Operations & Restructuring

Executives of many companies strive to improve the operating efficiency and transparency of the business activity through business process optimization. If your business does not yield expected profits, perhaps you suffer from an inefficient business process design. Such inefficiency is often attributed to non-transparent interaction system, duplicating functions, lack of clear segregation of process ownership responsibilities between employees, shortage of control procedures for efficient risk management, and non-standardised execution of business processes. Our specialists can help you develop business processes tailored to meet your objectives and facilitate their continuous development.

Optimization of business processes will lead to:

• Increased transparency of business processes for managers, auditors, external partners and investors
• Clear and understood procedures for interaction between departments and employees, preventing overlaps of functions or gaps in processes
• Standardised business processes and increased operational efficiency across all entities of the holding company as well as within the company’s internal departments
• Simplified training for new employees
• Clear controls for maximising the efficiency of risk management and facilitating internal audit

Companies and holdings ranging from medium-sized enterprises to large corporations have started restructuring their businesses to better comply with market trends and business strategies. We provide corporate restructuring services in the following areas:

Optimization of asset portfolios

We review companies’ asset portfolios and organisational structures to improve their overall business value and compliance with their business development strategy.

Optimization of management systems

Our team helps a company’s executive identify gaps in management system structures and eliminate those gaps along the following criteria:

• Meeting strategic objectives, including going public and improving corporate governance
• Maintaining flexibility in a changing business environment
• Facilitating a prompt decision-making process and the optimisation of management costs

We also make recommendations on the structure and function of the corporate centre, the organisation of business units and the distribution of authority between different management levels. We help establish management practices in accordance with Kazakhstan and international standards and take into account the specific features of a client company.

Assessing the impact of restructuring on business value

An important criterion for effectively evaluating the restructuring process is enhancing business value. We substantiate our recommendations and assess their potential impact on business value by creating long-term financial and strategic models and analysing the value of comparable companies.
