Capgemini can help you to design and deliver the global operating model that will enable you to achieve your business vision. By aligning your Global Operating Model to the overall business objectives you will achieve the right balance of global, regional and local capabilities, so that your company has a cost-effective platform and able to improve market insight, which increases competitiveness.

Your business may require re-alignment to address the new global way of doing business in a cost-effective manner, addressing the needs of consumers and forging an effective strategy to penetrate emerging markets. The tough economic climate necessitates removing duplication and growing the right business capabilities, especially if you have grown through acquisition, while outsourcing or offshoring what is non-core and not differentiating.

The benefits of optimising your core business

Can you achieve your vision for the future with your current operating model? Are you keeping needless costs within your business? Are you aware of what’s happening across all your markets? Have you got an effective strategy for emerging markets? Have you capitalised on synergies across Finance, HR and IT to its maximum potential?

Optimising your core business allows you to:

Achieve your business vision – by re-designing and evolving your global operating model to achieve your strategic imperatives

Reduce costs – by eliminating unnecessary redundancy you can not only drive bottom-line benefits, but also increase back office effectiveness and overall business performance. Further reductions result from improving operational efficiency and synergies in areas such as HR, Procurement, Finance and Accounting and IT by adopting a shared services or Business Process Outsourcing model

Improve insight into enterprise performance - Exploit common performance indicators – make adjustments where necessary and steer your business through tough times

Exploit technological innovation – apply different approaches and enhance interactions with consumers

Capgemini’s approach: designing solutions with your goals in mind

We help you to design and implement an operating model that will help your business achieve its vision.

In order to do this, we take a top-down approach, starting with your business vision and strategy and realigning the operating model looking to improve efficiencies, build capability and organise for success.

We design top down, enabling IT technology to integrate your business functions

We look at non-core services that you could outsource or share across the business to deliver synergy and economies of scale to increase margins and take costs out of the bottom line

We help you design differentiated capabilities where it really matters to increase the top line revenues

We help you engage with your customers and consumers in an innovative and differentiated way. We can also help you understand and proactively monitor profitability across channels, brands and markets.
