Professional Solutions

At AKMSolutions, we are your partner in strategic planning and operations.

Our professional solutions are built upon six core pillars to provide best practice solutions and enhanced performance across your business or organisation.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

Failing to plan increases the risk of business failure.

We specialise in strategic planning for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and not-for-profit organisations across industries. As your strategic business adviser, we work directly with board members and senior executives to plan and orientate your business to the future. We create a path to growth by developing strategic plans for a specific area of your business or providing expert review and adjustments to existing plans.

We deliver a robust and relevant strategic plan that is easy for all levels of management and staff to understand across the organisation. Upon completion, you will feel confident that you can move forward with:

  • A blueprint for the future
  • A plan that can be executed to provide a competitive advantage
  • A focus for all stakeholders from a board level down to front line staff

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Project management services for small, medium and large-scale special projects.

When managed internally by company staff, projects are often at risk of not being delivered to specific requirements or running over time and therefore going over budget. Projects can distract staff from their core operational tasks which lead to inefficiencies and poor productivity across the business. Engaging a project manager will provide the guidance and control needed to achieve superior results.

From a turnkey solution to managing specific parts of a project, we act as your business representative to ensure your project is delivered to your specifications, on time and within budget. Our team can support various departments or special projects including capital works, construction, refurbishment, acquisition, disposal, expansion, contraction, or product development. Our project management solutions will provide you with:

  • Project visibility and control
  • Expenditure visibility and control
  • Timeline visibility and control
  • Specification visibility and control

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk identification and mitigation is vital for any business to survive. 

Alarmingly, a damaging risk can turn a successful business into a disaster overnight. Worse, a lack of risk identification and assessment can lead to death, serious injury or business failure. At AKMSolutions, we help you identify and proactively manage your risks to avoid potential threats.

Our risk management solutions include the creation, implementation and maintenance of policies and procedures designed specifically to enhance your business operations. We provide a complete review of the business risk register and the mitigation strategies and policies of each risk. We offer a bespoke service to identify any gaps and address them. Specifically, we provide:

  • The development of a risk register that encapsulates all known risks to the business
  • Assistance in the mitigation of identified risks
  • An independent and objective perspective on your risk management

GOVERNANCE AND BEST PRACTICE

Effective governance will make a significant contribution to your business bottom line.

Governance is a key function of operating a successful business. Ultimately, the biggest risk to any business of any size is failure and a reduction in trust between its board, management and stakeholders. Initiating corporate governance best practice into your business will assist in maintaining confidence and trust at all levels of the organisation.   

We add significant value by providing a complete review of your existing governance practices and offer solutions to the missing elements within your business. Specifically, we can review your governance structures and policies to ensure they are consistent with industry best practice. Such benefits include:

  • An effective measure designed to add to your bottom line
  • Improved trust between your board and management
  • Mitigation against fraudulent activity and other challenges
  • Confidence to stakeholders and shareholders that the business is being operated in accordance with modern best practices

INTEGRATED LOGISTIC SUPPORT

Look beyond the final result and create a more profitable outcome.

Integrated logistic support is a vital component of any major capital acquisition. When done correctly, it significantly reduces support costs through the product lifecycle. We work with businesses that operate specifically in the Defence or logistic industries to identify the logistic support requirements needed to ensure optimal lifecycle performance.

Lifecycle performance requires significant human and financial capital investment. The management of this performance and the processes established at the project delivery stage is critical. We provide an end to end service that focuses on the procurement and lifecycle phases of major projects or management of specific phases to optimise product benefit and cost. The benefits you’ll find with integrated logistic support include:

  • Reduced cost through the product life cycle
  • Increased product availability

CRISIS MANAGEMENT

Crisis management can minimise and alleviate the negative impacts of a crisis.

Crises can be difficult for any business to predict and manage. Whilst we all believe that crises should be avoided at all cost, sometimes through circumstances beyond control your business can be faced with a crisis. How prepared you are in that event can have a direct effect on how your business recovers, associated costs and the impacts on your brand and reputation.

We often find that in many businesses, management are so focussed on the day to day operations that external, independent support is required to plan for and manage a crisis. At AKMSolutions, we provide scenario-modelling and planning to minimise and alleviate negative impacts caused by crises. We provide you with a crisis management plan including key messages and themes so that in the event of a crisis, your business is prepared and in control. Specifically, we deliver:

  • A bespoke targeted plan
  • Key theme identification
  • Key message identification
  • Key personnel contact during a crisis
