Process Simplification and Project Management
Do less to achieve more. Incorporate design thinking to simplify processes for both ‘business as usual’ as well as resource-challenged crisis periods. Apply project management disciplines to ensure priorities are executed on time and within budget, and properly integrated into your organization. Streamline processes to manage unexpected volumes, to ensure consistency of outcomes and to prevent knock-on fallout issues.
Information Management
Matter, document and records management are essential business practices that help develop insights, reduce waste, and manage risk. This is especially true in the self-serve environment of this pandemic. Minimize risk and maximize quality by having access to your most important information, through shared sites, centralized search capabilities or other platforms.. Enable ways to share knowledge (e.g. new regulatory developments, policies and standards, compliance frameworks) while maintaining consistency and quality assurance through templates and precedents. Don’t reinvent the wheel — reuse, reduce and recycle. Mandate timely records destruction consistent with retention policies to mitigate litigation cost and risk.
Data Analytics and Reporting
Insightful reporting for informed decisions. Promote lucid and relevant reporting across your business, leadership and boards, to enable better decision-making. Build trust and engagement by being concise; use clear language and consistent templates, and integrate information to avoid potential gaps and cumbersome reporting cycles. Precision + Concision = Better Decisions.
External Spend Management
Establish a program to manage a select panel of preferred vendors, to give you better cost predictability, greater purchasing power and mitigate contractor and subcontractor risks. Simplify your procurement process and ensure competition.
