:: Management Consulting, Research & Development Services

Where the true expertise is

Aren't your staff giving the best of their resources?
Is your company facing complications to secure a deal or a merger?
Do you need to assess the risks that your company is facing?

We help companies develop the competitive strategy that is right for them and we stay until the strategy is fully implemented. Moreover, we can move the company forward through Program and Project Management consulting and training. We can train your staff in what they need to know to be practical and successful. Our method teaches your employee to identify the knowledge that is most important to manage, share and collaborate.

Mergers/Acquisitions:
Our team is specialized in the analysis of mergers and acquisitions. A precise analysis of the factors involved becomes increasingly complex in transactions where there exists a differentiated product and where a standard financial analysis does not provide enough detail to produce a defensible measure of value. Our knowledge of and ready access to data sources for the detailed geographic and product market analysis often results in defensible assessments of the impact of the merger on price, market power and market value.

Risk Management:
Risk assessment techniques are used to evaluate the panoply of risks inherent in the operation of a global enterprise. Our industry experience and understanding of the inherent causes of risk enable us to present our clients with effective risk mitigation strategies and coherent solution to financial, operational and macroeconomic risks.
Through the application of reasoned economic analysis, our team helps companies successfully manage risks associated with management reporting; credit, interest rate, liquidity and funding; balancing the total cost of risk to financial risk analysis; the spillover effects from global macroeconomic conditions; contract design; investment policies; and earnings and cash flow volatility.

We are known for our high involvement techniques that result in a good strategy

E-Business Strategy Implementation
A source of expertise for adding value to a business. To be sustainable, an e-Strategy must satisfy all the business fundamentals. Our e-Strategy adds business value, not just technical whiz-bang. We have expertise in planning for business success. We have "been there and done that" for businesses when other technology waves arrived to give businesses additional assets and capabilities useful for success (distributed marketing, outsourcing, air-freight, over-night package delivery, phone/fax/e-mail, and now the Internet).

Operations Improvement/Reengineering
We can support your company with the best in class change management/operations integration of your big technology insertion. While the systems integrator focuses on managing the technical risk of the system implementation, we focus on ensuring that the user community is fully ready to use the advantages of the new system at go live.

Project and Program Management Services
Do you have a list of critical business initiatives or projects that absolutely must get done to succeed in the marketplace? Most companies know what those "hot projects" are, but lack the tools, methods and skilled resources for getting them done. We provide Project and Program Management Services to get -and keep - your company going on a contract basis, working under your direction with our training, methods and tools.

Our team not only knows first hand how to design a shared services organization, but also knows how to manage the organizational changes that are necessary to take advantage of the shared services concept.

Practical Knowledge Management
UPSI has a proven track record of helping companies to achieve dramatic improvements in their businesses through Practical Knowledge Management.

We help clients improve everything from identifying the knowledge that is most important to manage the company and retain the most knowledgeable employees, to technical architecture for knowledge sharing and collaboration.
