Copenhagen Capacity offers a range of services and tools that
can help your company decide whether or not to expand in
Copenhagen.
IBM Consulting and Logistic Consulting Group have developed
three unique decision-supporting tools for Copenhagen Capacity.
These tools will provide you with a thorough information basis,
enabling you to pinpoint the ideal location for your activities.
The tools are all based on international statistics, which ensure
non-biased information.
In short, your company’s data (e.g. number of managers, number
of offices etc.) will be entered into a mathematical model, which
then compares a range of Scandinavian and European cities taking
into account your company’s specific situation and needs.
The three tools are:
Benchmark Tool
The Benchmark Tool is a tool for companies that are considering
to restructure their organisation across countries, e.g. into a
joint headquarters or SSC. The Benchmark Tool compares a range of
Scandinavian and European cities across two main categories:
qualitative and cost-related factors. The purpose is to provide
information that enables you to pinpoint the very best location for
your company’s activities.
|
Qualitative factors |
Cost-related factors |
- Quality of life
- Infrastructure and communications
- Flexibility of labour market
- Language skills
- Competencies
- Business climate
|
- Cost of telecommunications
- Rent levels
- Wage expenses
|
Data for your company are entered into the tool, and you decide
which factors to emphasise the most, how many employees of which
kind to hire, the level of international phone calls etc. The
result is exact and neutral information about the best alternative
for your organisation.
Cost-Benefit Tool
The Cost-Benefit Tool is a tool for companies that are
considering to centralise activities in Copenhagen but need
information about the costs of closing or downsizing offices in
other countries. The tool then takes into account costs of
terminating contracts, downsizing employee base etc.
Logistics Tool
The Logistics Tool is a tool for companies that want to know the
ideal location of a central Scandinavian distribution centre. The
tool compares the cities Copenhagen, Malmö, Göteborg, Stockholm,
and Jönköping in terms of cost of freight and transport time. (The
model assumes a central European storage centre in either Brussels,
Paris, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Amsterdam or Rotterdam).
