TQ and Change Management
As sophisticated as today’s systems are, they can only take you so far. At some point, the organization must make concessions in order to solve its challenges. This fine line between technology and business process is often over-looked, but critical to successful solutions
Process Consulting (Lean Six Sigma)
As sophisticated as today’s systems are, they can only take you so far. At some point, the organization must make concessions in order to solve its challenges. This fine line between technology and business process is often over-looked, but critical to successful solutions. Lead & Vector Consulting specializes in this area and actually attempts to address each challenge from a process perspective prior to the application of any technology solution.
To that end, our Lean Six Sigma approach is simple:
1. Start by defining legacy processes
2. Work with the client to determine undo risks or inefficiencies
3. Develop risk mitigation strategies
4. Work with customer to determine possible efficiency gains
5. Implement non-technical process improvements
6. Implement appropriate technology solutions
Process improvement
The first step to process improvement is mapping your existing processes in a clear and concise way, so you can begin to understand those areas that require amendment in the context of your organisation’s goals and objectives. Lead & Vector will help you document your existing processes, and then provide structured workshops that allow you to explore areas for improvement and define your desired processes.
We’ll even help you understand the impact of these changes across your organisation, and ensure that you involve the right people in their implementation and enhancement.
Whether you’re thinking of improving a small part of your organisation’s processes (such as sales generation and management), or you’re looking to undertake a large business process reengineering (BPR) initiative, Lead & Vector will take your performance to the next level.
We have extensive experience of the following sectors:
· Banking
· Healthcare
· Local Government
· Manufacturing
· Retail
· Telecommunications
