Five Elements of Success
Over 100 collective years of consulting experience have helped us to understand that great companies are successful for a reason. We believe these companies have successfully aligned five essential elements in their businesses. We call these Five Elements for Success.
Strategy
Strategy implementation is one of our team's strengths. It often starts by partnering with our clients to align on strategic plans before moving forward with change initiatives. We believe the strategic direction must be clearly articulated and communicated to the organization to enable success.
Processes & Technology
We believe well-developed business processes and supporting
technologies are keys to strategy implementation, along with
consistent execution of day-to-day tasks. We help develop and
deploy industry best practices tailored to a business' unique
requirements to unlock value for the organization. Identification,
selection and successful implementation of appropriate
technologies to support business processes furthers the value
realization.
Cross-Functional Alignment
The most successful companies are well aligned across the business
functions. This includes strategic agreement, clear understanding
of every department's roles and responsibilities, an organizational
structure which enables accountability, and leaders who support
the same company direction and objectives.
People
All businesses are ultimately run by people. A critical part of any
project is ensuring people are prepared to implement the changes.
Once we have identified strategy, process, or technology changes,
we will recommend ways to enable people to embrace changing
what they do and how they do it.
Company Culture
While leaders influence company culture and vice versa, an
established company culture has a major influence on how a
business implements change. We seek to understand and leverage
the company's culture to bring about the smooth integration of
needed process and organizational changes.
