In today’s dynamic global market place where companies are asked to demonstrate balanced performance along economic, social, and environmental directions, optimisation of processes and capabilities is becoming increasingly important. Total Corporate Optimisation solutions consist of leading edge consultancy services and customisable Business Intelligence applications aimed to provide clients a real choice on formulating an optimisation project that suits their specific requirements and characteristics and delivers fast return on investment and long term value. Business optimisation is first and foremost dependent on understanding the company in terms of its characteristic features, its behaviour and its performance and the way it interacts with the external environment particularly clients and competition. Early developments in the 80s concentrated on the strategic frameworks which modelled the competitive environment and suggested strategies according to the position of the company in that environment. However, it was quickly recognised that the rate at which an organisation is able to respond to external changes will typically be slower than the rate of external change. The outcome of the response lag or strategic drift is that the organisation does not satisfy the prevailing market needs which results in unacceptable performance. A company is essentially a dynamic system that consumes or utilise resources to transform an input to an output. The output contributes some ‘value’ to some wider system; this being the company itself or the wider system such as region or country or global development. If the output is not carefully monitored and the transformation process controlled accordingly the output value will be inadequate; there will be output errors and system instabilities. Further more if the system is not designed to deliver its performance targets, the necessary adjustments may become difficult to implement and could cause performance instabilities. The TCO approach is aimed to provide optimised options for the organisational system and then to provide operating solutions to ensure proper control of the business performance.
