BUSINESS TURNAROUND SOLUTIONS

Surviving and Thriving in Times of Uncertainty

At some point, most organizations will ask themselves the following key questions!

Where are we now and why?
Where do we want to be and by when?
How best will we get there?

SAS’ abilities to quickly assimilate and objectively analyse large quantities of information, drill down to root causes, discover cause and effect relationships and to use innovative tools and methodologies will help de-clutter critical information, answer the previous fundamental questions and assist you in setting new direction for sustainable business gains.

SUPPLY CHAIN CAPABILITY DEVELOPMENT

High Performance Supply Chains Delivering Value

The procurement function is critically positioned as a key upstream component in the ultimate customer-facing delivery process. This means a need to always be fully aligned to the dynamic needs of the business (both strategically and operationally).

For procurement to truly be seen as a strategic partner in the business helping to consistently deliver on the business mission, a more strategic approach needs to be adopted to ensure a holistic and fully integrated procurement function that delivers maximum value.

Testimonial by Dr Andre J Parker

I have known Frank as an associate since 2004 during which time I have grown to value and respect him as a professional with unquestionable integrity and a work ethic which engenders solid trust. Frank is exceptionally well qualified, highly intelligent and demonstrates superb competence in every situation and challenge brought his way. Frank is a skilled Strategy Facilitator and has demonstrated over and again his ability to facilitate complex strategies at executive level using advanced approaches and technology he has mastered. Frank’s insights and wisdom in advising on organisation systems and change comes from years of practical experience and insights gained as an associate. Feedback from clients, without exception, affirm Frank as an exceptional value-adding individual – which is what he is to me as an associate.

Testimonial by Dr Craig Voortman

Frank is a smart ethical man and will no doubt be a value-add to a company needing his consulting skills and wisdom. Wisdom is a rare commodity these days...much rarer than gold or platinum.

Testimonial by Chimae Goncalves

This testimonial serves to confirm that Frank Susini undertook the development of the entire suite of Procurement Policies for the Goldfields South Africa Group in 2012/2013. As a critical component of governance and risk management requirements, Frank’s exceptional procurement and industry experience in this area was crucial to achieving a suite of coherent and integrated policies that would provide the basis for effective management of the Procurement discipline. Frank’s valuable and practical experience in Procurement, Project Management, Change Management and People Management were key to the successful conclusion of this project. It was a pleasure to work with Frank as a consummate professional who was dedicated to not only meeting our needs, but to engendering an effective working relationship. Frank is therefore recommended with confidence as a value-adding strategic advisor.

Testimonial by Andy Cook

When our business was going through difficult times, Frank’s input as consultant was invaluable. He had all the business skills required to correctly diagnose what the most urgent issues were, and also made recommendations as to how we could turn the situation around. Having implemented his recommendations (which restored health to our ailing enterprise), Frank was then able to help us with redefining our short and medium term strategies. His unique ability to cut through the clutter and find the underlying source of problems is of infinite value to any enterprise, and his strategic thinking and planning skills are invaluable. It is therefore without hesitation that I can highly recommend Frank as a strategy specialist and business coach to anyone requiring trustworthy and discreet consulting services.

Testimonial by Judy van Dam

I attended the Strategic Development Programme run by Frank and his partner in 2012. The programme was both thought-provoking and practical at the same time. The outcome was a definition and plan for my new business. Frank is an excellent and imaginative facilitator and a very experienced senior business person and it was this combination that made the programme so successful. I was particularly grateful to Frank for assisting me afterwards with a financial model for my new business. I can highly recommend Frank.

Testimonial by Sandy de Haas

had a dream and without Frank's expertise coaching me through the process I would not have been able to conceptualize it in the detail needed to give it wings and enable it to fly. His vast and varied experience was invaluable to the process and his patience and good humour made my exponential learning curve truly fun. Communication is clearly one of his strengths and his sincere encouragement helped me not to give up when I felt overwhelmed, while continually assuring me that it was possible. The value he added cannot be easily quantified and his role in the project was and still is indispensable. Going forward I am happy that he continues to partner with us during the various phases of the project and I am so excited to see the growth, not only in the project but also in my capability and capacity as he continues to coach me.

Testimonial by Bernie van Niekerk

Frank Susini is a highly experienced consultant and facilitator and has been one of our strategic partners since 2005. I have been pleased to work with him at both a professional and personal level. His real world knowledge and skill set coupled with a thorough understanding of business processes and strategy have been an invaluable resource and we have been proud to count him as 'one of us' over the years. As a testimony to this, Frank has worked with numerous of our clients over the years and has received high praise and accolades from them. He conducts himself astutely and professionally at all times, is well prepared, responsive and resourceful. With his strong experience and background in both consulting and training, he was able to authoritatively draw on much relevant anecdotal, practical and theoretical information to add richness to our engagements. He is approachable and personable, enthusiastic and has a good sense of humour, balancing the need to drive results with occasional light hearted moments. Frank will no doubt add substantial value in any engagement to ensure that his client's needs are more than met. We have been privileged to be able to work with Frank over the years and he comes highly recommended

Testimonial by Rod Ward

Frank Susini provided a consulting assignment to my Group Procurement Management and Supervisory team in 2012. This assignment included both a Management Consulting aspect as well as Training interventions. My team at the time represented from Executive level to Procurement Managers, Team Leaders and Supervisors. The consultancy and its application therefore had to varied and suitable for the audience’s comprehension and more importantly application. Frank achieved these goals with success and this intervention resulted in a real upgrade of the quality of my team from both African Bank and Ellerines. He is knowledgeable on the subject matter, and has significant practical and executive experience in this profession to make a difference. In addition his academic qualifications and appetite ensure that the subject matter delivered is on par with best-in-breed procurement and supply chain practices globally. I am happy to endorse the consulting and training interventions provided by Frank Susini.
