5. Business Planning & Strategy
   Fundamentally business planning is about evaluating the market, assessing internal resources, then summarizing and crafting a response in the form of a business plan. Planning invokes discipline and fosters visibility, which drives accountability.

   • Organization design of resources.
6. Strategic Cost and Value
   Cost and value analysis is fundamental to understanding an organization's competencies (i.e., what makes them better than others and different). Kopac's solutions include the following:
   
   
   • Cost Reviews

   Cost Reviews include both single and matrix analysis of costs and subsequent identification of potential savings in the following areas:

   • Traditional Analysis - material, labor, and overhead
   • Cost Drivers - correlating costs to drivers, activities, and pools
   • Process – allocating costs by process or activity
   • Function – Assigning costs by key function
   • Forward Costing – Modeling cost functions based on future scenarios and assumptions of capacity, fixed and variable costs
   • Financial Statement – Reviewing costs on an account basis
   • Chain Analysis

   Value Chain Analysis can be a powerful tool for assessing competitive advantage, identifying a company's cost structure and differentiation points, as well as targeting placement of future value.

   Supply Chain Analysis can be a useful tool in analyzing the key steps within a company's value chain at a macro level for the purpose of highlighting stakeholder and market plan interactions, opportunities for redesign, risk point identification, and market competitiveness.

   • Valuation

   Valuation can be applied at the company (income statement and balance sheet level), at an asset level or to the product or sub product level for purposes of identifying competencies, inefficiencies, and intrinsic value, return on investment, or market value.

   Valuation is also applied to differentiate tangible and intangible value for decision-making.
