Complexity Kills Growth
Complexity is a natural consequence of success, and some complexity is desirable. A useful way to analyze the complexity in your company–and to separate complexity that’s beneficial from complexity that hurts the business–is to begin from a base of zero.
Complexity is a natural consequence of a company’s success. As a business grows, it enters new markets, expands product lines and begins to conquer new customer segments. Projects to manage complexity during this growth can result in revenue growth between 5% and 40%, as well as cost reduction from 10%-35%.
We help companies tackle complexity directly and keep it in check. We work with our clients to develop cross-functional solutions, complete with rigorous processes, clear guidelines and powerful metrics, to get rid of negative complexity and keep non-value-adding complexity from returning to the business.
To adapt, companies must innovate by introducing:
- Reduced costs
- Enhanced service levels
- Improved products
