two days. The first day is a full day at the executive’s
office during which core principles are presented in

Business
Process Productivity Consulting
Generally tied to an initiative, we help
your company, department or team to create work and
operational excellence to meet your customer’s
requirements. You may be coping with restructuring,
new missions, new role definitions, or new technologies.
Regardless of the challenge, our result is to ease
the transition from current methods and procedures
to the more efficient and effective processes that
support your new direction (initiative).
- Analysis and Value Stream
Mapping – The basic business process
of the new initiative is analyzed and mapped to
clearly identify the value of the intellectual product
to the customer.
- Environmental Study
– Investigation, research and analysis is
done to obtain a clear picture of the present state
including current manual procedures and technological
support.
- Recommendations and Modeling
– Creation of an architecture and plan, unique
to the client’s enterprise based on the previous
analysis and study.
- Implementation
– Training and/or coaching of the personnel
involved to insure the understanding, buy-in, and
implementation of the initiative.

The Clarity
Process
Think Strategically - Focus
Sharply - Move the Entire Value Chain Quickly
The effective deployment of any new strategy
or initiative requires that organizations move through
the transformation process at an accelerated pace. This
cannot be achieved using conventional methods and time
frames. To achieve ownership, momentum, and speed, organizations
must rapidly design, build, and implement the new initiative.
Based on the work of Deming
and Marshall Thurber, the Clarity Process will guide
your senior leadership team to:
- Identify and focus on the first
15% of issues vital to organization’s success.
- Understand the interrelationship
between those vital issues
- Focus on the steps to be executed
to become or remain the most successful organization
possible in your domain
