Quality Circles, Business Process Re engineering, Total Quality Management, ISO 9000, Six Sigma - the list of methodologies focused on managing processes keeps growing with no end in sight. And the list of failures in the process arena keeps growing too. More then 85% of process efforts fail . and fail miserably. Why? While each implementation is unique, two themes are consistently mentioned by companies that are struggling with managing processes - methodologies that aren't grounded in the "real world" and a recurring lack of execution in implementing improvements. How can a company avoid these pitfalls?

Our methodology, Breakthrough Process Management (BPM), is firmly grounded in the "real world" with proven, measurable results that exceed customer expectations. BPM is based on simplicity and execution -- we relentlessly focus on conducting targeted analysis that identify realistic, prioritized solutions to endemic process problems. Our team relies heavily on structured, data-based decision-making in order to tightly focus corporate resources on those solutions that optimize return on investment. We also ensure complete knowledge transfer during our engagements, enabling management to continue to benefit from our efforts well into the future.

BPM is straightforward, easy to implement, and produces results. Advantages include:

"The Heart of the Matter" - Metrics

Identifying and implementing process fixes is only half the battle - ensuring process improvement success requires extensive use of metrics. Our team is well grounded in selecting appropriate metrics and conducting statistically relevant analysis. We rely heavily on statistical process control charts, histograms, and Pareto charts in order to gauge the success of improvement activities over time.

At the core of our proven analysis is Fusion Point, our breakthrough process and project management tool. Fusion Point provides management with the ability to link process improvement projects and programs to one or more operational performance metrics. This unique capability provides managers and executives with a sure way to measure the magnitude of impact that process improvement efforts provide to the business.
