Profectus turns profit potential into profit performance for tech companies.
Get in touchOnly a few companies structurally achieve their full profit potential. A prime example is Dutch chip manufacturer NXP, performing for five years in a row at profit levels above 33% of revenue.
Inspired by their growth in profitability, and by my experience in achieving it, I created a model based on the critical activities required. With this model, Profectus supports tech companies in achieving their full profit potential.
Sustainable high profits are the result of a journey, not a single hike. It takes differentiating products, a highly engaged team, tough choices and sharp navigation.
Profectus literally means the progress along the journey. Let's go.
Profectus turns profit potential into profit performance in four steps.
Determine the potential profit levels.
Analyze root causes of the gap with realized profits.
Create a plan to reduce the gap with the Profectus Model.
Drive the plan forward and turn actions into measurable results.
The Profectus Profit Improvement Model is about Organization, Margin Improvements and Navigation.
An effective organization requires a clear Structure, strong Culture and Discipline. A highly engaged team with clear accountability, rules and processes enables sustainable performance.
Mainly focused on management of Portfolio, Pricing and Cost. Portfolio choices yield the highest profit improvements.
Sharp navigation by proper performance measures leads to the modeled goal.
The journey to achieve profit potential involves multiple hikes. Profit hikes include the following services:
These services are performed in sequential order. The first hike may take 6 to 12 months. Successive hikes could focus on enhancing the plan, re-prioritization of actions and execution of the plan.
Tailored to customer-specific needs, my role could be program manager, coaching consultant, or combined with an interim finance assignment.
Over the past 20 years I have worked on a trajectory from substantial losses to sustainable and superior profit levels. I identified the critical activities behind this success and translated them into a proven model for unlocking profit potential.
Through Profectus, I now want to help other companies achieve similar transformations, with a focus on tech companies that have grown strongly but perform substantially below their true profit potential.
