STRATEGY

Business Strategy

Business strategy is a defined and clear set of plans, actions and goals that outlines how a business will compete in a particular markets, with a number of products or services. While simple to understand in theory, developing a good business strategy and then actually implementing, it is often time consuming and complicated.

Silva Carvalho & Associados provides overall direction to your enterprise, specifying the organization's objectives, developing policies and plans to achieve those objectives, and then allocating resources to implement the plans, always working closely with the organization's managers and shareholders.

Business Development

In the simplest terms, business development can be summarized as the ideas, initiatives, and activities that help make a business better. This includes increasing revenues, growth in terms of business expansion, increasing profitability by building strategic partnerships, and making strategic business decisions. Silva Carvalho & Associados has decades of real world experience and expertise in Business Development.

Leadership Advisory

In the competitive and demanding corporate environment where change happens at a fast and unpredictable pace, effective leadership is vital to business performance. It is without any doubt that the organizations that will be most successful are those that have the right people in the top leadership roles working effectively together, an organizational culture that is aligned with the strategic direction of the business, and a commitment to developing the leaders needed for the future.

For companies and organizations looking to develop their leadership capability, Silva Carvalho & Associados helps organizations solve their most complex business issues. By providing a broad set of horizontal and vertical solutions, we work with your leaders and your organization to develop the appropriate leadership expertise customized for your company's present and future needs.

Turnaround Management

Turnaround management is a process dedicated to corporate renewal. Silva Carvalho & Associados provide analysis and planning to save troubled companies and return them to solvency, and to identify the reasons for failing performance in the market, and rectify them.

Our turnaround management process involves management review, root failure causes analysis, and SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis to determine why the company is failing. Once analysis is completed, a long term strategic plan and restructuring plan are created. Once approved, we begin to implement the plan, continually reviewing its progress and make changes to the plan as needed to ensure the company returns to solvency.

Change Management

With the business environment experiencing constant change, organizations must learn to become comfortable with change as well. Therefore, the ability to manage and adapt to organizational change is an essential ability required for corporate profit and sustainability.

Change management is a term for all systematic approaches to prepare, support, and help individuals, teams, and organizations in making organizational change. Apart from defining the transition or transformation of an organization's goals, processes or technologies, we use our expertise to redirect or redefine the use of resources, business process, budget allocations, or other modes of operation that significantly change your company or organization. We deliver constant continuous improvement through managed change.

CORPORATE
SECURITY

Risk Management

Risk management is the identification, evaluation, and prioritization of risks followed by allocation of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. Strategies to manage threats typically include avoiding the threat, reducing the negative effect or probability of the threat, transferring all or part of the threat to another party, and even retaining some or all of the potential or actual consequences of a particular threat. The opposite of these strategies can be used to respond to opportunities (uncertain future states with benefits).

Silva Carvalho & Associados consulting services help you to: identify the threats; assess the vulnerability of critical assets to specific threats; determine the risk (i.e. the expected likelihood and consequences of specific types of attacks on specific assets); identify ways to mitigate risks; prioritize risk reduction measures; and more.

Security Governance

Security governance is the set of responsibilities and practices exercised by executive management with the goal of providing strategic direction, ensuring that objectives are achieved, that risks are mitigated and managed appropriately, and verifying that the enterprise’s resources are used responsibly.

Silva Carvalho & Associados assess your company's organizational structure, roles, responsibilities, metrics, processes and oversights necessary for elaborating governance standards, guidelines, policies, and procedures, identifying the appropriate resources needed to be allocated, resulting in better organization-wide protection for your digital, physical, and human assets.

Information Security

Information security protects sensitive information from unauthorized activities, including inspection, modification, recording, and any disruption or destruction.

Silva Carvalho & Associados assist your business, by consulting and implementation of bespoke solutions provided by our strategic partners, in improving the safety and privacy of all critical and sensitive data such as customer account details, financial data or intellectual property, and more. We assess your information and develop plans focused upon the balanced protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, not compromising the company's productivity.

Cyber Security

Cyber security is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. Silva Carvalho & Associados, together with strategic partners, deliver customized, top world-class solutions to keep your business safe from cyber attacks, as well as consulting services delivering architectural design of your cyber defense.

Apart from traditional solutions (i.e. SOC, MSSP, Endpoint Protection) we also provide, together with our trusted partners, specialized services like; risk-assessments, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, deep and dark web intelligence, disaster recovery plans, end-user awareness training, and more.

Cyber security is vital for the security of any organization since a breach can result in catastrophic consequences for your business.

Physical Security

Physical security describes security measures that are designed to deny unauthorized access to facilities, equipment and resources and to protect personnel and property from damage or harm (such as espionage, theft, or terrorist attacks). Silva Carvalho & Associados provides, together with strategic partners, multiple layers of interdependent systems that can include CCTV surveillance, security guards, protective barriers, locks, access control, perimeter intrusion detection, deterrent systems, fire protection, and other systems designed to protect persons and property.

When designing the solution, expert security designers, architects and analysts will balance security controls against risks, taking into account the costs of specifying, developing, testing, implementing, using, managing, monitoring and maintaining the controls, along with broader issues like human rights, health and safety and complicance with existing conventions. We also validate and review existing solutions as a consultancy service.
