We really do stand out from the crowd.

Known for undertaking only the highest value opportunity identification cost and process benchmarking engagements, uniquely we cover both the core value chain and the business functions.

We have been undertaking specialist cost and process transformation benchmarking for global businesses for over 24 years. As executive board directors in volatile sectors strive for competitive edge, efficiencies and breakthroughs in performance improvement, our services are proving more valuable than ever.

We needed a benchmarking provider able to deliver the most commercially sensitive market intelligence imaginable in global territories across a wide range of service lines. There was only one supplier able to undertake the engagement, and that was Fulcrium. We have absolute trust in their capabilities, and their database is a differentiator like no other.

Here is why we are different from any of the consultancies and consortium template report publishers:

  • We are specialists in the most urgent and mission-critical transformation benchmarking engagements, and the first port of call for where high-value opportunity identification is the goal.
  • In addition, we provide compliance, training and risk management solutions.
  • We can respond fast to urgent, mission-critical requirements.
  • We have a track record in combining value-identification skills, multi-country and multi-sector experience, plus deep functional knowledge.
  • We engage from the beginning with all stakeholders at every level, greatly improving the implementation of any change management projects.
  • Our global coverage means we have the experience to ensure that regional and cultural sensitivities are respected.
  • Our unique proprietary multi-sector, global database enables us to deliver unrivalled benchmarking intelligence and actionable value-identification.
  • We are flexible, not formulaic, adapting our proprietary frameworks and methodologies to suit each client’s specific requirements.
  • We have a reputation for enabling our clients to realise phenomenal step-changes in performance.
  • We have deep, lasting relationships with clients based on their confidence in our capabilities and our ethical practices.
  • We have benchmarking, market intelligence data and advisory expertise.

The result? Our global data consistently deliver evidence-backed exceptional value opportunity identification, and clients refer to us as their “highly valuable secret intelligence resource”.

Our sector went into crisis in 2008. As a matter of urgency, we needed dramatic cost-cutting but we had to keep cool heads and not just flail around.

In the last decade, we had been buying off-the-shelf template consortium reports to give us a steer on external commercial intelligence. In the new straitened and critical circumstances, that “standard set of metrics” approach has been totally inadequate.

Fulcrium provided the commercial intellligence data we needed, in very tight timescales, and I can honestly say they gave us nuggets of gold we couldn’t hope to find anywhere else.

Our proprietary frameworks enable us to undertake wide-ranging specialist cost and process benchmarking:

  • Internal:
    Comparing internal processes
  • Technology:
    Comparing technology within the same industry and cross-industry
  • Business:
    Comparing proprietary financial, operational and value metrics in core value chain and functions within the same industry and cross-industry
  • Competitive:
    Comparing direct competitors within the same industry
  • Functional:
    Comparing functions from the same and different industries
  • Generic:
    Comparing dissimilar functions that may spark innovation or breakthrough ideas

At any time, we can combine these multi-faceted disciplines to create the ideal transformation benchmarking engagement for our clients, without needing to restart the initial engagement.

The insights from our database are then translated into actionable strategies that deliver high-value opportunity identification, cost efficiencies, breakthrough performance improvement and competitive advantage.
