEO Bluesure Insurance

At all times I have been impressed by the hard work, dedication and professionalism of BluePlate staff. They have not provided me with the aloof consultancy methods that I am used to, but have joined in, working alongside MOD staff…..They have truly added value during their contract period, and have never failed to transfer knowledge on project closure.

Head of Resources, DLO

Jeff of Blueplate Consulting was a key contributor in mobilising the Finance KPI Dashboard in a very short time. The level of seniority of the many stake-holders, the geographical spread and diversity of the business units involved also added to the complexity of the exercise. Jeff’s soft skills coupled with good understanding of how the Finance Function operates in a very large organisation were very appreciated and certainly contributed to successfully complete the first phase of the Finance Dashboard project.
