Complimentary Study Analyzes the Results Companies
Achieved in 2011, Strategies and Challenges, and
Objectives for 2012
MIAMI & LONDON, January 20, 2011 - A new working capital
performance study has been launched by REL Consulting, a
division of The Hackett Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCKT). The
study, which examines "Working Capital Performance:
Successes, Challenges and 2012 Objectives," is
complimentary, and companies are invited to participate.
In today's business environment, companies are turning
to improvements in working capital management as a means of
meeting cash flow, cost and service objectives through
operational efficiency. But the success of working capital
management efforts vary widely.
REL's Working Capital Performance Study will capture
and compare the level of results achieved by companies in
2011 relative to the formula applied: approach, effort and
time invested, rate of progress, and challenges
experienced. It will also look at anticipated key
objectives for further improvement in 2012.
Participants in the study will receive results that
include:
-
Results - How the level of 2011 working capital
improvements in their company compares with the efforts
of world-class performers;
-
Strategies - Factors influencing success and
sustainability of improvement programs;
-
Challenges - Common past and future challenges preventing
advancement or contributing to failed initiatives ;
-
Objectives - Key objectives and focus areas of finance
management professionals for working capital in 2012.
REL estimates that it will take participants about 20-30
minutes to complete the study.
Study participants will receive a performance report with
the aggregate results, and be invited to participate in a
Webcast discussing key findings. Details for participants
