3. WhyAuxiliumSolutions? Is your organisational structure working well? Have you been working with the same operational responsibilities, services, co-workers, subcontractors, partners and suppliers for a considerable time? Are the financial results as you expected them to be? My experience has taught me that companies in this comforting position perhaps benefit most from a refreshing view on their organisational structure. Stagnating and working with people who are set in their ways is regressing. Are the charges for operational advice/ screening not included in your budget? Then this must mean that you have not included additional revenues, optimisations and savings either. The income always amply covers the expenditure. In addition, an operational audit/screening of your organisational structure can be performed quickly and provides quick potential results. Various prepared screening packages are available and they can be illustrated informatively and free of any engagement.
