Full Potential Diagnostics
The difference between what a company is achieving and what it is truly capable of can be significant. Case in point: a past specialty chemicals client of dss+ was achieving the industry average earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of 4.5%. Two years later, thanks to our dedicated strategic consultants, the same company was hitting an EBIT level of 12.7%.
If you want to know what your organisation is capable of, full potential diagnostics provides the answer. By taking a structured approach to assessing the key value drivers for your business, they provide a comprehensive business case for change. What’s more, you get a detailed roadmap to achieve business performance improvements in a defined timeframe. In short: our management consulting teams show you what your full potential looks like, then guide you through every step.

How do full potential diagnostics work?
Full potential diagnostics consulting consists of three major phases:
1. Preparation
Agreeing on the scope, timing, and deliverables with project leaders; assembling and validating the fact base, scheduling the site visits, workshops, reporting and meetings.
Fact-based analysis of ambitious but achievable full potential; collaboration to determine and prioritise biggest and/or easiest volume, cost and enabling initiatives.
3. Design a planDecide workstreams; craft a detailed implementation roadmap for each site that sequences initiatives; integrate the roadmap into a cumulative benefit tracking system.
Worried about hidden internal challenges that might hinder the process? Don’t worry. A concurrent gap analysis will identify any lack in capabilities, or processes that need to be developed, to ensure process excellence.
