Platform Our Services: Op2i provides a range of services that includes
consultancy, facilitation and interim management services and the provision of
tools and systems that help organisations develop and implement business
transformation programmes. We also work with service providers to transform
their business, helping develop new revenue streams and enter new markets. Our
services help management and board directors focus on the matters of greatest
importance to the business, promoting more informed and strategic debate in the
boardroom and allowing the business to benefit fully from the skills, wisdom and
experience that resides within their organisations. We help our clients through:
Mentoring, advising and supporting boards and individuals responsible for
championing business transformation, including strategic outsourcing of their
business functions or processes. Facilitating, resolving and mitigating issues
and disputes that inevitably arise between in major change programmes and in
particular outsourcing. The development or refinement of integrated governance
programmes to extend the span of management oversight, control and insight
across the organisation and across boundaries of sourcing “partners” operations.
Providing the systems and tools required for the development of a joint
governance system and the development of trust between the parties. [Top] Our
Specialisation We help organisations transition and transform their business
through better strategic governance and through global strategic sourcing. By
transitioning we mean managing the move between current approaches to business
and a desired future state of business (including: people, processes,
technology, markets, products, finance) whilst embracing new opportunities,
tools and talent on a global basis. By transforming we mean adapting business
models, structures and value chains to compete and seek new opportunities
afforded by convergence (changes in economic, regulatory, competitive,
geographic, customer or technology conditions). By strategic governance we mean
an organisation-wide framework that leads to good management, good performance,
good stewardship of shareholder or public funds, good stakeholder engagement
and, ultimately, good business performance and outcomes for customers and
citizens. Strategic governance enables an organisation to pursue its vision
effectively as well as underpinning that vision with mechanisms for control,
oversight, accountability and management of risk and compliance. By Global
strategic sourcing we mean the wide range of sourcing activity involving:
external sourcing (outsourcing), whether onshore, nearshore, offshore, shared
services or multi-sourcing; or internal sourcing activity including contracting
in, transfering in and delegation (insourcing), in a globally distributed
organisational context. [Top] Our Expertise We provide thought leadership and
professional management services associated with business transformation,
sourcing strategies and technology driven change. We have experienced strategic

with strong quantitative analysis and leading-edge right practice thinking
together with proprietary tools and systems facilitates the identification of
opportunities for business improvement, and the assessment of possibilities for
externally sourcing processes and/or functions as a value creation initiative.
Where appropriate we utilise external sourcing as a means of business
transformation, to bring about large and sustained business improvement:
reducing costs, accessing relevant skills, improving efficiency and enabling
organisations to concentrate on what is core to their business. We focus on the
right practice for your business rather than the best practice in your industry,
as the right practice is the best practice for you. We anticipate and take
advantage of the wealth of opportunity now available to our clients through
better strategic governance, business transformation and global strategic
sourcing, by working with them to reinvent their businesses with practical,
well-conceived and flexible business strategies implemented with robust
strategic governance processes and systems. Op2i has several lateral

functions of a company. Harnessing our relationships, extensive industry
knowledge, strategic expertise, implementation and commercial skills, we
