FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT AREAS
Marketing & Sales Management
A key component of the AAC assessment is analyzing and assessing your sales & marketing performance, processes, methods, and techniques to idenitify which areas need improvement.
We also work closely with all staff members and management in these areas to create cohesive and collaborative high performing teams that can more effectively align and work together internally, externally,
and in designated markets to increase and sustain profitable sales growth and future earnings.
Project Management
Organizations may have several ongoing projects at any given time. These projects can be department specific or require the involvement of the entire organization. The complexity of these ongoing projects may require many resources and create disconnects between the departments and various levels of management. You may be losing a sizable amount of cash and resources due to poor communication and faulty metrics.
The AAC comprehensive assessment will help identify trouble areas allowing us to align project management teams with your organization's directives and initiatives, improving communication and increasing profit margins.
Assessing an acquisition target’s functional competencies in New Product Development, we benchmark the organization against documented Key Performance Indicators and organizational practices (critical to success) that differentiate top performers from the rest of the pack. Finally, we look for behaviors that often interfere with NDP success. Our assessment concludes with recommendations for improvement.

Operations Management
Operations, the bloodline of most organizations,
must be cost and time efficient at every level.
An assessment of current operational performance includes: production, materials management, quality control, and operations support – including planning, engineering, staffing, and management.
An assessment may expose areas within your operations department that can be improved to save you time and money. Operational alignment can greatly increase your future profit margins.
Investments & Partnerships
A functional assessment of your organization can better prepare and position both investors and businesses
to collaborate and create mutually beneficial partnerships, reduce risk, improving performance and returns.
Our functional assessment is designed to identify an organization's position and functionality. Understanding which areas within the business need improvement, we then make the necessary changes to re-position the company and create an inviting environment for investors.
An accurate alignment of your organization is an absolute game changer. Many companies struggle
to get each functional area to effectively communicate and work together.
Analyzing company intercommunication and orientation helps us identify trouble areas that need to be recalibrated to get your organization moving forward, reducing risk, saving you time, and improving profits and revenues.
