Corporate Consulting Process

We begin most corporate alignment projects by starting with a single function like finance or manufacturing and map the current business processes, interview the people who interact with the processes, capture knowledge about how they do their job, analyze the findings and compare the actual processes with the systems. We then design optimal processes that best use the systems. We work with the employees to implement the new processes and create “buy in”. We then calculate the return on investment from the new processes. We then radiate out into the rest of the organization to align the processes in other groups ultimately bringing the complete company into alignment.

We also learn about whether People have:

• “Bought In” to the company's strategic and tactical goals
• Personal benefits from using existing processes
• Personal risks associated with changing current processes
• Competitiveness awareness
• Can contribute to profitability
• A need to be refocused
• Performance goals for themselves as well as a team
• A feeling they can influence the company and department’s culture and climate
• Competitive professional skills
• Customer and supplier knowledge
• Adequate systems expertise
• Clear communications with others
• Feelings of Accomplishment
• A feeling they are appreciated
• The support they need to accomplish their goals
• Personal values that align with company values and goals
• What they need in their careers and personal lives
• Income Goals
• A Life Attitude/Spirituality
