Organisational excellence

Our Philosophy

Industries generally and, in particular, the Financial Services industry, both in Australia and globally, are experiencing a period of rapid innovation across the value chain. Increased complexity, consumer expectations and new industry dynamics are changing the perceptions of how and where value is created.

AKI was formed by four C-Level Executives who believe that Strategy is generally not done well in either implementation not activation. AKI is to be described by its customers as the partner that creates the greatest value for their business.

CAPABILITIES & SERVICE OFFERING

Corporate Strategy

AKI exists to guide, advise, facilitate and assist corporations to formulate an actionable Corporate

The delivered strategic plan will include:

The plan will include clear actions, targets with defined timeframes. It will also outline detailed strategic elements linking each element with the responsible business unit, thus aligning business risks to achievement.

THE STRATEGIC MAT

Operational Planning & Performance

Most experienced corporate leaders will tell you that planning and performance go hand in hand. Expecting high performance without proper planning is an exercise in futility. Achieving high-level performance in the absence of planning is more related to good luck than good skills. Operational planning is the road map that will enable you to find your destination: superior performance. Understanding the process and connection helps you plan, then perform.

As part of AKI’s SMART Strategy preparation, businesses will develop (with guidance) a well-defined operational plan with clear actions, targets, datelines with ownership assigned for meaningful execution.

Organisational excellence

Organisational excellence is desired by every business, but most business leaders are never able to determine how it is achieved. It has often been said that ‘change is a constant in businesses’, but it is particularly relevant today especially with the growth in digital transformation.

There is no single shortcut to organisational excellence; AKI supports a multi-channel approach to improving and optimizing business performance.

Organisational excellence

Measuring performance is paramount to recognise success. The additional benefit is that if a business misses the targets, it will learn valuable information — measurable performance statistics — that allow the business to update and modify the operational plan for success going forward.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

A growing regulatory environment, higher business complexity and an increased focus on accountability have led corporations to pursue a broad range of governance, risk and compliance initiatives.

AKI provides assistance to corporations to develop a coordinated strategy for managing overall governance,
enterprise risk management and compliance with regulations. We employ a structured approach to aligning business risks with business objectives, whilst effectively managing risk and meeting compliance requirements.
