Value chain and DPR
The value chain makes us understand about how the firms that operate within an industry/sector. From input suppliers to end market buyers; the support markets that provide technical, business and financial services to the industry; and the business environment in which the industry operates, it looks after all. DPRs provide a detailed plan for a project indicating overall programme, different roles and responsibilities, activities and resources required for the project. Our value chain and DPR development services has distinctive features in terms of both the scope used in analysing an industry/sector and the tangible and non-tangible considerations used in designing and implementing interventions.
Approach
Our approach seeks to facilitate changes in organization behavior that increase the competitiveness of the chain and generate wealth for all participating entities. We transform relationships among stakeholders and target leverage points through empowerment, learning and adaptive management of the project. We choose frameworks which help organizations stay ahead of the game and provide recommendations which are strategic, achievable and actionable in nature.
Elements
Feasibility/gap assessment
A feasibility assessment checks the practicality of a proposed plan or project on all relevant factors including economic, legal, technical and scheduling considerations to ascertain the likelihood of undertaking the intervention successfully. You should consider doing this to discern pros and cons of undertaking a project, its viability, gaps and problems that might occur during its implementation.
We utilize different normative frameworks such as Harvard’s Analytical Framework, 3E exercise etc. or prepare customized checklists according to the client requirements. We help you foresee gaps and risks with our farsighted approach and imaginative thinking so that you can save on your precious investment and resources.
Value chain analysis, development and upgradation
Value chain analysis is a process by which an organization can identify the primary and support activities that can add value to their products and services by either reducing cost or increasing differentiation. Value chain development supports pro-poor development and job creation by strengthening enterprises, relationships, market structure and environment. Upgradation helps organizations in delivering better products and services with enhanced efficiency and performance.
We start value chain analysis with external environment analysis and then move on to resource status, market analysis and demand assessment. After this value chain maps are prepared and gaps are identified for upgradation using the USAID framework. We are a choice for organizations in conducting value chain studies due to the depth of information that we provide even for the newest or remotest of product or service.
Financial modelling
Financial modeling is a process of creating a summary of intervention’s expenses and earnings in the form of a spreadsheet to calculate the impact of a future decision. It is used to strategically plan and test various scenarios to calculate the cost of new interventions, decide on budgets and allocate resources for financial sustainability.
We utilize various informative models such as three statement model, consolidation model, budget model, forecasting model etc. along with sensitivity analysis for anticipating the impact of various events on organization’s budget. With our hybrid and sustainability approach, we help you manage your overall financial health and expand operations responsibly.
Business plan development
To establish a foundation upon which a organization can focus its vision, tailor its mission and incorporate values, a business plan deems essential to every organization’s success. It becomes a written roadmap from marketing, financial and operational standpoints.
Everybody creates business plans but what makes us special is the way by which we visualize the risks, measurability, scalability, sustainability and replicability in the organization. For making your pursuit a rewarding accomplishment, we make the process participative by increasing engagement with all the stakeholders including board members, staff, volunteers, members, donors, leaders, funders and others.
DPR Development
Detailed Project Report (DPR) is an analytical study of the proposed project with viability conclusion, implementation plan, operational design, costs and benefits, roles and responsibilities, activities and resources required for making the project successful. It is also used to ensure completion of project within the stipulated period and within estimated costs and reduced risks.
We utilize government approved frameworks for DPR to showcase the practical results on concerns that may be raised by the promoters or donors of the project. Our self-sustainability thinking makes us the first choice of agencies for development of a DPR as it helps bring in financial independence in the intervention.
