We provide consulting services that strategically connect business goals with data and AI technologies. Our approach extends beyond simply developing and deploying models—we assess and systematize data governance and end-to-end operational processes to establish a data-driven decision-making culture within the organization. Through this, we not only improve the efficiency and accuracy of decision support systems, but also accelerate enterprise-wide digital transformation by delivering customized data and AI platform strategies and roadmaps.
We identify business-critical issues, quickly validate high-value models via proof of concept (PoC) or pilot projects, and design MLOps-based operational workflows to ensure continuous model performance improvement. Throughout the process, we coordinate internal stakeholders and help embed data and AI capabilities across the organization.
The first step in platform transformation is to re-evaluate the existing value chain and clearly define the core value proposition to be delivered directly to customers. Next, build a partner ecosystem, strengthen data governance and analytics capabilities, and optimize the platform’s processes and application architecture for scalability and operational efficiency. It's also essential to integrate online and offline channels, optimize the customer experience, and foster a fast and flexible organizational culture to ensure successful execution Given the complexity of this transformation, professional consulting plays a critical role in comprehensively designing and supporting the entire journey—from problem definition to execution.
Many companies today collect large volumes of customer data across online and offline touchpoints, yet often fail to effectively respond to customer needs or pain points, resulting in limited business outcomes. Customer experience-driven innovation and digital strategy consulting helps reorganize customer data from a utilization perspective and enables the deployment of tailored services, personalized content, and automated marketing initiatives aligned with customer scenarios. Additionally, customer experience personalization—powered by attribution analysis across touchpoints—enables optimized channel investment, improved ROI, increased revenue, and ultimately, stronger long-term brand loyalty through effective customer lifetime value (LTV) management.
AI and data are essential technologies for advancing platform businesses. The focus should be on enhancing decision support capabilities across the platform and visualizing early business impact through proof-of-concept (PoC) initiatives. Examples include optimizing marketing strategies through customer segmentation and behavior prediction, reducing costs and improving processes through inventory forecasting and production scheduling, enabling fast responses by detecting early signs of risk in high-stakes industries, and identifying hidden trends or product/service improvement opportunities to unlock new markets. To drive these outcomes systematically, expert consulting is essential—covering everything from defining key business challenges and evaluating current platform operations to identifying areas for improvement, validating value through PoC, and developing a roadmap with scalability in mind.
Developing an AI model is just the first step. Without data governance, it's difficult to ensure high-quality, consistent data usage across the organization. AI models built on a stable data foundation enhance operational efficiency and ensure consistency across organizational decision-making processes—making them essential for today’s enterprise platforms.
We conduct precise spend analysis using AI-powered tools to process a company’s purchase ledger data—regardless of ERP system. Following pre-processing, morphemes are extracted using natural language processing (NLP) to identify and cluster key spend terms by item. This enables rapid segmentation of hundreds of thousands of transactions, helping identify high-cost categories and spending leaks.
Large-scale datasets that were once difficult to process manually are now analyzed with precision. The results are visualized through intuitive dashboards that clearly reveal inefficient spending by account. This allows organizations to rapidly access critical decision-making insights and ensures no savings opportunities are missed through a full-scope analysis.
During the consulting phase, LG CNS assigns cost optimization consultants with deep practical experience across industry sectors and value chain functions. These specialists—well-versed in procurement, logistics, outsourcing, employee benefits, and other major indirect cost areas— work as one team with the client’s staff, identifying execution-focused improvement opportunities from an operational perspective. Through detailed analysis of on-site workflows and internal policy structures, they identify and prioritize executable tasks. They don’t stop at data insights—they conduct PI-level process diagnostics to trace the root causes of cost inefficiencies.
Based on these findings, they propose realistic improvement strategies that deliver both short-term impact and long-term structural value, carefully evaluating quantitative impact and practical feasibility. They ensure that all initiatives are aligned with the client’s decision-making framework to enable fast and effective execution.
Our methodology is grounded in over 200 proven best practices and approximately 30 proprietary cost levers, accumulated through NPI consulting across diverse industries. We combine benchmark data with proven success cases to design cost-saving strategies tailored to each client’s industry, organization, and operational context.
Our methodology goes beyond conceptual recommendations—we deliver immediately actionable solutions. Actionable measures include supplier restructuring, contract reengineering, centralized procurement, and PO process redesign. Execution scenarios and operational playbooks are provided to help clients achieve rapid and stable cost savings. Our accumulated expertise and execution capabilities form the core strengths of LG CNS NPI Consulting.
NPI Consulting does not charge a fixed fee at project launch. Instead, fees are calculated based on a success-based model, directly proportional to the amount of actual cost savings achieved. Clients pay only for verified savings if there are no savings, the client pays nothing. This fully aligns the interests of LG CNS and the client, ensuring a strong focus on tangible results.
Although cost savings often last for several years, NPI Consulting fees are calculated only on the savings achieved in the first year. This allows clients to retain the full benefit of continued savings in later years, maximizing cost efficiency. This client-centric compensation structure is a defining feature of NPI Consulting.
Our approach to cost reduction is guided by three principles: we never compromise on quality or productivity, we never undermine employee morale, and we never settle for short-term fixes—we aim for sustainable, long-term results. By driving structural improvements, we help clients transform their cost base without the risk of a "yo-yo effect."
We first identify quick-win tasks with high short-term feasibility and develop them to a level that allows immediate execution. Tasks with simpler cost structures and lower complexity often begin delivering savings within the same fiscal year, enabling clients to experience results quickly and directly.
We eliminate inefficiencies and unnecessary spending across operations to create a lean, waste-free cost structure. The savings secured can then be strategically channeled into new investment items, digital transformation, and organizational advancement—supporting a continuous cost optimization cycle over the long term.
We work closely with client teams throughout the project, guiding them through the hands-on implementation process. Seminars and briefings on each cost-saving initiative improve understanding among internal stakeholders, enabling the organization to internalize capabilities through active participation and experiential learning.
Cost reduction tasks are identified and executed based on three principles: maintaining productivity, ensuring sustainability, and avoiding partial optimization.
Each initiative is jointly reviewed and refined with client stakeholders, and key milestones are validated through formal sign-offs to proactively prevent unintended consequences.
Client employee participation is minimized and carefully managed. To support successful outcomes, we also propose practical enablers such as performance-based incentives, KPI alignment, and leadership recognition. With an optimized task schedule and organizational setup, employee involvement is typically limited to key meetings, helping reduce their burden.
Indirect cost consulting is a specialized domain with broad applicability, unaffected by industry or market-specific constraints. We flexibly engage related experts as needed to deliver the most effective cost-reduction strategies.
Recognized cost savings are calculated based on the formula: [Actual spending over the past year – Projected spending over one year after implementing improvements] Consulting fees are then calculated by applying a pre-agreed performance-based fee rate to the validated savings amount.
Maintaining cost savings requires a cost management framework. NPI Consulting delivers solutions designed for long-term impact, and we recommend governance structures to support ongoing cost control. Upon request, we also provide regular maintenance consulting and cost management solutions to ensure continuity and impact.
System inefficiencies can stem from a variety of technical layers. While some issues are clearly tied to a single domain—such as applications, databases, or infrastructure—others require holistic diagnosis and analysis from multiple perspectives. With experts in each domain collaborating as a team, we identify and resolve root causes effectively.
Backed by over two decades of experience in IT performance diagnostics and troubleshooting, we provide IT optimization services that address not only visible problems but also latent risks.
