MEMORi is an acronym for Möbius Emergency Management and Operational Recovery
International.
Möbius
The Möbius strip was first described - almost simultaneously, yet independently - in 1858 by 2 German mathematicians, August F
Möbius and Johann B Listing. The Möbius strip is (in layman’s terms) a circle with a twist. It is probably the best known example of a one-sided surface and exhibits some very curious
characteristics and properties. Some of these properties are revealed when you try to cut the strip vertically. Depending on where it is cut, different (and very surprising!) end results are
obtained.
This symbolises our philosophy and approach to business challenges: often a simple and apparently inconspicuous change can deliver radically different outcomes. We look for the
‘twists’ or slight changes that will ultimately produce surprisingly different - often incredible - results. This is why we measure our success, not by the number of new procedures or the amount of
changes, but simply by focusing on the outcomes/results. By utilising best practice and scientifically sound principles, combined with our varied and extensive experience in various industries in a
global context, we are able to provide significant, yet sustainable, improvements in efficiency, effectiveness and economy.
Emergency Management
Extensive research on management in extreme environments and situations have been conducted in the sphere of Military operations.
Incidents and environments are defined in terms of a framework comprising
Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity.
Whether it is a new business venture struggling to get traction, a remote division in trouble, business unit under-performing, a
project that is failing or any other issue requiring urgent and decisive management intervention, we are ready to step in, analyse the situation and implement the corrective
strategies.
We utilise our vast experience in managing emergency incidents and crisis situations to manage and resolve unique challenges - those
for which the case studes have yet to be written.
Operational Recovery
Business processes are a vital part of any business operation.
By analysing the timeline(s) of different operational activities, we identify the relative value of these activities,
reducing/eliminating ‘idle time’ or ‘non-value-adding’ activities.
These are important indicators for operational improvement and provide new perspectives on performance. Identifying relevant
performance indicators is essential to measuring and improving performance.
International
With our global, multi-cultural expertise and broad experience, we can efficiently and effectively intervene and cover global,
multi-national assignments.
Consulting
The position of a consultant is essential to his contribution: Being 'outside' the situation, he has an objective view, can often
provide insights that are missed because management is too closely involved in the issues at hand. He also has experience of other business challenges and can add value through lateral
solution application and creative problem solving expertise.
We have hands-on experience in active operational and/or executive management under challenging conditions over and above consulting
experience. Accordingly we have an excellent understanding of the realities faced by business organisations. We have worked with a variety of organisations, ranging from sole owners and SMEs to
global, multi-national corporations (FTSE100 and FTSE 250).
Our intervention is always aimed at adding value by supporting the business to achieve its goals, to empower staff
with knowledge and tools to improve their performance. Our focus is to design and implement sustainable change initiatives.
