AREOPA offers services in 4 different lines: Intellectual Capital Management & Intellectual Capital Accounting; Applied Knowledge Management; Implementation of Change Management; and Risk Assessment and Process Performance.
1. Intellectual Capital Management & Accounting
AREOPA has developed a model for identifying and quantifying intangibles as components of Intellectual Capital (IC). This model serves to evaluate a company’s return on all the capital it employs, helping to explain the difference between book and market value.
2. Applied Knowledge Management
AREOPA has a proven methodology to manage the knowledge of a Company. After identifying it, and making an inventory of the available knowledge; it has to be stored and make it reusable.
3. Change Management
AREOPA delivers training, methodologies and tools, advice and implementation services for any type of organization or institute, undergoing change in any of its core competencies, organizational and operational environment, including mergers & acquisitions, restructuring, downsizing, IPO placement, growth, etc.
4. Risk Assessment and Process Performance
Processes must be continuously improved and renewed and the cost of poor performance must be controlled. For doing this, AREOPA offers tools that help identify the costs attributable to delays, errors, wastage, and inefficiency, which reduces the value of the process.
One remarkable fact is that about 80% of the data for all the audits done in a Company come from the same sources AREOPA uses. But the interpretation of the collected data is different.
In that sense, AREOPA is a unique organization in the World.
