Optimizing Value Consulting Service

Every business unit and business function in your organization has a series of ongoing “business-as-usual” incremental improvement projects that are essential to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of current operations.

Further, these incremental “business as usual” improvement projects are often tied to employee performance reviews and performance bonuses.

The focus of the optimizing value is to address the question - how do I balance delivering on my short-term incremental improvement initiatives with achieving the longer-term strategic change initiatives to optimize customer and business value within the resource constraints of time, talent and budget.

Determining and balancing the value of short-term projects and long-term strategic initiatives is accomplished in weeks rather than months!

Consulting Approach and Deliverables

Working with your team, we provide our strategy execution experience and expertise, including best practice tools, techniques, and methods, to facilitate high-intensity, short-duration, sprints to rapidly optimize value via balancing short-term projects and long-term strategic initiatives.

Deliverables include:

Identify current and upcoming department/group “business as usual” incremental improvement projects and analyze the value contribution and resource requirements of these projects.
Identify current and upcoming enterprise-level improvement projects and analyze the value contribution and resource requirements of these projects.
Analyze the value contribution and resource requirements of the strategic initiatives identified and prioritized in the Create and Prioritize Strategic Initiatives workshop.
Analyze various options for balancing short-term incremental improvement projects with longer-term strategic change initiatives to optimize customer and business value.
Analyze strategic initiative potential impacts on employee performance reviews and compensation plans.
Create an integrated, multi-year, budgeted plan for executing both “business as usual” projects and strategic initiatives.

Who from your team should participate?

Balancing short-term projects and long-term strategic initiatives typically includes a balanced mix of decision makers responsible for executing strategy within each layer of the organization. For example, an organization's C-level and senior leadership team, and/or divisional/business unit leadership and management, and/or functional/department management plus any additional stakeholders that can provide additional insight into your organization's short-term incremental improvident initiatives and/or longer-term strategic initiatives. HR and Workshop group leadership participation in also recommended.
