Transformation support for high achievers

Engpassmanagement

The world is becoming increasingly complex and dynamic – organizations that think in terms of structures and roles can no longer keep up.

“Modern future-capable organizations control exclusively via the flow in the value stream networks and subordinate all others to it.”

Everything you have achieved and built up so far remains – only three elements are added:

  1. The bottleneck in your organization is deliberately placed and managed – all initiatives are launched in the same way that the bottleneck can always work optimally.
  2. All initiatives make progress and buffer consumption transparent – everything is focused on supporting the critical initiatives with resources and ideas – full cooperation.
  3. There is only one goal left, to eliminate the “buffer consumers”.

 

A self-organizing, agile, fluid high-performance organization is created in the shortest possible time and without effort.

Our approach to bottleneck management

A high-performance organization is not created overnight – every step needs to be well thought out. That’s why we proceed cautiously to prepare the change perfectly.

1

A lightweight online analysis, an operational walk-through and three to four interviews. That’s enough to see the potential and outline an initial solution idea.

2

Together with a few key people – knowledge transfer and concretization of the steering target – few days among experts.

3

Testing (“challenging”) the steering target by middle management – not only protagonists, but also preferably with skeptics. Building the master plan and generating buy-in from middle management.

4

Closing ranks with top management – middle management wants change.

The rest is change support – where we act like a coach in top-class sports. You perform – we support with tips and help to stay on course in difficult situations.
