Perspective

Assess, Improve, Change

Effective business process design & management is a key differentiator for organizations seeking to increase revenue, improve customer satisfaction, reduce costs and improve overall operational efficiencies. Business transformation or even incremental improvement starts with good process design, end-to-end process management, layering in effective Organizational Change Management (OCM).

“As organizations undertake digital transformation efforts, an important realization emerges; Process Matters.” – Forrester Research

Assess

Knowing where to start is often the most challenging aspect of any initiative. Our readiness assessment applies tools, methods and experience in a focused, short-duration engagement (usually 4 – 6 weeks) to help target, scope and prioritize business processes to help ensure change is applied in the right place, at the right time, with the right resources.

We outlined strategic business objectives, tactics and initiatives, saving a national governing body from losing their Olympic position and charter. We helped them achieve a surplus of funds and recognition of their improvements.

Change

A key Daugherty differentiator is how we have integrated Organizational Change into our delivery model. Industry research show if organizations are 43% more effective at managing change, they will have tripled their likelihood of project success.

Nearly any improvement project, business or technology will change how work gets done:

Automating tasks and process steps
Realignment/redefinition of roles and responsibilities
Reorganization
Mergers and acquisitions
Major technology upgrades, consolidations, sun-setting legacy systems

Organizational Change Management (OCM) is absolutely critical to ensure projects are successful, change is embraced and sustainable, and ROI is realized.

One of the largest food and industrial products corporations ended up $100 million over budget and two years behind schedule. We established a standard change management plan for dozens of business units. By focusing on processes, we enabled the number of business unit implementations to triple in a year.
