Organizational Velocity - Improving Speed, Efficiency & Effectiveness of Business (PowerPoint PPTX Slide Deck)
PowerPoint (PPTX) 47 Slides
PROCESS IMPROVEMENT PPT DESCRIPTION
Lack of efficiency and effectiveness in an organization can have a significant impact on the overall cost of operation.
Organizational Velocity – Improving Speed, Efficiency & Effectiveness of Business provides a framework for diagnosing, assessing and implementing to improve the speed at which the organization operates.
There are two main areas for focus:
1. Process Audits – a framework for assessing key processes within the different functions of the organization and detailing where improvements are to be had
2. Workload Analysis – based on a workforce survey to identity where and what time in the organization is spent doing, including the efficiency and effectiveness of Meetings
The outcome from using the PPT framework will be a prioritised list of initiatives for implementation to increase organizational speed and reduce the cost of operation.
The document delves into the root causes of operational lethargy, emphasizing the critical role of "Organizational Will." It identifies unclear priorities and insufficient resources as key barriers to speed. The framework offers actionable steps to clarify priorities and review resource allocation, ensuring your organization operates at peak efficiency.
A comprehensive Process Recommendations Dashboard is included, providing a prioritized menu of improvement opportunities. Each process is evaluated for its potential impact and ease of implementation, enabling you to focus on high-value initiatives. The dashboard is designed to streamline decision-making and accelerate the implementation of strategic changes.
The workload analysis section offers a detailed assessment of how time is spent within the organization. It highlights inefficiencies in meetings and projects, providing insights into how to better allocate time and resources. This analysis is crucial for identifying areas where your organization can gain additional capacity and improve overall productivity.
