Accelerate growth at the lowest possible cost: Unlock the power of working capital
A company can free up between 10 to 20% of its invested working capital by setting a clear strategy, effectively communicating, and assigning ownership in managing working capital. How can leadership teams prioritizing profitability ang growth establish the necessary guardrails and processes to prevent cash from being tied up in working capital?
A successful approach to working capital requires an enterprise-wide strategy, increased collaboration, and clearly defined metrics aligned with the enterprise’s overall objectives. Capital should be put to work – having it sit in receivables or inventory without actively working for you is not productive. It’s cash that should be in the bank.
Business leaders need the right visibility and insights to start putting its capital to work. In this guide, we cover the benefits of unlocking the potential of working capital and suggest a three-step approach that provides insights and facts to manage the current ecosystem and position your business for future growth. Additionally, we introduce a self-assessment checklist you can use to determine whether symptoms in your working capital/cash flow management would benefit from our three-step approach.
