Organisation Review

The Business Challenge:

• A government enterprise had established a business model based on significant capital expenditure
• The expected cash flows arising from new capital expenditures were not realised

Approach adopted by Direct Focus

Phase 1: Research and review

• DirectFocus implemented a review of business strategy and financial commitments, including an analysis of the industry which the government enterprise was located (the leisure industry)

Phase 2: Submission of written report

• DirectFocus provided a written report outlining its finding to the customer
• A short term financial bail out was recommended
• Recommendations regarding the strategic issues involved were also included in the written report

Outcomes to Customer

• The customer was provided with clear and validated information outlining the full extent of the problem being faced
• The customer was able to use this report to make a case for a financial injection into the enterprise
• The financial investment was successfully concluded as a direct result of Direct Focus?s diligent work
• An on-going review of the industry was initiated with the view of ensuring a future financial bail out would not be required
