Calculate & raise the ROI of your human capital processes & projects
SMART ROI™ (formerly known as ROS) by Management & Excellence accurately calculates and raises the financial return on investment (ROI) of human capital, governance processes and projects within companies. This ROI includes all quantified upsides (improved profits) and downsides (risks). It makes your investments in these processes and projects transparent and helps them contribute more to your revenues and operating margins. Governance risk can be turned into profits.
SMART ROI™ is among the most sophisticated and proven methods and has thus far been applied in over 130 projects with a total investment volume of over $5 billion since its launch in 2007. Shortly after its launch, SMART ROI™ (formerly branded ROS) was featured in a multi-paged article in the Harvard Business Review Brasil.

SMART ROI™ Brief Application Examples

- ROI of corporate culture program: The corporate culture of a company in a post merger situation impacted a broad range of processes and generated financial returns from everything from client relations programs and R&D (raising revenues) to operating efficiency (margins).
- ROI of negotiation & sales training: Returns from training helped salespeople close more and larger deals within the first 4 weeks following the training course.
- ROI of IT: A new IT center helped integrate all systems of a large multinational, reducing the R&D to market time and thus raising sales as well as generating massive efficiency effects.
