Approach

We start by listening to you and your teams to identify the current frictions and outline a strategy for total improvement across the organization. We assist in defining people, processes and platforms involved with key practices from analysis through implementation. The project roadmap is frequently re-prioritized due to changed business environments and new insights.

Our standardized projects

Business process improvements are always based on actual business frictions, are aligned with brand & business strategy and are sponsored by senior management and supported by your employees.

We strongly believe that many business processes can be standardized even across companies. We have categorized business frictions and related business processes in order to come up with standardized ‘best practices’ for projects and processes.

The following project tools have been designed to quickly and efficiently implement a new environment of people, processes and platforms.

Business Support Team

After the implementation of a project our Business Support team will become your first point of contact for the ongoing ‘maintenance’ of the implemented solution. This ensures that processes and systems can evolve over time making sure that solutions are truly sustained. If you have a new opportunity or challenge a project team will be formed enabling an ongoing cycle of continuous improvement.

Your Knowledge Base

Documentation of the implemented solution will be made available via your online Knowledge Base. Process flows, platform configuration, training materials etc are made available digitally and can be accessed via any web browser within your company. The Knowledge Base will provide you with a reference to former projects and will ensure proper knowledge transfer whenever required within your company.
