Finding and approaching your Setpoint
A working capital SETPOINT is challenging to find, let alone reach, as it involves multiple stakeholders with often conflicting strategies, targets and KPIs.

A significant portion of operating working capital and the cash conversion cycle is owned and influenced by operations, making it more than just a finance concern. These processes are highly interconnected, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach.
SETPOINT Advisory's Lean Working Capital methodology understands the importance of aligning approach and targets across functions - optimizing the organization as a whole.
