Increasing your organization's efficiency

Often times business is moving fast, perhaps too fast. 
Understanding your company's processes, values, and regulations will enable your employees to perform to the highest standards and prepare effectively for future growth. 

On-boarding

There have been dozens of articles and studies published showing the "true" cost of hiring new employees and getting them up to speed, but how often are new hires given a tour of how an organization really operates?

Now imagine that the training process isn't what they learn from their neighbors but from a published resource manual which points them to the correct standards, templates, and internal resources when inevitable questions arise.

Standardized Templates

Most organizations have templates.  These templates are intended to be standard across divisions, locations, and functional units. How often have you found that an employee "tweaked" one to fit their specific need?

By evaluating all of the templates in production and pulling the most valuable data from each, we can work with you to provide the templates your users will actually use, protecting the company and providing a united face to your clients & vendors.

Efficiency Gained

Your organization has undergone a change.  A new policy is going into effect at the beginning of the quarter for all Operations staff.  Emails have been sent to staff.  

What if instead, your standards manual is updated and links are provided to staff from their desktop?  What if your employees have the information to do their jobs better at their fingertips?

Workflow

What steps and hand-offs should exist within your business processes?  Does Operations have a clear indicator of when Business Development has completed their tasks?  Do we know when the Financial team, or Legal, should be involved in a client dispute? 

Documenting your processes with unambiguous responsibilities gives your employees the authority and accountability to do what needs doing within expected time-frames.

Brainstorm Advisors can help your organization by faciliating the process with your functional teams to evaluate what works or doesn't and how the pass off of tasks between teams can either be a gain in productivity or can cause pain downstream.   Once the issues are identified, we will help your teams solve the "how to's" on implementing the appropriate operational changes.  Change is hard, we can make it easier.
