Our
Vision
1. Use price increases strategically. While selective price increases can help in the short term, they often have diminishing returns. To be successful in the long term, it’s essential to have a balanced approach to price increase with cost forensic and understand how the cost baseline had changed.---The situation requires immediate action, but most importantly, a sustainable long-term strategy like the Little City Franchise.
2. Aim for cost visibility and transparency. To transform costs, it’s critical to know what they are, which is more difficult than it sounds on an enterprise basis. Sophisticated analytics provide visibility into costs and support real-time decisions about how people work, how the end-to-end supply chain is flowing, and, critically, about areas of future growth. That is top of mind for CEOs today. --- The Little City's artificial intelligence systems provide critical end-to-end tracking and client interactions through online websites interacting with all variations of hardware.
3. Reset the baseline. Over the past 18 months, companies have faced major disruption including supply chain issues, halting production, shifting to a remote workforce, and dealing with the global effects of climate change.
