Organisations cannot stand still, they need to continually improve what they do. Strategies need to be progressive and dynamic, in order to keep pace with today’s ever changing market forces and consumer demands. The challenge is to remain focussed, and fully understand your current capabilities whilst building towards your future strategic needs.

Our four step maturity assessment and transformation roadmap is designed to work with you to develop and execute an improvement programme that keeps you ahead of the competition, and continually satisfy your customer needs, whilst delivering bottom line benefits.

We have combined the extensive knowledge of our consulting team, with latest academic thinking to produce a framework capable of delivering assessments and transformation in every sector and every style of organisation.

Our assessment and roadmap product will enable you to identify the things that matter most by finding out what matters most and focusing on their delivery with timeframes that impact most.

Overview

Why conduct an Enterprise Excellence Assessment?

The Enterprise Excellence Assessment provides insights on the current maturity of your organisation by benchmarking against recognised Enterprise Excellence principles and practices. We use the assessment insights to develop and execute an implementation programme to deliver sustainable customer results for your organisation.

What do we assess?

Our assessments look into key enterprise excellence systems that businesses should strive to be mature in to become a world-class organisation, and/or achieve the much-coveted Shingo Prize of Operational Excellence. The systems assessed are part of the 3 proportionate section of the Enterprise Excellence Model:

PURPOSE – Assessing and improving the essential strategic systems required to be deployed across the business.

PROCESS – Assessing and improving ‘your’ core and enabling processes required to operate effectively.

PEOPLE – Assessing and improving the impact of behaviour and dialogue required to create an improvement culture.

How do we assess maturity?

The other intersections and centre circle of the Enterprise Excellence model is what we use as criteria to assess the maturity of each system:

ALIGN – Assessing if objectives and standards exist are fully aligned to strategic needs and are adhered-to with discipline at every level.

ENGAGE – Assessing if all relative stakeholders fully understand why “we need to do this”, what their roles are, and are people fully supported and coached.

RESULTS – Assessing if there is a comprehensive set of system goals in place with expectations frequently exceeded and goals stretched by the teams.

IMPROVE – Assessing if the system is systematically reviewed at business and team level for effectiveness with governance plans owned and completed.

Developing your Roadmap

  • On completion of a maturity Assessment it is critical that a detailed implementation roadmap is created coupled with a governance structure to deliver changes within desired timeframes.
  • This will enable the organisation to fully understand how its systems, processes and tasks, need to be developed and integrated.
  • To support the delivery of these functional features, leadership skills and the ability to improve at each all levels are essential for sustainable success.
  • Our implementation model helps us understand these interactions and structure your improvement Journey.
  • The process can be further supported by our Enterprise Excellence Masterclass, Signature System Consulting Offers, Digital Transformation Capability and Accredited training programmes.

What can you achieve?

The Enterprise Excellence model has been continuously developing over a number of years and has both academic rigour and results-based proven practice from a variety of business sectors. The assessment conducted by a licenced facilitator is aligned to The Shingo Model of Enterprise Excellence and can act as a benchmark if the business is looking to pursue a Shingo Award in the future.
