Process

TBI’s initial engagement will typically be in the form of our Operational Audit.  Though the application will vary from client to client, the basic components of this process include:

  • Initial Meeting with company management for orientation to business.
  • Confidential Interactive Sessions with selected employee groups.
  • Synthesis of feedback from Interactive Sessions.
  • Written recommendations presented at a return meeting with management.
  • Training for use of ongoing quarterly Operational Audits performed by Company.

Written Recommendations will provide both an outline for Company Implementation and a proposal for a TBI supported Project Plan for the opportunities uncovered.  The Operational Audit will unearth:

  • Simple operational obstacles to efficiency that can be easily corrected.
  • The potential for new processes needed for maximum efficiency.
  • Employee attitudes and perspectives that affect company performance.
  • An evaluation of current systems for job definition, training, communication and looped feedback.
  • An employee perspective on opportunities with enhanced tools and equipment.
  • Potential value of Business Intelligence systems that are either absent, present or under-utilized.
