ESG Consulting: Recommended Current Practices (RCP™) ESG Benchmarking Services
WGA’s proprietary Recommended Current Practices (RCP™) is a collaboratively developed industry-specific benchmark methodology provided by our ESG consulting services practice area. RCP™ combines current ESG industry practices with maturity models to score, rank and compare a broad array of specific ESG capabilities.
RCP™ – “Best, Bad and Right ESG Practices”
A company or industry specific “best-practice” does not have to be the best-practice for your company. WGA believes that one size may not fit all even if it is really the “best-practice”. WGA’s RCP™ benchmarking services focus on helping our clients to customize our “recommended-practice” to be the “right-practice” for their company. Any “best-practice” is only as valuable as its ability to eliminate the problems in an industry or business function and create business value. There may be a few “right-practices” for a given situation. WGA advises our clients to choose and customize the most feasible one. Choose the “fastest” one among the “right” ones. Good “right-practices” will broaden your organization’s potential and unlock hidden value.
“Bad-practices” are equally as important as “right-practice”. WGA’s experience helping clients design and implement “right-practice” solutions include the common operational mistakes many of our clients make when attempting to deploy and sustain right-practices on their own. These “dos and donts” are a key differentiator with WGA’s RCP™ benchmarking services.

Vice President Operations$34B Industrial Products Manufacturer
Our network of Automobile accessory plants were experiencing unexpected levels of demand from our major Automotive customers. Our operating costs were out of control, and we were missing delivery dates. Two of our largest customers threated to cancel over $500M dollars in annual contracts. After reaching out to several tier-1 management consulting firms, we selected WGA Consulting based upon their unique, innovative and accelerated approach. In just 2 weeks, WGA had identified a combination of people, culture, process and operating problems, prioritized action plans and temporarily took over executive leader roles at our plants to drive the improvements. In less than 3 months, WGA had resolved our issues and brought our operating costs down by over 32% ($127M/annually) and improved our customer OTIF by 29% to 98.9%/week.

After two decades of organic growth, many of our managers in the organization were starting to see a chronic problem. Our operations had become too complex to manage.

They worked with us to facilitate designing, planning and implementing all aspects of the program.

Vice President Supply Chain Operations$178B Global Automobile Manufacturer
3 Years after purchasing two smaller competitors in our industry, our executive leadership team was struggling to see the cost savings of our consolidation efforts. Two other strategy consulting firms were brought in to assist us in determining and fixing the problems. After we spent $18M USD in 6 months with limited success, we decided to end the contracts early with the two other firms. Our COO recommended that we call WGA. In just 3 months, WGA had developed a strategy to simplify our operational processes, merge overlapping business systems and consolidate our service offerings in various international operations. Since our first project, WGA remains our key trusted strategy and consulting partner for all of our business needs Read more
Senior Vice President Corporate Strategy and Planning$44B Aerospace and Defense Contractor
After our Telematics project missed key milestone dates and our company was running national commercials that the new technology would be in our cars in 6 months, we called WGA to help. WGA conducted a healthcheck of our Telematics PMO and provided us with a turnaround strategy and plan. We were initially shocked by the problems WGA identified and had to take some personnel actions to achieve our deadlines. WGA’s turnaround strategy was simple to execute and allowed us to deliver our Telematics project 1 month earlier than planned. WGA’s ability to get to the root-cause and their comfort with delivering bad news to our executive leadership reflects their reputation for integrity and professionalism. Read more

We reached out to one of our strategic consulting suppliers for assistance, but they wouldn’t be able to dispatch a team to help us for over 3 months. That’s when I called WGA. As a true partner, WGA had their team on the ground 2 days later and we were able to complete our strategy and planning efforts in just 6 weeks! WGA is now our go to/preferred strategy consulting supplier.
