Frequently Asked Questions

That is tough to answer as it varies. We dig in and design a visual of your process that identifies the bottlenecks, delays, and wasted effort within your current product or service. After the current state is captured, we work through a future state and outline a plan to get from today to tomorrow. Companies we’ve worked with are always excited about reducing waste but are often more excited about their employees’ newfound time to grow the company vision.

Most often – employee frustration. As a society, there are certain on-demand expectations we have become accustomed to – from new release movies on our TV to groceries on our doorstep within hours. These are possible due to the processes governing your company’s oversight, employee decision-making authority, and communication systems working in tandem. We look into all of these processes and align everything to work together. Like Thomas Edison said, “There’s always a better way to do it…find it!”

Your employees will undoubtedly work at different speeds, but often the imbalance is hidden within the actual process. A critical first step is analyzing the operational value stream your team is working within. This process is designed to uncover the unnecessary routines and duplication of efforts that have created unequal workloads in your organization. Finding and eliminating wasted effort within the value stream results in increased employee output without increasing their effort to get there.

This is probably the most significant differentiator between wildly successful companies and those that bump along. Having a well-defined communication process focused on ensuring that information is heard correctly, understood in the manner intended, and relevant positively impacts the bottom line. You win when you have a great communication flow between employees, technology, and within the employee-technology ecosystem.
