Forecasting, Planning & Budgeting
Anakreon (UK) LLP works with CFOs, controllers and other finance department staff to analyze current processes, identify weakness and develop appropriate solutions for planning, budgeting and forecasting which may involve the implementation of new technologies to manage the processing and distribution of information - online / desktop apps instead of spreadsheets. To achieve the greatest impact for your business, we also look at the strategic planning process and how it impacts the budgeting and forecasting processes.
Our performance management proposition is designed to understand the key drivers of value in the organisation. From this we develop planning, budgeting, and reporting frameworks around Key Risk indicators and Key Performance measures
Data & Information
Companies often cannot rely on the information that serves as the very foundation of their primary business applications. Inaccurate or inconsistent data can hinder your company's ability to understand its current – and future – business problems. This leads to poor decisions that can cause a host of negative results, including lost profits, operational delays, customer dissatisfaction and much more. An effective data quality strategy can help you better understand your business environment, allowing you to maximize profitability and reduce costly operational inefficiencies.
The goal of data management and our main focus is to provide the infrastructure to transform raw data into consistent, accurate and reliable corporate information. Its foundation consists of the five building blocks of data management technology:
- Data Profiling – Inspect data for errors, inconsistencies, redundancies and incomplete information
- Data Quality – Correct, standardize and verify data
- Data Integration – Match, merge or link data from a variety of disparate sources
- Data Augmentation – Enhance data using information from internal and external data sources
- Data Monitoring – Check and control data integrity over time
Benchmarking & Analysis
Too many organizations mistakenly set their sights on simply matching industry averages on common metrics like cost or productivity. However, given the pace of change and increasing emphasis on return on investment, average performance is no longer good enough; companies must reach for world-class or risk falling into the ranks of the poorest performers.
Benchmarking recognizes that no company is exceptional at everything. That is why it is an ongoing process involving firms from any industry and any country. It is not a one-shot event. There is no room for complacency. Benchmarking requires that you constantly search for better solutions. The rationale is, if you continuously search for best practices in the best firms around the world, you should become an exceptional company, and we believe we can help our clients with such mission.
Research Assistance
The most common problem any person in academia faces during research projects is data quality. It might be related to data collation and extraction or data being not correctly structured for upload into statistical packages like Stata, Mathlab, etc. We work with number of professors from top Business Schools assisting them by building customised tools for data extraction, structuring and normalisation.
