What is the aim of this course?

Consulting firms are hired very often to help in Headcount Optimization. Those projects are difficult as you have to find the right balance between reducing costs and maximizing the value of the business. You not only have to find ways to remove inefficiencies but also calculate in Excel the potential impact on the company and its value. In this course, I will teach how to perform fast and efficiently different types of analyses during projects dedicated to Headcount Optimization.

In the course you will learn the following things:

What kind of analyses you will be performing during Headcount Optimization Projects?
What frameworks you can use for Headcount Optimization
How to estimate in Excel the impact of potential improvements
How to optimize processes,to do the same job with fewer people?
How to analyze the motivation system

This course is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting firms and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, performance improvement, and turn-arounds in the biggest firms from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B, and services sectors that I worked for. I have carried out or supervised over 90 different performance improvement projects in different industries that generated a total of 2 billion in additional EBITDA. On the basis of what you will find in this course, I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts, and managers who now are Partners in PE and VC funds, Investment Directors and Business Analysts in PE and VC, Operational Directors, COO, CRO, CEO, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 224 000 students including people working in EY, McKinsey, Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Adidas, Naspers, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Dell, Walgreens, Orange, and many others.

I teach through case studies, so you will have a lot of lectures showing examples of analyses, and tools that we use. To every lecture, you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels as well as additional presentations, and materials shown in the lectures so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modifications, be applied by you or your team in your work.

Why have I decided to create this course?

Headcount Optimization Projects are fast-paced and require a lot of hard work. You have to not only understand the business and the process but also see how this impacts the headcount now and in the future. Most firms don’t give you the full toolbox that you need to analyze the headcount. This may lead to huge frustration during consulting projects and a lot of inefficiencies.

Therefore, I have decided to create this course that will help students do analyses related to the headcount, especially done during consulting projects devoted to performance improvement. The course will give you the knowledge and insight into real-life case studies that will make your life during a consulting project much easier. Thanks to this course, you will know what and how to do during Headcount Optimization Projects. You will master how to analyze data and draw conclusions from the analyses. On top of that, you will also master the essential information related to motivation systems.

To sum it up, I believe that if you want to become a world-class Management Consultant or Business Analyst you have to have a pretty decent understanding of Headcount Optimization and analyses done during consulting projects devoted to that area. That is why, I highly recommend this course to Management Consultants or Business Analysts, especially those that did not finish business school. The course will help you become an expert in Headcount Optimization on the level of McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and other top consulting firms.

In what way will you benefit from this course?

The course is a practical, step-by-step guide loaded with tons of analyses, tricks, and hints that will significantly improve the speed with which you understand, and analyze businesses. There is little theory – mainly examples, a lot of tips from my own experience as well as other notable examples worth mentioning. Our intention is that thanks to the course you will learn:

What kind of analyses you will be performing during Headcount Optimization Projects?
What frameworks you can use for Headcount Optimization
How to estimate in Excel the impact of potential improvements
How to optimize processes,to do the same job with fewer people?
How to analyze the motivation system

You can also ask me any question either through the discussion field or by messaging me directly.

How is the course organized?

The course is divided currently into the following sections:

Introduction.We begin with a little introduction to the course as well as some general info on how the course is organized
Essential Analyses. There are several analyses that can be used for Headcount Optimization. In this section, we will discuss the most popular of them and show how to use them.
Frameworks. It’s always a good idea to have standard frameworks that you can use during consulting projects to know what to do. Let’s look at frameworks that will be useful during Headcount Optimization.
Case Studies. Now, we will have a look at different case studies where we will apply the things, we have learned in previous sections to optimize the headcount.
Optimization of in-store processes – Case Study. In this section, we will optimize the processes in a chain of home improvement stores. This will show you how you can do the same work with fewer people.
Motivation System Analysis. As a part of Headcount Optimization projects, you will also have to analyze the Motivation System System. Let’s have a look at some examples of such analyses.
