Op-centre

"Even the most brilliant business strategies fail without the right operational strategy."  So says PRTM's corporate brochure, going on to define a winning operational strategy as something that translates a firm's "direction into operational reality, creating strategic competitive advantage".  That, in a nutshell, is what PRTM sets out to do for its clients: to gain an idea of a firm's overall direction and help them to reach their destination through innovative operational strategies for products, supply chains and customer experience.  Of course, as a consulting firm, PRTM is a little more jargon-tastic than that, as can be seen from its full list of capabilities: "accelerating operational clockspeed, achieving sustainability, developing breakthrough products, driving asset utilization, driving top-line growth, expanding global presence, improving cost structure, managing organizational change, maximizing acquisitions and alliances, navigating regulatory change and strengthening customer loyalty".
