Assets Management & Availability
Fixed assets lifecycle management. Statistically speaking, only 30% of total assets are actually accounted for in most organizations, leaving 70% of the investment at risk. In a complex and dynamic organization, the critical assets usually represent only 10% of the total assets, focusing only on this 10% is risking the entire business to fail.
Tracking and listing assets is only the start of the process; an enterprise risk matrix or ERM is required to enable informed risk assessment and criticality assignment for assets. Usually, assets criticalities are based on accounting bases such as initial cost, depreciation (if known such as the case for linear assets) and asset failure costs. However, a detailed analysis is required on the assets criticality in relation to business continuity and impact of failures.
New Venture investments usually focus on estimating NPV, IRR or payback and forecast cash flow to understand ROI, nevertheless, cash flow estimates are valid only during asset lifecycle. Informed cash flows forecast will require thorough understanding of the asset life-cycle, which could be best represented by “Total Life-cycle Asset Management”. This model covers asset classes and associated asset life-cycle phases
Market Analysis & Intelligence Services
The ability to present business plans and ideas in accurate and effective manner would be the first step. New Ventures’ challenges, especially in complex and high-risk markets raise concerns on the quality of the survey data and market information. Organisations are encouraged to source information from multiple directions and channels during the planning phase. The ability to have a step-back and review of the market conditions and inputs, variables, flags with neutral and unbiased eye is important to control risks and address priorities. The Revision should extend not only to market data and surveys, but also to intelligences and assumptions to allow a complete market and stakeholders’ analysis. The utilization of available outsourced-intelligences and price database is important, but the ability to discuss those details with domain experts who has access, market knowledge and insight is much more important to the accuracy and the validation of the plan. Nevertheless; complementing the plan with professional structure addressing critical business components, Strategic Risks and potential gaps is equally important to the plan readiness and future results.
