Corporate Performance Management (CPM)

Don't let the vultures get you!

Getting and staying ahead is tough but we can help you to achieve it.
Even as you read this page there are competitors planning to eat your lunch. In the competitive global economy of today only the best can survive. This means being the best of the best. Some of our clients with our assistance have gone from middle to lower rankings in their field to global leaders in the matter of just a few years.

In one case we assisted a Government owned company metamorphise from a situation where it was a total lame duck with annual losses of 30% sales revenue to becoming a privatised world beater in just 4 years.  In that time it went into net profit for the first time in 15 years!

David Hutchins International can do with one real expert consultant what others would have you believe requires 50 inexperienced young graduates.

How? our approach is to transfer ownership of the ideas to your people in the shortest and most cost effective manner possible.


Following an assessment of your needs we train your people to make the changes rather than do it for you. This way, you remain in control and when the work is done, your people are the experts. All our training courses involve approximately 50% practical work.

We are part of an informal network of Business Performance Improvement Experts that stretches around the world involving hundreds of real experts not simply unproven graduates. If required we can also bring in appropriate expertise in IT at the level required by the work. If we need local resourses to provide local back up we can find them almost everywhere. Some can be found on the international section of our web site. Others do not have web sites but are there when we may need them.

Our Client base

 We have worked with many large international companies and even national governments working with more than 40 companies at a time. Had these programmes been conducted by the multinationals they would have cost hundreds of millions of pounds.

Just check our results:


Large International Steel producer - In three years David Hutchins single handedly helped them save more than $125M and they are acruing a further $75M every year. The total cost of our services? A mere £120000! Who else, particularly the large international consultancies could get anywhere near that return on investment? Check out more of our achievements on the Case Studies page and then ask who you can think of that has done better! We stand on our track record.

Today, Corporate Change is a critical issue in Global Economies. With more and more companies setting up Shared Service Centres and incorporating SAP and other complex IT programmes, it is impoertant to get assistance from those who are well experienced.

Mike Hutchins, is our leading professional in thie field. He joined DHI having been trained as a Chartered Accountant with Price Waterhouse Cooper and then moving to IBM Consulting and later Atos Origin. Mike has accumulated a huge experience in this field.

Our goal is to transfer our knowledge to you in the most cost effective way possible. We do not attempt to make you consultant dependant and we are always successful. Bigger is not always better!

Invite us in for a free one day (expenses only) consultation either at your offices, venue of your choice or at our offices.

During this meeting or visit, we can explore your stated needs, indicate how we think we can assist before preparing a full proposal.

 

Self Funding advice and assistance! 

The David Hutchins International Limited (DHI) approach to Consultancy is to assist our clients to run their own Sustainable Business Performance Improvement programme, not to do it for them. Our approach is unique and has always resulted in unprecidented improvements in business performance. For example - Aerospace Company -£45M net savings in 3 years from start up. Steel Company - $125M in three years and many similar. Please check our case studies.

The challenge for us, is the effective transfer of skill. Also, we are not prescriptive, we take account of what you already have so as not to re-invent the wheel  and then to build in those concepts that will make the difference.

Typical DHI approach

DHI consultancy is a mixture of:

1. Identify and agree the needs (free consultation).

2. Propose a costed implementation programme.

3. Implement the programme by training, coaching and mentoring. It is always our aim to assist with the introduction of concepts that will enable 'picking the low hanging fruit' in order to make some quick wins and make our work self funding from the outset. 

This type of our work usually begins with Policy and Strategy development or 'Hoshin Kanri' as it is sometimes known.

The Business Process Management and Business Improvement phase  then involves a mixture of Total Quality Management (TQM), Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing,  Quality Circles or Gemba Kaizen. 

Organisations have been known to do all of this and then get into trouble because they did not take business risk into account and this includes checking the activities of competitors.

We can conduct customer and employee surveys, Assist with Concept Engineering or Six Sigma for Design, ISO 9001:2000 effectiveness and score improvement against the Business Excellence Model and its RADAR approach.


David Hutchins International Core Competencies

The following areas represent our core competencies which are further detailed in the Training section. In fact all of our public courses can also be conducted 'in house'. This would be more economical if you have more than approximately 5 people to train. There is also the added advantage that we can tailor the courses to your specific needs and also offer 'online' subsequent assistance.
For convenience we have listed the key areas below into Strategy, Risk management, Performance Improvement and People. In practice of course, there are strong overlaps between them all.

Risk Management

  • Integrated Management Systems including Quality, Environment and Health and Safety - see Risk Management section of training Courses. We can provide expert highly qualified assistance with the implementation and development of all the concepts listed.
