Value chain dynamics and strategic procurement decisions
A company does not create value on its own. It is part of a value chain including raw materials producers, suppliers, clients and their clients.
Sustainable cash flow generation requires an equitable -- not necessarily equal -- distribution of the entire chain's profits; a chain is only as
strong as its weakest link.
Procurement and outsourcing represent some of the most important interactions of a company with its value chain. To ensure its own
long term success, a company should consider these interactions as vitally important strategic decisions, making sure that the other
companies in the value chain can access the necessary cash flows to enter into the next business cycle too.
Strategus models its client's value chain and the dynamics that affect it. We assess the way a company is currently positioned and how it interacts with the
other actors in the value chain. We advise on how the company can optimise its return on investment and maintain the entire chain's sustainability.
