Process Transformation

We help businesses streamline, organise and optimise business processes to build a high performing operation. Our integrated approach to business process excellence covers architecting, governing, improving, automating & optimising processes.

Mission

Our mission is to build a high performing organisation through business process excellence.

At the heart of every high performing business are efficient processes, well architected and designed to an optimum, automated for straight through end-to-end processing, delivering a superb customer and staff experience, and continuous monitored, managed and improved by leaders and frontline staff alike.

This mission of process excellence is central to creating thriving workplaces, retaining and growing revenue, and optimising cost. Achieving this mission is central to any transformation agenda.

Capability

We are deep process experts with a significant background in Business Process Management (BPM), Lean and Six Sigma (LSS), intelligent process automation using a variety of automation strategies and solutions spanning Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Intelligent Document Recognition (IDR), Low-Code Platform Services and more. Our team of process Master Black Belts and Black Belts (to borrow ‘belt’ parlance from Lean Six Sigma) have driven large-scale process transformation across various sectors and business areas, have lectured and trained several thousand staff, and delivered extensive improvement portfolios.

In particular, we have solved complex challenges in high-throughput transaction processing and optimising large-scale administrative work processes in operations centres spanning banking & financial services, logistics, aged & disability care, and telecommunications, amongst others. Similarly, we are specialists in physical value stream optimisation across a range of physical processes including manufacturing (process and discrete), hospitals and patient flow, fast moving consumer goods, and resources sectors for CSG well delivery, amongst others.

We have engineered an advanced Business Process Excellence framework that integrates three classical, often distinct, approaches in Process Management, Process Improvement, and Process Automation. This framework pragmatically blends the best of Lean, Six Sigma, BPM and more, within a five-stage maturity model, that delivers superior results while building long-term internal capability.
