Rapid Work RedesignSM allows a company to swiftly re-think and re-invent key business processes to obtain significant, targeted improvements in measured performance. This includes the examination of organizational mindsets and their redesign when necessary. In a rapidly changing global economy, traditional work process reengineering takes too long to keep up. Rapid Work Redesign dramatically reduces the time required to design and implement critical changes.
Conventional business process mapping can consume days and sometimes weeks. Rapid Work Redesign is a methodology that enables redesign teams to map a business process in usually less than two hours without sacrificing quality. Teams are provided remarkably efficient tools with which to examine existing processes. By learning proven, creative procedures for re-inventing work, teams save money, increase productivity, and improve quality.
Regardless of the industry, this breakthrough technique results in a dramatic decrease in the time required to produce the vital process map. This method has been proven to be effective in redesigning everything from sawmills to worldwide distribution systems, from global oil and gas company operations to national sales and customer service systems. In most cases, we have found that the "as is" process maps can be completed within only one day. Additionally, "to be" process mapping is usually completed in 20% of the time traditionally required and with improved quality.
State of the art processes are of no value until they are implemented. Therefore teams are trained to design from implementation rather than toward it. In a nutshell, this means taking into consideration the real world of implementation, which includes the people who will be doing the redesigned work.
Rapid Work Redesign begins with a work session for team leaders and team members followed by regular coaching sessions. During the work session, team members learn the fundamentals of Rapid Work Redesign™ and how to apply them directly to their particular projects. The style of learning is dynamic, highly interactive and intensely relevant. Teams leave the initial work session immediately implementing some of their new process designs.
Rapid Work Redesign, Pharmaceutical - A biopharmaceutical's medical and scientific affairs group with inefficient and often nonexistent processes experienced ongoing loss of time and money. Applying Insigniam's methodology they rapidly redesigned 13 processes with a projected savings of $750,000 in the first year of implementation.
Rapid Work Redesign, Textile - A Chinese textile company was committed to developing the expertise, systems, structures, and processes necessary to accomplish rapid growth in a highly dynamic industry.
