Approach to Management
1. Guiding Principle: Thinking & Practice
Momentus Management Consulting combines academic activities and results, such as development of management models and methods, with years of practical experience by senior individuals.
Academia and practice are combined into one intellectual framework with the aim to achieve wanted results and goals. All Momentus consultants contribute to the development of our intellectual capital: the Momentus Management Framework.
Beside management consulting and advisory services, our employees are appreciated as guest speakers at conferences and also as academic supervisors.
2. Guiding Principle: Plans and their Implementation
Momentus consultants are all familiar with the challenges of senior executives inherent in the process of strategy formulation and implementation – the always-returning key question is: how to secure that the set business objectives will be realized?
In our work we have learned that business and organizational changes seldom are realized according to plan, due to a number of factors such as environmental changes, wrong initial assumptions, and complexity.
Momentus Management Consulting offers a management approach that is organized around three key phases and their relations: Formulation, Implementation, Adaptation.
Phase one: Formulation. It includes analytical work with strategic and operational analysis and design.
Phase two: Implementation: It focuses the work needed to actually realize the plans formulated.
Phase three: Adaptation. It covers the follow-up, evaluation, and adjustments needed.
A central aspect of this three-step managerial approach is the relation between each phase, and the iterative and circular fashion that these relations need to assume in order to manage complexity and to obtain learning and adaptation.
3. Guiding Principle: Business & Operations
Momentus Management Consulting start with the assumption that business and its operations are complex and any sub-optimization, focusing only a single aspect or component, may be inadequate for the understanding and development of the whole. Therefore, our consultants use a conceptual framework, which may be understood as a pair of spectacles, to be used to guide investigations and changes of businesses and organizations.
This framework includes the following components:
-
Customers and Consumers: that are targeted for the offerings and who are expected to pay.
-
Offerings or Value Propositions: goods and services that are aimed at defined Customers and Consumers.
-
Channels: that are used for interactions between an enterprise and its customers and consumers.
-
Processes & Routines: that includes streams of activities, guided by goals and policies that generate products and services.
-
Organization: which includes Organization Structure and Culture, as well as the constituting Roles and their Competencies, linked with control and reporting structures.
-
Information & Information Systems: information needed by processes for their execution,
along with suitable computer-based information systems to support management of this information.
-
Metrics: performance indicators to be used in order to measure and understand the conditions of an organization and business. These indicators must reflect the situation in all the above mentioned components and thereby support a holistic and balanced understanding of the operation.
-
Business: focusing a central resource, the financial streams in terms of revenues and costs. The so-called Activity-Based-Costing approach is here central to obtain an adequate understanding of costs. |
