Process Reviews: Any for any large organization, talent supply chain brings its own share of operational, legal, financial & reputational risks. Across the process lifecycle, these risks come in different form and shape. While your management team is fully capable of dealing with them, operational priorities take most of their time resulting in lack of mindshare for larger issues. What you require at this time is a third eye view and someone who brings a fresh perspective to the table. Orcapod can act as your risk management partner working on pay-when-you-use model. This avoids the need to hire these skills internally and helps in augmenting high competence capacity at short notice.

- Build and update performance dashboards reflecting internal and external commitments for providing performance status on each one of them. This includes demand management, fulfilment targets, Service Level Agreements and Key Performance Indicators.
- Locking in ‘performance roadmaps’ to internal contracts and ensuring measurement parameters provide an objective view of existing status.
Orcapod uses highly successful measurement methodology that divides each activity into various steps of doneness and Earned Value build on these steps providing an objective view of current status. Successfully executed, it not only helps companies meet or beat business goals, but also embeds implementation capabilities into the organization.

Following a merger, leadership is under time pressure to prioritize integration points, identify synergies and ensure that the integration leads to the desired value creation. Crucial questions that leadership ask:
What are our critical success factors and KPIs to define a winning integration?
What are the functions that can be quickly integrated with minimal risk and how we can focus on realizing synergies?
How can we integrate different cultures and manage the conflict and not to lose our key talent?
How do we keep our people focused on business and customers and not get distracted with the integration process.
