How we proceed together
-
Sprof and top executives of yours spend a couple of hours to get the joint "helicopter" view of your business. All necessary bureaucracy, like non-disclosure agreements etc., should have been taken care of before that.
-
As a CxO you might have some expectations, strategic initiatives or operational or managerial pain spots you want to address, influencing the our "exercise" ahead.
-
Very shortly after that, Sprof bring in their business analysts and start working. The work is data collection and processing, interviewing key people, doing some short questionnaires, understanding your processes, taking part in some key meetings and other activities and making all kind of observations throughout the business units(s) and functions under loop.
-
Depending on the size of your organisation, scope and expectations of your assessment, some 3-6 business analysts will act as your partners for approx. 3-6 weeks.
-
Findings and potential items are presented to you as they appear, and savings or development potential figures have to be controlled also by your controllers. And Sprof does not claim anything without concrete proof and by customer validated figures.
-
All commonly approved saving potential and other development issues are then transferred to the business potential log.
-
At the end of the opportunity assessment phase Sprof will sum up a 2-3 hour final presentation of the savings, findings and other addressable observations and present the finalized blueprint, how and at what speed a major part of the revealings are to be repatriated.
-
Having together done this, then it is about time to enter the Stardom phase.

3. Managerial Effectitiveness
Everything relies on management. It is crucial to understand
the preferencies and leaderships styles of those in charge. Part of the assessment is to observe managers management routines on daily bases and also via interviews clarify how aligned key managers are on strategic goals, business model execution, customer orientation and project portfolio issues. .
4. Sequence of operation

However, Sprof's business analyst are both interested in how precise they are, and above all. is the organisations in control of bottle necks, tricky quality critical working stages and workflows.
