ABX Services
Management Consulting:
At ABX Business Strategies, our management consulting services focuses
on three fundamentally important dimensions
of business planning and management:
Strategic Analysis and Planning –
Leveraging our analysis and planning capability, we work with our
clients formulate comprehensive
strategic business plans that support objective-based management.
This approach ensures that our client organizations remain
"on mission" with respect to their ongoing execution, and further
ensures the effective marriage of their strategic objectives
and ongoing tactical decision-making. Our overriding goal in this
regard is to work with our clients to identify and document
precisely-defined, well-stated, mission-driven objectives as well as
corresponding strategies (and tactics) for their attainment.
Through our business planning services, ABX clients can pursue their
mission-critical business activities, with regard to their operations,
marketing and financial management, in manner that delivers measurable
outcomes.
Financial Analysis and Management
– Through our financial management practice, we assist our clients to
achieve the overall fiscal objectives of their businesses.
-
Budget Creation and Management:
To ensure that their finances are allocated for strategic effectiveness,
we assist our clients in the formulation budget models, and to ensure
the proper budget tracking/management, we implement an ongoing budget
status and review process.
-
Capital Investment Analysis:
While the investment in capital is critical to all businesses, it is of
fundamental importance to businesses of a capital intensive nature
(such as construction or manufacturing). We provide our clients with
the decision support capability to determine the optimal approach to
undertaking their significant investments in capital (e.g. Buy vs. Lease
scenarios).
Operational Process Engineering
– Because the processes that define a business’s operations are directly
related to its overall success, it is vital that these processes be
optimally defined and implemented for both effectiveness and
efficiency. Through ABX Business Strategies process modeling
capability, our clients can gain greater insight relative to the
efficiency of their operations. We can assist in the definition of
newly implemented processes as well as perform detail analyses of
existing processes, with a goal of optimization. We accomplish this by
decomposing the related process to its constituent functional components
(i.e. tasks, information and data flows) and optimizing them for
effectiveness and efficiency.
Project Management:
Relative to
project management, our services take two distinct, but related, forms:
Direct Project Management
– The first, sees ABX in the role of actual project manager with direct
responsibility for the effective, efficient definition and management of
the project endeavor. This role is primarily suitable for situations
where the scope of the project endeavor is define by the delivery of one
or more of ABX’s other business services.
Implementation of Project Management Methodology
– The second PM relevant service offering relates the definition and
implementation of a standard, predictive project management methodology
that our client then leverages, internally, as a “road map”
for its
ongoing approach for the initiation and management of its
mission-critical projects.
In
either case ABX considers and addresses the all major elements of
structure project management critical to the assurance of effectively-managed, successful projects:

Project Scope
