"At KGM, our dedication to clients is straightforward: we will go above and beyond to ensure your success."
– Wesley Jay KGM
Our primary focus and passion have always been—and will always be—our clients. The core of KGM is rooted in three fundamental client values:
Our Commitment
The KGM Strategy approach is defined by working with greater intelligence, effort, and effectiveness than you might expect from any consultant. Intelligence means we are dedicated to continuous improvement and ensuring tasks are executed correctly from the outset. Effort means we consistently aim to achieve superior outcomes every time we take on a task or process. Effectiveness means we strive to surpass your expectations and deliver measurable financial benefits.
Partner Engagement
Commitment is also reflected in the depth and breadth of expertise we bring. At KGM, you can be confident that the partner assigned to your project will remain actively involved beyond just the proposal and final report. Our partners spend twice as much time in the field compared to their peers at other consulting firms. A KGM partner brings unmatched experience and value throughout the engagement while serving as a true business ally. We stand out from the crowd and take pride in it.
Collaborative Implementation
KGM Strategy’s hands-on collaboration with your team fosters a renewed and motivated workforce. Our philosophy emphasizes that success cannot be achieved through downsizing alone. Your employees will quickly understand that KGM’s involvement is not a precursor to layoffs. Our experts will demonstrate how our process-driven approach empowers your team to achieve greater results through their own efforts.
Long-Term Partnerships
Our clients are more than just customers—they are our partners. We believe this partnership means enhancing your processes, people, and systems in ways that endure long after the project concludes. The KGM commitment is enduring and comprehensive.
An unwavering commitment to quality execution.
Our methodology is both straightforward and impactful. It’s straightforward because it centers on significantly enhancing your bottom-line outcomes. It’s impactful due to the intricate, interrelated steps that have been refined over our 40+ years of practical application. What sets our methodology apart is its emphasis on several key success factors:
Data Analysis and Benchmarking
We understand the immense potential hidden within data. With a team equipped with the expertise and experience, we delve into the details efficiently and effectively. Our meticulous approach ensures we focus on the right details at the right time, across the appropriate functional areas, to guarantee exceptional results for our clients.
Skill Development and Training
As insights from the data emerge, we provide intensive skill development sessions for your team. We firmly believe that training is the cornerstone of sustained success—mastering it in practice ensures mastery in real-world scenarios. The KGM methodology ensures your team doesn’t just observe our implementation; they gain the ability to carry it forward independently. Our goal is to empower your organization to thrive without us—a claim few consultants can confidently make!
Communicating Your Company’s Vision
A pivotal step in our process is effectively communicating your company’s vision to suppliers or customers. Over the years, we’ve found this step to be crucial for gaining initial alignment and, ultimately, maximizing the impact of our methodology on your project.
We are confident in the effectiveness of our process because, for over 40 years, we have witnessed our clients achieve tangible, lasting improvements in their bottom-line results on every project. This success spans organizations of all sizes, across diverse industries, and within various corporate cultures and structures.
Streamlined Processes
In addition to delivering measurable financial gains, we evaluate and refine your ongoing operations to ensure your team focuses on high-impact activities. Our approach ensures that your employees allocate their time and effort to the most critical areas, avoiding the trap of doing the wrong things more efficiently.
Empowered Workforce
Our hands-on, skill-focused training and collaborative implementation process empower your team to become more capable and self-assured in adopting these new methodologies. The significant outcomes continue as they independently apply these processes long after our engagement ends, further enhancing your productivity and financial performance.
Tangible, Long-Term Results
By concentrating on the operational aspects of your business, the results are quantifiable in real dollars compared to past performance. For instance, since the supply chain typically accounts for 65%-85% of a manufacturer’s cost structure, a 12% reduction in supply chain expenses can lead to a 45%-60% increase in pre-tax profits. Moreover, because your organization retains and implements our methodologies, the benefits are enduring and sustainable over time.
