Need everyone facing
the same direction?

Align your structure, processes and people resources for maximum effectiveness and efficiency.
Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Merely developing and announcing a new strategic direction for your organization isn’t going to cut it if you are looking for real results. Structure, processes and people misalignment are notorious barriers to successful strategy execution. Deliberate concentration on aligning your internal mechanics is key to strategy success and engagement of your people.
Work with us to discover the pain points and bottlenecks in your business before they arise. Through our Aligning your Business service, we help you discover the best organizational structure, define roles and responsibilities, and smooth out core processes to achieve maximum effectiveness and efficiency of your business.
Get a bird’s eye view of the effectiveness and efficiency of your business and build a plan that decreases time-to-market for your products and services, and increases satisfaction for your employees and customers. The Ontario Public Service
set out to increase customer
satisfaction.

We contributed to business process improvement efforts to decrease the average turn-around time for answering letters from the public. The work resulted in a four-fold reduction from 47 days to 11 days, beating the customer service requirement of 15 days.

A key part of a business leader’s role is appropriately allocating resources and actively looking for and resolving obstacles that could potentially derail your strategy.

Planning and aligning your organization requires dual focus on results and managing execution. It is imperative that leaders optimize work processes to get things done. It requires inventorying the six fundamental areas if organizational effectiveness to learn how each area works, and how best they can and should work together. It also requires tenacity in reviewing and reengineering business processes that are holding things up.
Both business process improvement and employee engagement are critical.
When you identify and create the processes necessary to get work done, you increase your profit potential and commitment of your employees. Nothing drains a business’ bottom line more than inefficient and ineffective processes. It’s death by a thousand papercuts.
Focusing on continuous improvement lets you seize opportunities.
Workfactors uses the Queen’s University IRC Blueprint for Diagnosing Organizational Effectiveness©.
This assessment goes further than drawing the lines and boxes of an organization chart. The Blueprint surfaces the core work of the organization, makes clear the processes and procedures for how work gets done, and brings to light the social interconnectedness within and between work units that enable work getting done.
Our approach typically affirms the strategic aim of an organization and easily positions it for next-level alignment through our Grow your Talent and Master your Context services. Our collaborative process
provides you:

• Fit for Strategy Test
• Flexibility for Change Test
• Capabilities and Resources Test
• Relationship Test
• Accountability Test
• People Test
• Leadership Test
• Feasibility Test

We align businesses to increase productivity by decreasing unnecessary work.
