Core Capabilities

Corporate Strategy and Business Planning

Acquis assists organizations in formulating business and corporate strategies that connect their long-term goals with execution. Its strategy formulation process centers on identifying key priorities, aligning organizational stakeholders, and creating a realistic roadmap that can be used to inform future decisions and actions. Rather than treating strategy as an isolated plan, Acquis combines strategic thinking with execution to help organizations progress from planning to implementation.

The scope of Acquis’ strategy formulation may include topics such as growth potential, business direction, strategic priorities, and the systems necessary for execution. The consultancy emphasizes practical recommendations and helps its clients implement these recommendations within their current business environment. Using its knowledge of strategy and operations, as well as people and technology, Acquis enables organizational leaders to make informed decisions.

Operating Model and Transformation

Acquis helps firms rethink how their businesses are run by integrating human, process, technology, governance, and organizational aspects. The firm's operating model work starts with creating an operating vision and assisting leaders in making strategic decisions that will allow the vision to be realized. It then develops strategies in areas such as talent, organizational structure, governance, technology, processes, key performance indicators, and culture.

The human aspect is another important factor to consider when planning the transformation process. Through project management and change management customized to the firm's needs, Acquis helps organizations move from a developed strategy to implementation. This is done by creating solutions for the particular situation faced by the firm rather than relying on a standard model.

Technology Strategy and Implementation

The technology consulting service provided by Acquis involves selecting, implementing, integrating, and optimizing technologies for businesses. Acquis takes a business-led approach, meaning that it first analyzes business goals before identifying technology solutions that can help achieve them. The company's technology strategy capabilities include business case analysis, platform assessment and selection, integration strategy, platform optimization, technology rationalization, and roadmap development.

In addition, Acquis helps companies implement technology within their organizations effectively. The implementation service provided by the firm combines technical expertise with business process and change management skills. The firm's implementation work can involve processes such as project management, requirements gathering, system and process optimization, configuration, testing, training, and change management. Acquis also offers application managed services and AcquisLink®.

Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation

Acquis facilitates the evaluation and implementation of AI within organizations by ensuring that technology investments can be mapped to clear business objectives. Its AI work includes understanding the opportunities and complexities involved with AI, developing strategies for its deployment, and building capabilities that can lead to sustainable business value. AI is part of the firm’s technology and transformation capabilities rather than a standalone technology offering.

In addition to AI, Acquis facilitates digital and organizational transformation by connecting strategy, technology, processes, and people. This is achieved through Acquis' approach, which is geared toward breaking down complex situations into manageable action plans and guiding organizations through the process. This enables clients to consider technology issues alongside adoption, operating models, and organizational capabilities.

Procurement and Supply Chain

Through Acquis, organizations can enhance their procurement functions through the evaluation of sourcing strategy, processes, operating models, and efficiencies. The services provided by Acquis may assist companies in understanding their procurement needs, pinpointing areas requiring improvement, and formulating methods that link procurement activities with overall business objectives.

The company provides assistance with the implementation of strategic plans and moves organizations beyond the recommendation phase to the stage where improvements take place. This is done through the analysis of existing procurement operations, formulation of a sourcing strategy, process enhancement, and organizational changes required for the sustainable adoption of new ways of conducting business.

Acquis connects procurement to corporate strategy in order to provide organizations with better ways of managing expenses, suppliers, and procurement activities. The practical approach of Acquis takes into account people, processes, technology, and governance within the procurement sphere.

Talent, Leadership and Organizational Development

Acquis also works with firms on talent and leadership issues that impact the ability of individuals and teams to help the company achieve its business goals. Acquis' expertise in this area includes organizational design, leadership, talent management, workforce requirements, and the human element behind business transformation.

Acquis recognizes that changes in strategy, technology, and operations require people to understand and embrace new ways of working. Thus, Acquis incorporates organizational elements into overall transformation efforts in order to help the business align its people capabilities with its strategy.

The work may include assessing organizational requirements, designing appropriate organizational structures, building leadership capabilities, and enabling people to transition through a change process. Through the incorporation of people-related considerations into business transformation and operating model decisions, Acquis helps firms create an environment for successful implementation and develop capabilities that support business success.
