Services Efficient business planning
Most common approach Experience tells us that most often, companies do not pay too much attention to business planning as an on going and important step in their business process. Once a plan is made: How often do these paper and electronic documents get measured against? How regularly are they updated? How many employees focus their daily activities on delivering against them? Frequently some of the goals from one level become objectives for the next level down in the organisation. When this happens, it assures that goal oriented action plans anywhere in the organisation can be traced up the company to demonstrate that they are in support of the top level objectives and strategy. When there are gaps in that linkage, it is common to have misunderstandings and efforts that are not aligned and hence not as efficient nor as effective as they could.
Six Sigma Steps� approach To increase efficiency (such as internal processes) and effectiveness (for example increasing yield and productivity, eliminating complexity or reducing cycle time, meeting or exceeding the customers� expectation every time) we integrate the Six Sigma tool as an integral part of the designing and delivering process of your business plan. This ensures that every transaction and interaction in a process, is an opportunity to meet or fail to meet business plan expectations. We will help you develop your business plan from your vision and mission statements. We also help put together your strategic planning (encompassing customer loyalty strategy) and your analysis of strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats (known as SWOT analysis). Once a strategic direction is set, some general objectives are agreed upon. Against these, Six Sigma Steps helps develop specific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic, time-bound goals (SMART criteria). Each goal has an action plan to assure that it is achieved, and results are measured, analysed, improved and finally controlled (Six Sigma technique known as DMAIC).
