Why
Discovery?
Discovery
operates from the principle that company equity (capital)
is a scarce resource and the lifeblood of any organisation.
Therefore, from the outset Discovery applies stringent financial
controls with the flexibility of business
case approval for all capital spend (if it does not contribute
within set returns on capital and payback periods, the money
will not be spent). Discovery also holds firm the belief
that there will be no "holy cows" and focuses on
growing and nurturing "value creators" and eliminating
"value destroyers".
Financial
Integration
Discovery will provide a detailed model of your business
from a financial and costing perspective. This will provide
for relevant and effective decision making using 'best of
breed' financial systems and costing models. |
