Why We Are Different

We believe that traditional re-engineering offers very little value in todays’ rapidly evolving digital world. Fixing a form or a sub process without an ETE view of the client journey or the employee experience is a waste of precious resources and time. We lead with analytics and insight and look at the whole process and all of its operating dimensions (strategy, policy, capability, org design, tools and technology). We leverage an outside-in perspective (i.e. starting with the client experience), whereas traditional BPR starts with an inside-out perspective. Our approach addresses ETE issues and discuss those issues in the context of the ETE journey and employee experience. We are highly collaborative and effective at enabling difficult conversations driven by analytics based insight. We have the perspective and experience that enables us to execute real transformative change on an ETE basis.

How We Work

We are a small group of experienced process, data, analytics and technology professionals who will “do the right thing”. We put your interests and success ahead of ours and live those values every day. We will do what is right for our clients even if it means making recommendations that our contrary to our short term interests. We are trusted advisors who will deliver pragmatic, practical advice and rapid ETE process transformation change execution. We have a predisposition to work collaboratively to “just get it done” for our clients and their stakeholders.
