Our Services
Ampalyst works with leadership teams on the problems that sit at the intersection of cost, structure, and operations, where organizational complexity meets strategic urgency. Our engagements combine deep analytical rigor with a bias toward execution.
Organizational Transformation
Operating models that made sense five years ago often don't reflect how work actually gets done today. We help organizations redesign their structures, reporting relationships, and functional accountabilities to support efficiency, scalability, and growth.
This work includes:
Enterprise operating model design and redesign
Organizational structure optimization and spans-and-layers analysis
Process and workflow redesign across corporate functions including Finance, HR, Technology, Procurement, and Analytics
Functional consolidation and role rationalization
Stakeholder alignment and change management
SG&A Cost Transformation
Corporate costs have a way of compounding quietly over time: layers of process, overhead, and legacy structure that accumulate until they become a strategic liability. We help organizations see clearly where costs are being generated and create the conditions to reduce them without breaking what works.
Our cost transformation work includes:
SG&A cost reduction programs with defined targets and execution roadmaps
Enterprise efficiency initiatives spanning Finance, HR, IT, and Operations
Cost benchmarking against industry and peer standards
Productivity improvement and margin enhancement strategies
Global Workforce Strategy
The question of where operations should be anchored, and where work should be performed, is among the most consequential decisions a large organization can make. This is not simply a talent question. It is a strategic question about operational footprint, location strategy, cost structure, and long-term competitive positioning.
Our Global Workforce Strategy practice covers:
Operational footprint and location strategy
Outsourcing and shared services strategy
Resource portfolio design across domestic, nearshore, offshore, and digital labor
Digital labor and automation opportunity identification
Global Capability Center (GCC) and Global Inhouse Center (GIC) strategy and build-out
This is one of our deepest areas of expertise and the one that consistently delivers the most significant long-term impact for our clients.
Corporate Procurement
Procurement is one of the most underleveraged sources of enterprise value. Organizations that treat supplier relationships as administrative rather than strategic consistently leave significant cost reduction and risk mitigation on the table.
Ampalyst brings a rigorous, commercially sophisticated approach to procurement advisory.
Our work include
Category management strategy and implementation
Supplier renegotiation and complex commercial restructuring
Third-party risk assessment and mitigation frameworks
Procurement operating model design
Supplier rationalization and strategic sourcing programs
Outsourcing, Offshoring and Nearshoring
Outsourcing decisions involve more than cost comparisons. Provider selection, contract structure, transition risk, and governance design all determine whether a program delivers its intended value or becomes a source of ongoing operational friction.
We support organizations through:
Outsourcing strategy design and provider market assessment
Contract negotiation support and commercial structure
RFP development and provider selection
Governance framework design and ongoing performance management
IT and BPO
Provider Engagement
Organizations that spend tens or hundreds of millions annually on IT and business process outsourcing often lack the internal capability to manage those relationships at the commercial and strategic level required to extract full value. We bring the financial rigor and strategic depth to change that.
Services include:
Contract restructuring and complex commercial modeling
Service governance design and performance management frameworks
Vendor transition strategy and execution planning
Escalation protocols and third-party governance infrastructure
Provider benchmarking, evaluation, and selection
This is one of our deepest areas of expertise and the one that consistently delivers the most significant long-term impact for our clients.
