The D3 Approach 

PHASE 1. DISCOVERY

CONDUCT ANALYSIS OF ORGANIZATION’S MISSION, VISION, STRUCTURE, LEADERSHIP AND OPERATIONS

The heart of the 2-week assessment discovery is assessing your organization’s operational culture and finding opportunities. Working closely with your team, we will determine the strengths and weaknesses of the existing operations. Staff skills and behaviors, as well as policies and any processes that may present obstacles in reaching performance goals. Clients are pleased to learn the magnitude of opportunities for improvement that are discovered during our assessment phase.

Week 1: Discovery Assessment

Using proven methods, we perform comprehensive analysis in areas including workflow processes. We often uncover pervasive operating issues that have become indoctrinated into the corporate culture and never adequately quantified to reveal the true impact to the business.

As part of our Strategic Solutions Approach, we take the time to detail line by line each operational improvement needed to achieve targeted results. We also specify the process for performance metrics and learning outcomes.

Week 2: Discovery Approach

After Discovery we outline the approach, we lay out the facts, and connect the dots with your team to validate the findings and set a course of action to bridge any gaps, eliminate root causes, and develop the roadmap of how to get from the current state to desired future state for success. Your organization is unique and requires a custom-built approach that fits your business and maintains your values and core beliefs to drive a sustainable performance improvement culture long after the engagement ends.

PHASE 2: IMPLEMENTATION/ EXECUTION

ONCE WE HAVE UNCOVERED THE PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNTIES IN DISCOVERY, WE MOVE TO IMPLEMENTATION.

Once we complete the Discover Phase, execution and implementation can begin. Once the Discovery Phase is completed, we present the findings to your team to determine the most effective implementation approach. We also provide a timeline defining the critical milestones and events, the scope of the engagement, the financial performance tracking methodology, and the duration of the partnership.

We roll up our sleeves and get to work with your front-line leadership and their teams to build a solid level of trust and ensure the plan is understood and embraced by everyone.

PHASE 3: EVALUATE ROI/SAVINGS

WE REPORT ON THE ROI/ SAVINGS FROM OUR ENGAGEMENT

In the last phase, we provide your organization with a detailed analysis of the real ROI and improvements resulting from our engagement. Ultimately, the success of our collaboration with your company is measured using your company’s specific progress and success metrics. Our goal is to deliver your organization sustainable and measurable results that continue your organizations growth for many years.
