At Altimus our goal is simple. We work with our clients to extract meaningful insight into their data – Higher Business Intelligence.

This can take the form of high-level executive dashboards and scorecards, designed to give summary information on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and appropriate trends both within a Company and from its operating environment.

We also provide tools to allow analysts and managers to slice and dice their data, and publish their reports and analyses via Email or an intranet to their stakeholders.

Our view is that knowing the answer to ‘what’ questions should be straightforward – what were my sales by region; what was my profit by business unit. By simplifying answering the ‘What’ questions we free up executives and managers to address the much more compelling ‘Why’ questions. Collecting and analyzing data is important, however it needs to lead to better understanding and ultimately quicker and more effective decision-making.

Most transformation programmes fail as a result of focusing on “what” needs changing, whilst failing to understand “how to” effect the changes, as well as the internal capability of the business to make them sustainable.

ConsultAvila’s approach is to start with a rigorous review of your business and its challenges, focusing in understanding the underlying causes, not just the symptoms, whilst delivering real solutions and significant results at pace.

We work with our clients, transforming their business by restructuring operations and business processes, whilst developing new ways of working and leadership capability, resulting in real and sustainable improvements of performance.

Dr Jose Guzman-Bello, ConsultAvila’s owner and founder, and Dr Andrew Kearns are business transformation professionals. Dr Andrew Kearns is an expert in managing and executing organisational change. Both, Andrew and Jose have over 25 years of experience in developing and delivering major change programmes, working at executive level with business facing complex and difficult issues. Before moving into consultancy, they held positions at executive levels in global organisations involved in the highly competitive automotive, aerospace, defence and industrial products sectors.

Our approach actively involves the client at all stages of the process, reducing consultancy costs and resulting in:

• Superior transfer of technical and change management skills
• Sustainable and tangible benefits, minimising the risk of "slippage"
• Rapid pay back and exceptional value-for-money
