Delivery Excellence Assessments
The goal of every business is simple: Increase Customer Satisfaction, Generate more Revenue, and Maximize Profits. Achieving this goal in today’s challenging and turbulent economic conditions has become increasingly difficult. Businesses responding to competitive threats, technology changes, financial strains, and demanding end users, are under enormous pressure to implement change. The pressures are further compounded as the businesses deal with inadequate management & governance systems, ineffective processes, technology & tools prone to failures, and a dissatisfied & disconnected workforce. The results are significant enterprise outages which are impacting revenues, causing perception issues & reputational damage, employee & customer attrition, and additional spend on new technologies, consulting services, and transformational projects.
The Delivery Excellence Assessment, which has been developed from extensive global experience across a diverse set of industries and countries, focuses on Operational Management, First Line Management, and Upline Management Systems. These three primary dimensions are under-pinned by a robust Employee Engagement, Enablement, and Empowerment System that aims to strike the right balance between establishing Employee Engagement Initiatives, Management & Governance Systems, Processes, And Tools & Technology.
The Delivery Excellence Assessment can be implemented as a reactive measure to respond to critical situations, a proactive measure to assess the health of the operations, or as part of a comprehensive effort to establish a robust enterprise framework.
