Hacking Working Capital

With an intelligent look and simple zero-cost tweaks, it is possible to double the self-financed growth rate, which is the mother of operating cash flow.

Mainstream working capital optimization body of knowledge is based on linear math and a reductionist approach that decompose working capital requirement into silos of inventory, receivable and payables. This leads to missing a lot of nonlinear relationships to exploit and optimize.

Over the years, I developed a novel tactical framework that takes working capital profitability as the first-class citizen of decision-making, exposing all the “exponentials” of the working capital integrated into the efficiency levers of the supply chain and shop floor.
