The CEOPS® Way For SME’s October 2014

2014 CEONAV bvba - All Rights Reserved

Our Vision re CEOPS®• To stay successful entreprises will have to adapt themselves to a fast changing and increasingly complex business

environment.

• Our belief is that organisations will only succeed if they transform themselves so that they :

– Perceive earlier the signals and trends on which to capitalise

– Decide smarter regarding which resources to allocate to which project

– Execute faster upon the set strategy

• Hereto new capabilities will be required at the level of

– Leadership and people

– Processes ie strategic thinking processes

– Information technology & data

– Collaboration & communication

Whereas SME’s do possess inherently the right dynamics to compete in a fast changing business

environment, they lack proficiency at strategic thinking level to sustain growth.

With CEOPS® we enable SME’s to “upgrade” their strategic thinking capabilities and play in

a higher/faster league.

Or in other words make proficient strategic thinking accessible and affordable to SME’s,

leaving time to focus on the core business, whilst keeping in pace with a fast changing

business environment.
