In Pakistan, security assurance is fundamental to a business’s successful operations. Security threats impede the performance and effectiveness of an organization’s employees. Effective controls are required to mitigate threats and hazards. The business, and all its stakeholders need to have confidence in the communications systems used together with evidence that shared information is appropriately protected.

However, understanding the risks and knowing what to do about them is academic unless you deliver the controls required to reduce those risks. Providing assurance that the controls are fit-for-purpose, correctly implemented and remain sustainable throughout the IT lifecycle is what is really important.

We at PSTD believe that a supply chain that is closely aligned with business strategy helps to advance business objectives and achieve sustained, profitable growth. While business strategy should drive supply chain design decisions, it is also critical to execute on all supply chain tactical dimensions. Our supply chain consultants help executives address today’s most common supply chain concerns while preparing for smooth implementation of objectives in the future.

Our first step is to understand the link between strategy and the supply chain and then we typically perform a diagnostic of the current supply chain in order to prioritize the top areas for focus, noting opportunities to realize short- and long-term value. PSTD’s Supply Chain consultants play a pivotal role in implementing appropriate and cost-effective supply chain systems and are in lieu with market players such as Unilever and P&G.

We focus on improving the specific supply chain capabilities that will have the most impact while at the same time placing emphasis on ensuring successful implementation, execution and lasting alignment between strategy and design through our result oriented approach.
