Saviant's industrial consulting framework

Solving your right problem with our proven consulting framework

Industrial enterprises continuously focus on how to generate more revenue, improve the bottom line, and increase company’s long-term value. However, it takes a lot of analysis and decision-making to identify the right opportunities within their value chain to realize any of the above goals. And there’s a need to use frameworks to structure the analysis and arrive at any conclusions.

At Saviant, our teams follow a well-proven, industry-acclaimed consulting framework to help our customers identify the right problems, their cause-effect correlations, and define the best-fit solutions that are feasible for implementation.

Saviant’s industrial consulting framework includes 5 parts – Problem identification, Prioritization & setting boundaries, Risk analysis, Generating solution components, and Synthesizing findings. Let’s take a walk-through each one.

1. Problem identification - Are we handling the right problem?

1. Identifying and defining the problem
   • Identification of real problem and not the symptoms
   • Identification of the missing information which obscures real problem
   • Identification of critical success factors
2. Understanding and validating the problem
   • Understanding the environmental factors of the problem (Outside In)
   • Identifying why the problem came and initial pointers of solving it.
   • Stakeholder discussion
   • Business and Functional Best Practices
   • As- Is process

2. Prioritization and setting boundaries - Are we breaking down the problem into logical components, identifying high impact levers and aligning those to customer expectations?

• Understanding problem components
• Understanding high impact levers
• Defining ‘What to do’ and ‘What not to do’

3. Risk analysis - Are we ensuring no collateral issues?

• Identifying hidden assumptions
• Identifying uncertainty and unforeseen Impacts
• Making sure that solving one problem does not create another

4. Generating solution components - Are we choosing not only the solution but the best solution?

• Brainstorming
• Reverse brainstorming

5. Synthesizing Findings - Are we able to combine all findings into a logical structure to highlight required insights?

• Assemble solution components
• Link back to the problem statement
