Independent. Intelligent. Informed.
Why Geojan?
World-class business intelligence and performance management for small and mid-cap organisations
Why does one business fail while another prospers and grows? In almost every case it’s because it has not succeeded in aligning behaviours with the strategic goals of the organisation.
Businesses typically measure performance against meeting sales and / or budgetary targets. Such targets are set using forecasts based on information drawn from diverse sources. A strategic plan is then put in place to meet the objectives of the business.
So far, so good. But if the strategic objectives of your organisation do not connect meaningfully with the behaviours and expectations of individual departments and employees, or if those objectives are based on flawed intelligence, then problems are likely to occur.
To meet targets consistently it is critical to align behaviours with performance. This means effectively communicating strategy across the entire organisation, including external stakeholders, and then reviewing this strategy at regular intervals to pre-empt ‘operational drift’. This is where Geojan comes in…
We focus on strategy execution; solutions, not services. We have the expertise to help you align your financial goals with behaviours and expectations at every level of your business to implement rapid organisational change and drive profitability.
A genuinely independent consultancy
“Highly creative yet workable solutions… ability to listen, rigorous and tenacious project management skills.”
M. Lemieux, SAP, Paris, France
With a business network spanning 40 countries, we work with our clients on a retained or ad hoc basis to deliver high quality performance management business intelligence services. We offer the same level and quality of consultancy enjoyed by multi-nationals and large-cap organisations, but with the focus on small and mid-cap businesses.
All Geojan consultants have extensive operational backgrounds within ‘Big Four’ environments – such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Ernst & Young and KPMG, enabling them to bring world-class expertise to the benefit of your business.
The big difference is that you make a typical cost saving of 50% over using larger consultancies.
And because we aren’t tied to any single vendor, we’re able to offer genuinely ‘agnostic’ advice on the most appropriate technology solutions for your business.
“Highly persistent, logical and meticulous… exceptional problem solving skills…turning concepts into practical solutions.”
R. Simpson, Strategy Director, BT Group, London, UK
Tired of lengthy and obsolete budgets?
The partnership approach
When you employ Geojan you can expect to work with trusted advisers who will communicate with your people on a personal level.
Rather than drafting in armies of graduate trainees to work on your account, we use highly experienced, fully-qualified specialists who will possess first-hand knowledge of your industry and the ability to understand your needs in a wider business context.
Working under the close personal guidance of founder and managing director Eric Giroux, Geojan consultants have wide-ranging knowledge of programme management and strategic business planning, and possess the essential maturity and gravitas to gain buy-in with senior managers and decision makers.
“Fine combination of competence, patience, planning and organisation and industry knowledge.”
S. Sethi, Vice- President, MasterCard Worldwide, London, UK
An investment, not a cost
By enabling organisations to make more effective use of their working capital and assets we deliver a significant return on investment. Our clients have seen revenue grow by as much as 40%, together with increases in profit margins by 10 to 20% over a period of four months, directly as a result of our input in increasing performance visibility, redeploying resources and reducing costs.
No two businesses are identical, and it would therefore be impossible to guarantee results. But balanced against our outstanding track record and the relatively modest cost of retaining Geojan’s services, you can be confident that our input is likely to deliver a capital return far in excess of your investment.
How do we deliver?
Our approach typically consists of four practical steps.
- Appraise and formulate
- Alignment
- Integrate
- Dynamic performance cycle
We begin at either a leadership or functional level, depending on the needs of your business:
