Advance
We help you to achieve growth in four key areas:
- Strategy, Brand and Culture
- Work Winning
- Improving Delivery
- Engaging People
Strategy, direction and leadership
We work closely with our customers’ leadership teams to develop a compelling vision and strategy for their business whilst at the same time helping the team perform
We have built business and leadership teams capable of developing compelling strategies and championing the required change. Every team benefits from assistance, especially in turbulent markets.
Joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions
We helped a joint venture customer develop their brand, culture and service offering and move from new entrant to market leadership in their sector in 3 years
We will work with you to establish a successful Joint Venture from day one and help ensure that to be recognised as one of the best thereafter.
Brand and communications development
We created a new corporate brand for one of our customers that took their new product development to best in class within 2 years
We help our customers create stronger market positioning and differentiation from competitors, by developing distinctive brands.
Stakeholder communications
We have helped our customers to change peoples’ lives and their communities through strong stakeholder engagement
We help our customers shape the challenges they face in stakeholder communications by connecting and communicating community themes that bring about sustainable, positive change.
Work Winning
Talk to us about how we are achieving a win rate of over 80% with our customers
We achieve a win rate on major bids of over 4 out of 5 when our customers engage us early to bring focus and direction to their Work Winning programmes.
Change management
We bring clarity and direction to promote and sustain change in top FTSE 200 organisations
Advance delivered a four fold improvement in profitability to a top FTSE 200 organisation through a sustainable change programme.
Operational efficiency
On a major project, we improved efficiency and increased performance, reducing the programme from 26 weeks to 9 weeks
More from less based on real intelligence: At Advance we diagnose and optimise your organisation, to minimise cost and waste, and improve profitability.
Partnering and alliancing
We are recognised as having changed the approach, expectations and results in some of the most complex and messy Partnering and Alliancing projects
We work with you to establish a successful partnership from day one and ensure sustainable working relationships.
World class capability in programme and project management
We deliver results on some of the biggest programmes and projects in the UK
Advance enables the delivery of commercially successful projects, growing your reputation and winning you new business.
Procurement and supply chain management
We support customers to select and motivate their suppliers setting the standards for both behaviour and performance
We help our customers select the best companies to be members of their supply chains to not only deliver what is required and behave appropriately, but also to innovate in the way that the sector carries out its business.
Engaging people
We designed and delivered an employee engagement toolkit, that improved the culture and financial performance of a FTSE 200 company, employing over 1200 people, as audited by a top 5 UK accountancy firm
On average across 50,000 companies research showed that only 11% of employees were motivated – you know who they are! Wouldn’t you want to win the hearts and minds of the 76% who withhold their discretionary effort?
(13% have ‘left the business’ but are still employed)
Doing more from less by being better with less
Simply doing more is an assumption that businesses can actually achieve more without being better at what they do. With less opportunity and greater competition, Advance Business Growth prepares your organisation for new market opportunities and challenges.
And you get?
- Clear direction and improved leadership
- Greater certainty from a growing and higher quality pipeline and order book
- Profit growth by reducing waste
- The hearts and minds of your people and your customers
