Do More With Less

How To Survive and Thrive

In a down economy, organizations in all sectors must achieve three objectives to both weather today's storm and set the stage for future growth:

• Reduce Expenses - Streamline operations via Process Optimization
• Retain Customers - Increase your value proposition via Process Innovation
• Tap New Markets - Find new sources of revenue via Strategic Innovation

Orion Development Group can help you achieve these critical objectives rapidly.

PROCESS OPTIMIZATION

Cut Fat, Not Muscle with Rapid Efficiency^TM

Studies have shown that up to 20% of the cost for manufacturing processes and 30% of the cost for service processes is caused by non-value-added activities and waste. Eliminate those costs without laying off key staff and sacrificing customer value with a focused process optimization initiative. In the past two years, process optimization has helped Orion clients:

• Reduce the cost of a Purchasing process by more than $400,000
• Eliminate more than 50% of the processing time for a Permitting process
• Reduce cycle time and cost of an Insurance Application process by 65%; and
• Increase revenue from that process by more than $100,000 per year

PROCESS INNOVATION

Enhance Customer Loyalty with Rapid Value^TM

Across-the-board spending cuts force your customers to postpone purchases of necessary products and services and/or seek out low-cost providers. Make your products and services indispensable to customers with a focused process innovation initiative. By leveraging outside-the-box ideas, you can:

• Increase the value of your current products and services for customers
• Devise add-on services that will increase loyalty and/or revenue
• Integrate your services more closely with your customers' processes
• Improve your value proposition relative to low-cost competitors

STRATEGIC INNOVATION

Discover Untapped Markets with Rapid Growth^TM

A recession can make "red oceans" even bloodier as companies cut prices to retain business.

Discover untapped markets that your organization has the capability to serve with a focused strategic innovation initiative.

• Leverage your unique capabilities to identify new customers and services
• Create a strategy map to realign activities for recovery
• Identify initiatives to deal with new challenges and enter new markets
