The Trans-Form Process

Trans-Form Process

Holistic Approach

We see organizations as a total system. Change efforts must recognize the interdependencies and linkages that bind organizations together. We utilize a methodology for business process improvement that considers opportunities for change across all functions. This participative process carries through from design to implementation.

Leadership Alignment

Implementing change requires a strong leadership coalition that demonstrates vision, passion, and integrity. A champion of the agenda for change must lead the effort from the beginning and provide continuity throughout the process. Top-down change can only succeed if the champion and leadership team are fully aligned.

Process Orientation

Significant improvements require stepping back and analyzing entire processes across organizational boundaries. Emphasizing quick wins in improving processes enables employees to see the benefits of process improvement and minimizes any threat they may perceive to change.

Sense of Urgency

Change is relentless; particularly in financial services. Using proven techniques to cut cycle time enables our clients to implement changes on an aggressive schedule without sacrificing quality or commitment. We bring experienced resources to the table and don’t waste client time “educating the consultants.”

Teams

Complex organizations today require an ability to build and leverage the collective skills and knowledge of people. Utilizing the team structure to drive the change process will enable your organization to optimize the expertise that already exists through inclusion and involvement.

Knowledge Transfer

Unlike many consulting firms, our aim is not to create a dependency relationship with you. Our commitment is to transfer our experience to your people so they are able to sustain the process improvement effort over the long-term. This is why we prefer to work along side your line managers during the life of the project.

Reward System Redesign

Changing employee behavior starts with the performance management process and the compensation system. We believe that you get the behavior that gets rewarded in the organization. We have significant experience in the design and implementation of new approaches to reinforcing and rewarding the behavior that enables organizations to achieve better business results.

Measurements Motivate

We believe that performance measures of an organization help to clarify and operationalize the business strategy. Our experience includes design and implementation of practical dashboard and scorecard reporting tools.
