Metapraxis
Helping you manage the future
CEOs, CFOs and other Top Team executives are charged with the task of improving the future performance of their businesses. Metapraxis helps our clients to achieve this in several complementary ways:
Transitional Management Information
• Are you making major business decisions based on information that is missing, incomplete or arrives too late to be useful?
• Are your finance staff struggling to cope with labour-intensive spreadsheets?
• Are your people spending a disproportionate amount of their time producing data rather than analysing business performance?
• Is your business involved in a major reorganisation or acquisition which is adding further stress to current management reporting processes?
• Does your company have an IT project aimed at delivering better management information, but with a timeframe measured in several years?
Metapraxis specialises in providing fast-acting Transitional Management Information, making more effective use of the data that is already available in your organisation. We work for CEOs and CFOs who need to improve management information immediately, whilst they await the delivery of a longer-term in-house project to provide a permanent solution.
Business Flight Simulator
Your company cannot achieve its full potential unless all your key people understand the rules of business financial management. In conjunction with CIMA and the BCS we have launched a radical new management training technique called the Business Flight Simulator. This is a fast-track financial qualification for non-accountants that enables participants to build a virtual business over the Internet and to experience at first hand the crucial difference between declaring a profit and generating actual cash.
"This new course provides a fantastic combination of documentation, on-line simulation and face-to-face presentation with great perspective. Thank you for an experience I will never forget!" VP of major US electronics group.
Modelling business strategies
Almost every major business creates an annual budget, but a budget is not the same as a living, breathing business model that enables you to answer those "What-if?" questions. We work with your sales, operations and finance team members to create a highly visual interactive model of your business that enables the Board to set the agenda rather than to be the recipients of a consolidated static budget.
Identifying trends and risks
How confident are you of meeting or beating your current year-end forecasts? Have you spotted the growth turning points in your key product lines? Could you be at risk of issuing a profit warning? Is there a danger that you might breach your banking covenants? We have developed visual diagnostics that enable our clients to identify high risk forecasts at a glance and to implement corrective action before subsidiaries' problems translate into group-wide headaches.
