Programs 

Strategic Alignment

All programs should align with the overall strategic goals of the organization. This maintains focus on the company's vision and mission. Without strategic alignment, objectives across stakeholders can be misaligned, leading to missed opportunities and/or program failure.

Resource Optimization

Planning and allocating resources to the right places and avoiding duplication of effort and waste of resources are essential to program success. To optimize resource allocation, each process must be evaluated to understand its value to the program, potential areas for automation or enhancement, opportunities for additional training, and possible removal.  Rewarding and empowering high performing team members and creating incentives for improved performance help to optimize resources.

Project Management | Risk Mitigation

Successful programs have clear, consistent, and structured ways to identify, assess, and manage projects and risks. They have methods to bridge dependencies and create conversations, limiting delays and improving overall team performance. Creating an environment of open communication where positive and negative feedback, and ideas are shared maximizes opportunities for growth.

Standard Operating Procedures 

A broken process can be devastating to a business. Having clear, streamlined and standard processes is essential to both efficiently utilizing resources and to providing a world-class experience to your customers. What are your current operating procedures? Are they documented? What are areas that could be optimized to help reduce costs, increase productivity or improve quality? Mapping out the existing process using flowcharts, process diagrams or written procedures and gathering data on the amount of time taken for each step, resource usage, and costs help to locate bottlenecks or inefficiencies. This could mean eliminating redundant steps, automating tasks, reordering steps or making other modifications. These changes can lead to cost savings, increased efficiency, improved quality and growth based on enhanced customer satisfaction.
