Process Improvement
Process improvement is essential for operational health and competitive performance. South Barn Consulting Ltd has design and delivery experience of both continuous and strategic process improvement in clinical and pre-clinical research environments. Continuous process improvement uses “instant learning” techniques to improve processes incrementally without inherently changing the purpose of the process itself. Strategic process improvement involves substantive and directional adjustments to operating processes, sometimes delivered through a process change project. We offer the following component activities supporting process improvement:
Problem Definition
Information gathering through questioning or metrics analysis
Process mapping
Application of appropriate analyses - root cause, gap, swot
Precise articulation of the problem with scope definition
Solution Possibilities
Inferences from defining the problem
Generating additional possible solutions through brainstorming
Listing possible solutions for comparison
Solution Evaluation
Compare possible solutions (intrinsic benefits, ramifications, costs, risks)
Select preferred solution; understand why
Solution Implementation Planning
Risk and impact analysis - implementation and communication strategies – resource needs assessments – time management
Solution Implementation
Performance metrics - change management - project management
Meeting Facilitation
In most organisations “the meeting” is the usual forum for information gathering, discussion, negotiation, reconciliation and business decision-making. Many meetings are considered effective, but organisations can benefit substantially by improving the outcome from key business meetings, by allowing an independent facilitator to manage meetings and their participants.
