NEW YORK, June 15, 2009: NexGen Advisors and APQC to Launch Global Organization Efficiency Survey

Partnership will provide first-ever benchmark data across multiple industries

NexGen Advisors, a global business restructuring and transformation firm, announced today that it has signed an agreement with APQC, a premier benchmarking organization, to launch a cross-industry Global Organization Efficiency Survey (GOES). This survey is the first of its kind, and is considered extremely significant due to the market’s lack of accurate up-to-date detailed benchmark data on the subject.

Given the economic climate, and the desire for companies to become leaner and more efficient, this survey comes at the perfect time for businesses to gain a data driven understanding of how their structure is either helping or hindering their business performance.

“By working with APQC on this survey, we will gain invaluable insight into the organization structure of each participant to identify key factors affecting their levels of success,” said Carla Zilka, Founder and Principal Advisor, NexGen Advisors. “If companies want to ensure their operations are running as effectively and efficiently as possible, it’s crucial to see where they are hitting the mark and where they might have opportunities for improvement.”

The GOES will be open for participants to sign up beginning June 15, and will close July 27. It has a scientific focus, with the goal to understand the efficiency of company structures by examining reporting layers and spans of control in midsize-to-large organizations. The survey will include multiple industries around the world with employee populations of 1,000 or greater, and target revenues of $1 billion or more.

Each company participating will have its organization analyzed and benchmarked by function and region, with additional analysis available through NexGen Advisors’ Organization Efficiency Practice. As a result of the survey, the participants will receive a thorough report on how they stack up against their peers and best-in-class benchmarks.

A white paper on the results will also be available through both APQC and NexGen Advisors.
