To reach its full potential, a company must attain peak performance in several areas.

Process Improvement – is a systematic approach to help any organisation make significant changes in the way it does business. Turner & Townsend will help you define strategic goals and purposes and align processes to meet your customer’s requirements.

Outsourcing – increasing global competition can only be beaten by becoming more effective. One of the key routes to achieving greater effectiveness is to use a third party to implement non core functions and services. Contracting a third party to deliver these services is what outsourcing is all about. Turner & Townsend will help you implement, control, manage the transition, agree contracts and benchmark performance of outsourced activities.

Information Management – information is needed at all levels of an organisation to support business functions and help achieve aims and objectives. Turner & Townsend will help you plan, collect, create, organise, use, control and disseminate information to ensure that the value of that information is identified and used to best effect.

Management Systems – are becoming integrated into all business processes and are not limited to quality, health, safety and environmental issues. Management systems can be used to measure performance, raise quality, safety, reliability and efficiency levels at an economical cost. Turner & Townsend are able to help you develop, implement and audit management systems applicable to your business.

Value & Risk Management – risk management is not a one off exercise. Continuous monitoring and reviewing is crucial for the success of your risk management approach. Such monitoring ensures that risks have been correctly identified and assessed, and appropriate controls put in place. Good risk management can improve the quality and returns of your business. Turner & Townsend will help you put in place a robust risk management process which will, for example, help you allocate capital and resources more efficiently, anticipate what may go wrong, improve the probability that you will deliver your business plan and projects on time and to budget.

Business Continuity Planning – building in business continuity, making it part of the way that you run your business, rather than have to “firefight” any emergency, helps prepare you to offer “business as usual” after a crisis. Turner & Townsend will plan business continuity so that your staff, customers and suppliers are reassured that you have an effective policy and practice for managing the unexpected which helps builds confidence in your business.

Procurement and Supply Chain Management – involves developing the performance of an organisation’s supply chain from its suppliers to its customers, by identifying and then selectively improving supply chain processes and organisational infrastructure. Turner & Townsend’s consultants will perform a supply chain overview which will include an analysis of spending patterns and develop and implement a contracting strategy and a management process, which will deliver and share the benefits of cost reduction within performance improving supplier businesses.

Performance Measurement – is the process of developing and using measurable indicators that will be systematically tracked to assess progress made in achieving predetermined goal. To be effective, the system must be part of the strategic plan. Turner & Townsend are able to develop performance measurement systems that accurately define performance for a series of critical success factors in such a way that employee, departmental and organisation performance against expectations can clearly be observed.
