At the Customer, For the Customer helps make our key customers even more successful. Over the years, we have assembled a working methodology to approach the recurring themes that arise in most businesses. The goal of ACFC is to share our vast experience and strategic capabilities with you to enhance your knowledge, empower your executive team and bolster your bottom line.

At the Customer, For the Customer addresses many topics, including:

Acquisition Integration

GE has completed more than 100 acquisitions in each of the last five years. This has enabled us to develop a model of best practices to ensure the smooth integration of acquisitions in today's marketplace. We can guide you through the process of preparing for and assimilating your acquisition to ensure that it meets its growth and income potential.

Change Acceleration Process

How your business copes with change is critical to not only its growth but also its survival. Coping with change is not enough. You have to embrace change and make it work for you. Our Change Acceleration Process (CAP) will give you the tools you need to effectively implement significant change.

Leadership Development

As one of the world's most successful companies, GE has adopted company-wide leadership and succession planning practices. We know how to identify and develop leaders, assess organizational fit and manage a talent pipeline for key roles. We will review your needs and create a plan to identify and leverage the talent that already exists within your organization.

Digitization

Are you actively using digital information to help run your business? Digitization aims at web enabling both the front- and back-end of your operations. From employee portals to digital dashboards that deliver real-time performance metrics straight to your desktop, we have the digital tools you need to eliminate manual processes and streamline best practices.

Six Sigma

Six Sigma is the highly disciplined approach many leading companies now use to focus on developing near-perfect products and services. At GE, we use Six Sigma to drive process improvement and consistency in all we do. We can discuss the challenges involved in effectively introducing Six Sigma and explain how the methodology can be practically applied to your business.

Sourcing & Procurement

If you're not making the most of potential business efficiencies, it's time to demand a profit from supply. We have established comprehensive sourcing and procurement practices covering every stage of the process, from contract and bidding through settlement. We will help you identify ways to reduce costs and increase productivity, based on a model that has helped us increase net income.

Treasury

When your business expands internationally, financial management becomes far more complex. As a global company, GE possesses a wealth of knowledge and expertise, including an established hedging policy. We can help you decipher interest rates, foreign exchange and commodity risk, protect your margins in overseas markets, and turn risk mitigation into a competitive advantage.

Work-Out™

How do you tap into the solutions that could make a huge difference to your business challenges? Work-Out™ is GE's structured yet informal team-based approach to rapid problem solving. Using process mapping, problem identification, solutions design and action plan development, Work-Out™ gives you the means to streamline business processes and eliminate bureaucratic barriers.
