Operational Untangling
Most organizations tend to get more complex over time. New processes, roles, and reporting lines are added. New steering groups and advisory boards are established. New cross-functional initiatives are launched. All with the best of intentions.
But the cumulative effect is increased complexity and entanglement...which means that goals and KPIs start to conflict, we spend more time in internal meetings, and have trouble reaching agreements on key decisions.
Some of the problems we help our clients solve:
Your company will begin to move rapidly enough to deliver change in one quarter.
Key stakeholder groups will deliver short-term financial benefits while creating the groundwork for long-term success.
We will implement accountability to ensure previous efficiency or cost-reduction initiatives won't fail in the long term and that benefits will be maintained.
Beyond Traditional Models
At The Rick Timlick Group of Companies, our view goes beyond the traditional event-based model of improvement because sustained improvement doesn't come from one event. It comes from a systemic change in events performed by leaders and people day after day. It is our perspective that performance gains are found by taking a holistic view of the organization and that's how we frame our methodology.
Our method of Operational Untangling connects strategy to operations, transcends organizational silos, enables a culture of continuous improvement, and focuses effort on the opportunities that will create the greatest value.
Companies that successfully improve do three things differently than their competitors:
1
They manage their businesses systematically through a consistent framework of disciplines, policies, processes, and targets to ensure that the business can fulfil the tasks required to achieve results;
2
They consciously invest in developing the culture and characteristics of a high performing work environment.
3
They implement established disciplines, skills and best practices into their operations to continuously improve. This means actively pursuing becoming a more agile and responsive organization.
We can help you successfully untangle your organization. Here's how:
