BLJ Group's alliance with Reclipse Group has enabled them to champion Leadership and Management Excellence in Global Business Operations and End-to-End Supply Chain, in addition to the processes and technology which support and integrate them into the overall business environment. The mission for each of their projects is to help clients build their businesses by collaboratively creating and executing innovative strategies and solutions to achieve their next level of growth, productivity, and profitability.


Business Chain

According to Spencer Stuart only 26% of the Fortune 125 have integrated supply chains even though all agree that there are huge benefits and savings to be found in integration. The new economy requires that the success of every component in the supply chain is based on delivering predictable and quality service to the end customer. This success requires companies to adopt a new model based on an expanded view of the entire organization.

BLJ Group has developed just such an integrated and holistic business model, the Business Chain (exh.1), to help companies integrate not only their supply chains but the end-to-end processes and functions (e.g. financial, operations, logistics, sales and
marketing, information technology) required for the operation of a business and the human and knowledge capital (e.g. employees, customers, data, board of directors) that supports it. The health of a company’s Business Chain has a direct effect on its profitability and success in the marketplace.
