A SIMPLE, PROVEN PROCESS FOR OPERATIONAL TRANSFORMATION

Every engagement follows the same four phases, whether we're tackling a specific operational challenge or transforming your entire infrastructure. This approach ensures we build systems with you, not for you, so they're sustainable long after we're gone.

1/DISCOVERY

We figure out what's broken and what you're trying to achieve

What we do:

  • Audit your current operations across people, processes, and technology

  • Understand your strategic goals and operational priorities

  • Interview your team to understand real-world pain points

  • Identify your biggest opportunities and constraints

What you get:

  • Clear diagnosis of operational challenges

  • Understanding of root causes, not just symptoms

  • Prioritised opportunities based on impact and feasibility

  • Realistic assessment of what's possible

Outcome: We know exactly what needs to change and why.

2/DESIGN

We plan how to fix it together

What we do:

  • Define your operational purpose (what you're optimising for)

  • Co-create solutions matched to your maturity and context

  • Select the right tools and workflows for how your team actually works

  • Build implementation roadmap with clear milestones

  • Get stakeholder alignment before we build anything

What you get:

  • Operational strategy aligned to business goals

  • Solution designed around your team, not generic best practices

  • Clear roadmap with phased approach

  • Buy-in from the people who'll use the systems

Outcome: Everyone understands what we're building and why it matters.

3/IMPLEMENT

We build it with you, not for you

What we do:

  • Set up tools and infrastructure hands-on

  • Build workflows and processes together

  • Migrate data and integrate systems

  • Train your team through doing, not presentations

  • Pilot with a subset, refine based on real usage, then roll out

  • Handle resistance before it derails adoption

What you get:

  • Systems built to your specifications

  • Team trained and confident using new tools

  • Documentation that's actually maintained

  • Processes tested and refined with real work

  • Solutions that stick because your team helped design them

Outcome: Your operations work the way they should, and your team owns them.

4/HANDOVER

We ensure you can maintain it independently

What we do:

  • Final training and knowledge transfer

  • Document everything needed for ongoing maintenance

  • Ensure your team can troubleshoot independently

  • Establish continuous improvement processes

  • Celebrate what you've achieved together

What you get:

  • Complete ownership of your new systems

  • Documentation and resources to maintain independently

  • Confidence to evolve systems as your business changes

  • Clear understanding of what success looks like going forward

Outcome: You're operationally independent and equipped for the future.

WHY THIS APPROACH WORKS

We audit before we prescribe Too many consultants arrive with predetermined solutions. We diagnose first, then design specifically for your situation. No cookie-cutter approaches.

We design around how you actually work Systems should serve people, not control them. We build around your team's reality, not how a textbook says they should work.

We pilot before we commit We test workflows and tools before full rollout. If something isn't working, we cut it quickly rather than forcing adoption.

We build capability, not dependency You own the systems. We ensure your team can maintain and evolve them after we're gone. No ongoing dependency on us.
