A Two-Day Workshop
This workshop comes with
“Our Nothing to Lose Guarantee”
Workshop Purposes:
Simplicity and Bureaucracy
To assist an organization in creating much more “clarity and simplicity” in all its operations
To help an organization move from a top down, high control oriented style of management, to a flatter organization with decisions pushed to the lowest level.
To improve productivity and empowerment with the same or a reduced work force.
To involve multiple levels of the organization in an effort to immediately remove bureaucracy, unnecessary work, policies, practices, reports, and approvals from the organization.
To build in a mechanism to ensure that follow-up occurs and the momentum for change and reduced bureaucracy is maintained.
To clarify and simplify your complex bureaucracy and improve crossfunctional and horizontal coordination and collaboration.
NOTHING-TO-LOSE WORKSHOP GUARANTEE
We guarantee that we will generate simplicity, cost savings, and waste elimination recommendations as well a ways to clarify and simplify your business. We use our copyrighted (1) Simplicity and Bureaucracy Workshop and (2) our own organizational assessment of your organizational waste and complexity/bureaucracy.
We guarantee our results will be equal to or greater than our fees for developing these recommendations with your employees.
If not, we don't get paid our fees, just our direct expenses, so you've got “Nothing-To- Lose.”
We also strongly believe we will generate more than enough simplicity, cost savings, and waste elimination in your organization to provide the funds for an entire culture change project to “create enhanced customer value.”
Thus, this initial set of recommendations on waste elimination is only a “down payment” on the return of your investment in us.
