Business & Strategy

VISION & MISSION

 Co-Creating Vision & Mission | Developing Values & Organizational Cultures

It is our firm conviction that the Leadership teams of any organisations must extensively deliberate on the ‘Purpose’ of the organisation.  What was the rationale for its creation and what it intends to achieve. It is a fact that entrepreneurs and business leaders, caught in the bustle of day to day activities tends to delay this cerebral exercise or jettison it all together. This thinking and approach has to change with immediate effect. The experts of Hummingbirds have a proven track record of support ing organisations in crystallising VISION- MISSION- VALUES with the dual objectives of :- 

 

  1. Assisting the entrepreneurs and leadership teams to frame a long-term strategy and legacy; and  

  2.  To align everybody around the company’s core belief and values. This creates a company culture.

BUSINESS PLAN & STRATEGIES

  Developing robust Business Plan & Strategy to meet current and future Business Challenges 

A clearly articulated vision needs to be supported and  bolstered by foolproof Business Plans and Strategies in order to achieve business objectives. While strategies and objectives may undergo changes the values are sacrosanct. The Leadership must have clarity on Business Plans (periodicity of review) and various unexpected challenges which  are bound to occur on an un-planned basis . The next task is to cascade down the values, strategies and  objectives downwards to the junior-most level of management.

INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT  SYSTEMS

   Quality Managment System | EMS | OHSAS | Safety Management System and ISMS

Decisive criteria for organisational growth in times of challenges is the ability to  adopt and implement Management Systems Standards. Leadership teams are putting increasing focus on this subject with a view to achieving  certain critical business objectives i.e. product or service quality, operational efficiency, environmental performance, health and safety in the workplace and Total Quality Management Systems. I.M.S. integrates all aspects of an organisation’s systems, processes and standards into a smart and user friendly system. This amalgamation allow businesses the strength, muscle and flexibility to achieve the aforementioned objectives by addressing all elements of the management system as a whole.

The Situation

 The client has established itself as a leading player in the industry with a complete range of Forged Fittings & Allied Products. In recent years, they have made major investments in R&D, Infrastructure, Plant & Machinery, Technology, People and Processes. This translated into winning repeated orders from the existing domestic market and acquiring new clients as well. The success in the domestic market gave them the confidence to venture into global sphere. The client had started exports to the US, Germany and other European nation including Turkey. The client's leadership team has quickly realised that in order to further expand the exports it is critical to establish systems and processes with a view to achieving defining business objectives i.e. product and service quality, operational efficiency, environmental performance, health and safety in the workplace and Total Quality Management Systems. This would help the Company to retain a competitive edge globally.

The Intervention

 

We began the journey with a meeting with the leadership team, followed by an in-depth and meaningful engagement with other stakeholders. A deep dive audit of the existing systems and processes, key operational indices, environmental framework, people policies and a number of alignments within the ambit of organisational expectations. 

In order to hand-hold and facilitate knowledge transfer, the Functional Heads and their direct reports were trained extensively to master the skills of successful maintenance and advancement of the newly designed system in an ever evolving compliance standard  scenario both at domestically and world-wide.

The Outcome 

 The Certifying Agency (A leading global agency) have carried out a rigorous audit of systems and processes and its implementation on the ground. The client team has successfully cleared the stage I and Stage II audits which leads to a recommendation for the Award of the coveted IMS to our esteemed client.

The Situation

The client is into the Packaging Business for more than three decades. In the early years  of the millennium the Company had seen positive growth year on year as it had  embraced the latest technology in bulk / industrial packaging. The problem started  surfacing in when the Company started focusing largely on supplying to its parent  Organisation. This shift in priority and focus restricted its growth as it could not look at  other potential / emerging business opportunities outside. The continuous rise in raw  material costs, wage bills and low operational efficiency together with a shrinking  product portfolio had adversely impacted the Top-line and the Bottomline and laxity in  quality standards had emerged. 

The Intervention

We have entered into a long term consulting engagement with the Company to bring  about buoyancy in operations and freshness of thinking ignorer to bring it back on a  growth trajectory and create a niche of market leadership in the segment enjoyed  decades earlier. The project kick started with crystallising VISION-MISSION-VALUES,  followed by drawing up of Business Plans and setting up Organisational and  Departmental Goals. Thereafter, key performance indices for each of the processes  identified and frozen, marketing and business strategies to support the  organisational short, medium and long terms gaols were formulated. The Functional  leaders were coached and mentored to achieve mutually agreeable deliverables.  A ‘Think Tank’ comprising a cross functional leadership team was formed to review and  measure the progress of critical business parameters and initiate course correction for  any deviations. In order to bring about cultural change (identified as a key element in  creating an optimum performance culture) the consulting team got full support from our  training vertical in conducting a series of workshop at all levels.

The Outcome 

The Company witnessed a 2X growth over the next 24 months,’pandemic’  notwithstanding. Backed by a strong leadership at the top and a successful execution of  Business Plans at all levels, the Company managed to successfully venture into diverse  market e.g Pharma packaging each with dedicated marketing teams.
