This will create results in national interest if all can adopt SMART methodologies, from entrepreneurs to Government hierarchy,\u201d StrEdge Advisory Group Director\/CEO&nbsp; Sumedha Wijesekera said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>StrEdge, which brings hands-on experience restructuring multiple businesses from corporates to SMEs, believes that a proper analysis of the existing banking finance structures of a business cannot be undermined.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe rising finance costs and all the macroeconomic constraints coupled with prevailing uncertainties have warranted restructures from both the business perspective as well as that of the bankers,\u201d said Wijesekera.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a business perspective, such restructuring would enable solutions for cash flow constraints, save bank interest cost, promote sustainable growth and more importantly, businesses to be future-ready to capture the market potential in the next upward curve of the economy, he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the bank\u2019s perspective, restructuring helps to offer better structures with effective monitoring to match the business requirements, prevent NPLs and build up strong and more profitable relationships by being able to act as an advisor in this setting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, it is very important to revisit the costing of goods and services in any organisation in view of increased raw materials prices, exchange rates, finance cost, loss of sales, diminishing margins and loss of capacity. Introductions of dynamic price mechanisms for each product and service channel of today\u2019s businesses, will give a lot of clarity for the leadership to manage them successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The StrEdge Group, which has in depth experience in BPR covering multiple industries including both banks and non-banking financial institutions, believes that SMART restructuring will help organisations re-align their processes with present and future demands, says StrEdge Group Director Janaka Epasinghe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current demand to achieve more with less resources, has triggered this as a need, he adds. \u201cEliminating waste, increasing the service levels, reduction in costs, increased visibility, internal and external customer satisfaction and future-readiness are few of the results that can be derived with this activity. Furthermore, this will strengthen the sustainability of any organisation,\u201d Epasinghe added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current economic constraints have taken a huge toll on the human resource which is the heart of any organisation, compelling to revisit the HR pillar for sustainability and growth, observes Epasinghe who notes that if organisations are not in a position to compensate with economic benefits, it&#8217;s always important to bring other interventions to maintain productivity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe biggest bonus here is that even the workforce is ready to embrace changes despite the current challenging environment with a resilient mindset, which the leadership needs to capitalise on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The foreign currency constraints and the lack of resources due to the brain drain in the IT industry have pushed certain organisations to successfully opt for less expensive technology solutions with the help from external and internal experts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese interventions will give results within a shorter period of time with a very low budget. Empowering the staff, cost reductions, visualisation, better service standards and increased profitability are some of the major benefits of these SMART technology interventions within a company,\u201d said StrEdge Tech Solutions Director\/CEO Udaya Samaradivakara.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will also help them to address multiple urgent needs from a people-process-finance and technology perspective, without waiting until times get better and this certainly will be a SMART option, added Samaradivakara.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a climate of unprecedented economic challenges, restructuring of businesses, from public enterprises to SMEs is critical, says the leadership of the StrEdge Group of companies.&nbsp; StrEdge Group, which is a cluster of home-grown enterprises covering consultancy in Processes, People, Finance and Technology, said that Business Process Reengineering (BPR), Human Resource Restructuring, Financial Restructuring and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1611,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
