Program Innovation Index

Arcus has created and implemented a benchmark innovation index for organizational performance management. The index enables firms to benchmark the performance of their organzation, processes and programs against their peers.

The unique methodology combines historical data to define the program/product/service mix and how it compares with the best in class performers. A workshop format is included to engage the entire management team. Clients like Kraft Foods have leveraged the Benchmark Innovation Index for competitive advantage.

WHY AN ROI STRATEGY AUDIT?

Responding to today’s challenging business environment, many organizations have developed tools designed to demonstrate the value, or return-on investment (ROI) of their solutions. But measurement tools alone usually fail to deliver the hoped-for results. They represent a static, tactical approach to a problem that is, by its nature, dynamic and strategic.

As a result, many senior managers feel that their ROI programs need improvement. Yet most do not know how to proceed. An ROI Strategy Audit is a comprehensive, systematic, and objective examination of a company’s – or business unit’s – ROI programs, and those programs’ environment, objectives, strategies, and activities. It provides the knowledge to help management improve capital performance, build long-term relations with customers, and generate increased profitability.
