The current corporate world is a complex and intricate web constructed predominantly around Human Capital, Technology, and Individualistic Corporate Asset Bases. Keypoint’s integrated Management Consulting services provide an all-encompassing evaluation of the fundamental requirements of an organisation by breaking down those complexities and facilitating businesses in identifying the positive mechanisms required to ensure the achievement of maximum corporate value, in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

Our services

Keypoint’s human capital asset base is the basis of its strength. We draw upon a deep corporate pedigree that has the diversity, proficiency, and experience to direct our client toward their corporate requirements and allow them to focus on achieving their strategy and realise their goals.

Strategy articulationMany business failures are due to a lack of ability to execute their strategy in a lasting and effective manner. In our role, initially as strategy articulator, we examine our client’s corporate strategy with finite detail, down to the last link in the chain of execution.

Management consulting

Our Management Consulting services ensure our clients are able to continuously evolve their corporate processes in order to meet current market demand and to remain on course towards achieving their short and long term goals.

This provides us and our client with a clear vision to success. Once we complete this exercise we are well positioned to assist clients in implementing their action plans and provide continuous monitoring of their strategic progression.

Feasibility studies & business plansThe most efficient method of determining the value and viability of a potential business venture is through carrying out a feasibility study. This enables businesses to fully assess the long-term potential in a project by examining the strengths and weaknesses involved and how, in both short and long term, mechanisms of a business are affected before actual investment of financial resources. Keypoint’s approach in conducting feasibility studies to assist in answering the most vital questions a business needs to ask, such as:

Have we addressed all possible scenarios? Is the project financially viable? This

foresight ensures avoiding costly mistakes that are often made during the execution of a project, develops solid understanding of what fundamental drivers are, and how they affect a proposed venture’s viable chances of success. Once this is determined, the safest and most cost-effective path to success is identified and communicated

Policies & procedures Well-documented policies and procedures are generally not a visible component but have significant impact on the success of a business, especially those with growing and expanding operations. Well documented policies and procedures bring in consistency across an organisation’s functions and thereby reduce its costs, serve as a reference guide to existing employees and hastens the learning curve for all new employees.

Our assignments typically involve documenting the following:

Operating policies and procedures Human resources policies and procedures Accounting policies and procedures

Keypoint’s approach in documenting policies and procedures is one of partnership and mentorship. We develop a close partnership with our client to gain a deeper understanding of their current policies and processes prevalent in the market place. Keypoint will identify the control framework and unique business factors and compare those against current market benchmarks and market practices that are relevant to the business.

Keypoint’s unique method lies with our ability to bring vast experience coupled with deep local knowledge, enabling us to suggest and recommend policies and procedures that can be adopted for medium-to long-term periods, avoiding the need to undertake frequent reviews and revisions.

Performance improvement – process mappingChange is unavoidable and necessary for survival in today’s perpetually evolving corporate landscape. As businesses grow there is often the tendency to embrace a host of inefficiencies. With a vast number of people, processes, and technology involved in day-to-day activities, businesses fall into a routine of becoming too familiar with these inefficiencies, which ultimately become embedded within an organisation’sframework and often go undetected.

Keypoint’s approach to this condition begins with assessing the organization’s current state by capturing the processes in their current form and validating them with their respective process owners. While carrying out the process mapping procedure, we provide an emphasis on time cost, quality, throughput, technological and procedural bottlenecks and process knowledge.

Market research/surveys With Keypoint’s vast regional network, we can carry out market research and a wide variety of other relevant surveys in Bahrain and the wider MENA region. Our IT consulting team can customise research and analytical tools, and one can expect swift turnaround in terms of outputs.

Agreed-upon proceduresWith qualified accountants we can carry out specific agreed-upon procedure assignments, avoiding implementation of a full audit procedure by providing independent provision of findings to specific business areas. Keypoint’s approach is based on collaborative and mutual agreement on procedures and is intended to provide recipients with a platform to develop their own opinions on a particular area of their business.

Impact assessment studiesImpact assessment studies are typically carried out at the specific request of the client. These studies are constructed around the “what if” scenario framework when assessing any possible positive or negative impact any specific activity may have on an organisation, as a result of its business operation.

At Keypoint, we have extensive experience in carrying out Impact Assessment Studies, at a macro level, with clients such as governmental ministries and major corporations operating on a global scale, and at a micro level, with market-driven small- to medium-enterprises and organisationsoperating on a regional scale.
