The Acorn IMPACT Engagement™
Profit Analysis & Strategic Cost Takeout
Acorn Systems provides critical insight into exactly where and how to drive operational
excellence, cost reduction,
capacity realignment,
profitable revenue growth and
overall financial performance improvement.
The Acorn IMPACT Engagement is a technology-based consulting engagement that focuses
on strategic cost cutting and profit growth to strengthen long term performance.
Acorn System’s unique and proven approach to business modeling rapidly analyzes
your company’s existing data to provide new precise, actionable insight into strategic
cost takeout and profit improvement opportunities.
- Integrated Model
Acorn’s comprehensive, interdepartmental view of your business
utilizes readily available data to provide you with accurate numbers upon which
everyone will agree – operations and finance. Your company’s unique data is applied
to prebuilt process and cost structure models derived from Acorn’s deep industry
experience and expertise. We dramatically reduce time-to-value by jumpstarting your
engagement with our referential model database.
- Profit Analysis
A profitability snapshot of your business will quickly and accurately
identify profit winners and losers – customers, products, channels. Immediately
focus your cost cutting initiatives on profit drains such as excess capacity and
underutilization of resources. Without this view of costs tied to revenue and profitability,
Acorn’s core area of expertise, blind cost cutting could cripple or destroy your
business.
- Cost Takeout
Acorn’s comprehensive, actionable view pinpoints areas for immediate
cost cutting and enables you to avoid short-sighted, across-the-board cuts in favor
of precision cost takeout that won’t negatively impact long term performance. Move
your cost takeout efforts from reactive to strategic.
The Acorn IMPACT Engagement™ is based on a proven methodology used successfully
by hundreds of Acorn customers for over a decade. It is similar to what other management
consulting firms might propose with several significant advantages:
- Precision cost analysis
- Deeper and broader business insight
- Shorter timeframe & quicker results
- Less expensive & resource intensive
- Automated & sustainable solution options
The Acorn IMPACT Engagement will:
- Identify intelligent cost cutting opportunities
Given these challenging economic
times, your ability to prudently drive cost reductions and operational efficiency
improvements must happen quickly. We will provide clear, detailed and accurate visibility
into the true cost and resource capacity utilization of your business – by process
– with numbers that both finance and operations will agree on.
- Improve operational efficiency
Key to intelligent cost cutting is
operational efficiency.
We will provide the insight into redundancies and non-value- add activities that
you need to improve efficiencies and reduce costs. Seize this powerful information
to renew, reorganize and reenergize your organization without excess capacity and
wasted resources.
- Drive profitable revenue growth
You will receive a profitability analysis of key
business dimensions like customers,
products,
channels, organizations and processes.
We help you understand the true value creation portions of your business. We will
help you identify profit losers and winners so that you can shift resources to nurture
profitable growth.
The actions you take from our insight will drive meaningful cost reduction and profit
improvement for your company. This initiative has yielded a 3-5% cost reduction
in the first six months and up to 15% of revenue in bottom line profit improvements
for Acorn customers. Acorn gives you the full transparency you need in order to
meet cost cutting mandates with intelligent, precision cuts as opposed to a blind,
across-the-board strategy.
