Set goals, make an action plan and mobilize the resources necessary to achieve your goals.

An effective strategic plan provides a clear vision of what your company is trying to achieve and can help you go after the right opportunities to realize that vision.

Even if your company is already growing quickly and there are lots of options and opportunities, we can help you build a 3 to 5 year roadmap to keep your management team focused on what’s important to growing profitability and building enterprise value.

Our strategic planning services can also help you develop new ideas and ways to innovate to take your company’s sales and profit performance to new levels.

And once your plan is in place and your team is executing against it, we can also provide regular check-ins to help you assess your progress and course correct, when necessary, along the way.

The Ramos Group can help you put additional cash flow to work by lowering your supplier costs (without compromising quality and service). An additional 10%-30% savings in some of your most significant expense categories can represent a significant boost to cash flow that can be put back to work in your business. By applying our experience and expertise in best practices in procurement, we can not only help you lower what you’re paying your suppliers, but also find efficiencies in how you work with your suppliers to lower the overall cost of doing business with them.

Stop leaving money on the table. Every dollar you save is a dollar you add to your bottom line.

Put the right number of people in the right positions to drive results.

Whether due to a merger, a change in strategic direction or lackluster performance, restructuring your company or even one department can be a major change involving multiple functional areas and locations, computer systems and networks, legal ramifications and major changes in procedures and processes.

The Ramos Group will work with your leadership team and your HR, Legal and Finance organizations to analyze, understand and plan for whatever organizational changes are necessary and appropriate and then help your company through the entire process of executing the changes and implementing the change management steps necessary to ensure a successful transformation. We can help you achieve a more efficient, streamlined and effective organization.

Do what you do, but do it faster, better, cheaper.

Business Process Reengineering involves the redesign of core business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in productivity, cycle times and quality. The Ramos Group, using Lean Six Sigma and the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Implement and Control) method, can diagnose problems and inefficiencies in your current processes and help you design and implement changes and solutions to deliver more value to your customers and greater returns to your shareholders.

Business Process Reengineering can:

• Reduce costs and cycle time. Business Process Reengineering reduces costs and cycle times by eliminating unproductive activities and, in some cases, the employees who perform them. This decreases the need for management layers, accelerates information flows, and eliminates the errors and rework caused by multiple handoffs.

• Improve quality. Business Process Reengineering improves quality by reducing the fragmentation of work and establishing clear ownership of processes. Employees gain responsibility for their output and can measure their performance based on timely feedback.

Select and implement the right technology to do things better or just be smarter about what you’re doing.

Reengineering or standardizing your business processes can also yield opportunities to invest in technology that can automate parts your processes and drive even greater efficiencies and cost savings. Management information and business intelligence solutions can also provide timely insights into how your company is performing and help you make smarter resource allocation and investment decisions.

The Ramos Group has years of successful experience in writing RFPs, evaluating and selecting the right technology solutions providers and project managing systems implementations. From understanding and documenting your business processes, key performance indicators and use cases to working with your internal team and the technology vendor’s team to implement and test the solution and train your users, we can manage the project end-to-end and ensure a successful outcome and return on your investment.
