Organizational Effectiveness



Clarity of vision, measurable goals, communication and managerial processes that drive execution are the core attributes of a successful organization. Combining these attributes with leadership qualities that engage, excite and align team members create GREAT organizations. Aspera partners with its clients to provide an independent assessment. We evaluate organization structure, management processes & systems and leadership to identify opportunities to improve business performance. Aspera goes beyond defining these opportunities and will work directly with clients to implement change. We utilize a variety of engagement techniques to align people, processes and systems to ensure changes implemented are sustainable and effective.



Strategic Assessment



Understanding your business's competitive position and executing on a well defined strategy differentiates high performing business from others. Aspera has found that many businesses fail to have a formal, disciplined strategy review process. We work with clients to implement a disciplined approach. We will challenge your perspective on your market and how you define your customer. We utilize a variety of methods to define a market and frame a client's competitive position. The output of this work enables our clients to visualize a number of strategies. Outcomes ranges from new product development programs, licensing opportunities, partnerships, acquisitions and divestures.



Recapitalization, Financing & Work-Outs



Aspera works with its clients to assess their financial position relative to their business goals. We will assess a client's cash capability and will restructure capital to better align to their goals. We have experience working with distressed companies and can facilitate the placement of new sources of equity and debt. We also appreciate that individual business owners have a variety of needs. Aspera can create a capital structure to drive growth or support your retirement & estate planning needs.



Business Process Re-engineering



Aspera has re-engineered business processes involved with customer service, sales, product marketing, supply chain, manufacturing and human resources. We understand that any process begins with a clear definition of customer requirements. Aspera builds a "bottoms up" process that is aligned with a client's goals and its customer needs. Integral to any re-engineering effort will be managing change. Aspera differentiates itself by using a change management process that facilitates acceptance and advocacy with key stakeholders to assure the implementation of a change is successful.
