Change can be ongoing or triggered for many reasons. Whatever the motivation for change or method employed (Top Down or Bottom Up), recognition for the need for change needs to be swiftly followed by action. The process of
identification and quantification of drivers for change are the same.
Appropriate data collection and analysis will define precisely where the
greatest opportunities exist for reducing costs and improving performance
that will positively impact bottom-line performance and profit. Consultancy Support is
equipped to collect data generated from personnel interviews, observations,
MIS, control and process data for analysis. Objectivity - consultants commit their time and skills to each assignment, uncompromised by conflicts of interest, demands on their time and free of internal politics. Quick and accurate
status reports of client operations, administration, systems and process can
be produced to establish the current situation in terms of resource
utilisation and efficiency, cost-effectiveness, process performance,
organisational effectiveness etc, forming an accurate basis on which to base
impending change. Top Down or Bottom Up? Top Down refers to managing changes necessary to meet long term objectives downwards through the management structure and systems. Top down requires a long term implementation strategy designed to bring about a lasting change in organisational performance and culture. Good for managing corporate culture, supporting capital equipment investment programmes or the introduction of new management systems. A Bottom Up approach takes a critical look at every aspect of the
business process, resource input, (utilisation, efficiency cost effectiveness
etc.) and quantifies each for its contribution to bottom line performance. Controls and management
reporting systems are either refined or installed from the bottom up
(Supervisors to Director), to ensure that every minute and financial input is
directed in the most cohesive and cost-effective series of controlled
processes to ensure success. The bottom up approach challenges legacy
systems and practices, enables off-schedule events and problems to be recognised
and remedied as they occur and reports progress and variance against plan and
budget upwards, in a structured and timely manner. Confidence in our work enables us to promote a positive attitude in those around us. Typically assignments continue to improve performance and profits long after we leave. The range of projects
we have undertaken is too varied to list here and clients never seem to want
off-the-shelf solutions, so why not contact us for further information or
call for an informal chat about what is currently on your mind? |
