When faced with change the question arises: Should I get help, and if so from whom?
Before using consultants at all, you first have to decide if your own team can manage the change themselves. If they can, then this is by far the best course to take.
However, there are sometimes good reasons why complementing your team with specialised third party resources can make change quicker and cheaper.
If you do want outside help, and your change relates to FMCG Supply Chain issues – Sequoia should definitely be on your short list.

Why use Sequoia rather than your own team?
|
| | Ultimately all businesses have to decide the right way forward for themselves. Sequoia will work with and through your own team to contribute to this process:
|
| | - Bringing an outside, objective perspective that stimulates your team to ask and think about questions;
- Bringing unrivalled technical and analytical expertise – focused on FMCG issues;
- Transferring our skills and knowledge to your team – to facilitate personal development and underpin lasting business benefit.
|
| | We have addressed most Supply Chain questions many times for many different clients. This means we have:
|
| | - Both depth and breadth of experience of similar issues to yours, with learnings forged in engagements with the best businesses in the sector;
- Templates and processes for how to address the issues, organise the team and get resolution in the most efficient and effective way.
|
| Why use Sequoia rather than another consultancy?
|
| | By focusing on the FMCG industry, we have honed our services to fit FMCG businesses better than those of any other consultancy:
|
| | - Embracing and understanding the complexity of the FMCG sector in terms of materials, SKU ranges, processes and economics;
- Avoiding the unnecessary complexity of prescriptive, assembly-industry based approaches which stem from issues that are not relevant to the FMCG sector;
- Offering tailored solutions to your business rather than rolling out standard answers.
|
| | By staying small but highly focused:
|
| | - You will only deal with the consultants that have done the assignments in our experience statements;
- We do not have any "front men" who are dangled in front of prospective clients but who never subsequently get involved;
- We develop strong personal relationships with your team, supporting them through the assignment and placing a high value on their development;
- We keep overheads down and are able to keep fee rates sensible.
|
| We NEVER offer our services unless we can add significant value. Feel free to discuss possible assignments with us – if we can’t help we will say so.
