Business Performance Improvement

Improving business performance is an imperative to which organisations dedicate substantial amounts of time, energy and money. Yet not all of these investments bear the fruits expected of them, some of them even compounding the initial problem or giving rise to a new generation of issues.

We think of organisations as systems, endowed with their own dynamics and interactions. And just as we apply rigorous approaches to matters like process design, we also recognise the relationships between those processes and other important elements of the system within which they operate; elements such as:

  • Organisational structure
  • Human behaviours
  • Reporting relationships
  • Corporate culture
  • Information flows
  • Performance indicators
  • Information systems
  • Allocated roles and responsibilities

Our work integrates these elements. It assesses dependencies and impacts across areas and functions, and addresses the manner in which the model as a whole will behave, once proposed changes are injected into it. Will they produce the desired behaviours or not? Will they generate the anticipated results? What side effects could they trigger?

While our work tends to produce healthy cost savings, we are prouder still of its focus on productivity improvement and other important elements that speak to organisational growth and health: elements like quality, safety and innovation.

We like to think that our work lays the base for enhanced sustainability, profitability and corporate longevity. Because we are interested in results, we will assist with change implementation, adjusting the change blueprint with you until the model works.

We have served banks, insurance companies, mining companies and government entities, across a range of assignments that include:

  • Business model design
  • Whole of operations design
  • Organisation design
  • Key process design
  • Governance advice
  • Change implementation
  • Change implementation planning
  • Change-oriented coaching

“We have as a Firm little interest in ad-hoc solutions, proposals that merely play at the edge of the problem or cosmetic arrangements. It is the complexity of organisational systems that attract us, understanding how the pieces operate with one another and how those elements can be better orchestrated.”

“We work hard at that understanding, and typically produce very good outcomes – real outcomes and identifiable improvements. What pleases me even more than shareholder returns is client employees who believe their work more productive, better organised, freer of frustrations – and thus more worthwhile”, stresses Benoit Trudeau, Managing Director.
