Cluster Programmes

With globalisation and growing consumer demands, Emerging Enterprises(EE) are forced to scale up to meet global standards and stiff competition. However, many organisations lack the internal knowledge and expertise to scale up. Access to practical information is difficult and expensive.

Cluster Programmes are an initiative to enable Emerging Enterprises to overcome business challenges and achieve the next level of growth.

A group of non competing organisations with similar challenges are clustered together under an anchor. Tools and techniques are taught and implemented in the organisation.


Cluster Methodology:

The focus of the cluster is on implementation and transferring capability. We follow a robust system that involves an as-is study to understand the overall health of the organisation, an in-depth diagnostic to delve deeper into an area of concern or opportunity, handholding to make the transformation through Business Enabling and Business Mentoring sessions. The end outcome is that the organisation achieves the next level of maturity and capability is transferred in a particular domain.


Benefits of the Cluster:

  • Hand holding to traverse the journey of change
  • Capability enhanced after the association
  • Robust systems and mechanisms in place leading to standardisation
  • Speed of implementation is fast.
