Internet and your Company

The questions you should ask

Your firm has its own Web site but you still have more questions than answers on whether your Company is really taking advantages of the possibilities of the Internet and the Net Economy:

What are your key competitors doing , are they far ahead of you?

For their relationship with their customers, the services they offer, their reactivity and cost reductions?

In revamping their processes?

Which strategic goals for the next two years should you define?

What priorities should you fix for improving your value-added chain: customer relations? logistics? offer creation?

Which orientation for your e-commerce ?

Which business model for your Company?

Which other players should you partner with?

Are you "running" fast enough ?

To increase your staff loyalty and your recruitment capability?

To answer these questions, Mount Vernon Consulting designed, in relation with large companies, methods for competitive positioning and ways to define impacts and priorities.
