Operational Efficiency

Find wins, uncover waste, make your business run smoother.

If it ain't broke

Don't Fix It (?)

We become so accustomed to things that, even when they're barely functional, as long as it's not a headache to us, we don't worry about it.  But, are your staff cursing your antiquated systems?  Are you missing out on thousands in lost profit because of something simple?  Maybe what "ain't broke" is slowly rotting your business from the inside.

Situation

Where you are

Assessing the current status is where we always start.  We kick this off with the KRROP Assessment, which will give us an overview of where (or if) there's anything to help with.  As we engage with your stakeholders we begin to understand where things are currently, and how the cogs work together to make your business engine run.

Where you're going

Looking at objectives helps define what needs adjustment.  We want to make sure your team is aligned and bought-in, so that we're all steering in the same agreed-upon direction.  It also defines the operational changes/updates that need happen.

Measurement

Define

What does your company measure? So often, we look at what we think we should look at, but often this is not correct.  The KRROP team are experts at defining the right thing to measure so that your path to "Where you're going" is clear.  The cost of measuring the wrong thing can waste tons of time and, worse even, fuel misguided decisions.

Analyze

Once you know what you're measuring, you have to analyze it correctly.  How you slice and dice the data needs to take into account how it was input, so that biases can be normalized out.  The result: A good foundation for decision making, and, inevitably, better, data-backed decisions.

Action

Pick 2

We consider ourselves eternal optimists, but sometimes our experience trumps that, and we recognize the need to be realistic in how we act.  So, as the old adage goes: Cheap, Fast, Good -- Pick 2.  And, in the meantime, we'll keep pushing to find a way to deliver all three... We'll certainly let you know when we've found it.

"We can do it"

Occasionally we encounter teams that just needed help with the thinking and analysis, and that's okay.  If you have a team who can execute tactically, we'll get out of your way. We'll stay nearby though, should you need our input or helping hand. 

How we start:

The Complementary KRROP Assessment

The Tee-Up

We start with 30-minutes of your time.  The purpose is to establish where you want us to focus our Assessment.

We'll talk about objectives, departments, stakeholders, NDAs, etc.  And, we'll explain exactly what you get from us once we complete our analysis.

Anything you learn is yours to keep, no fine print.
