How We Work

ASSESS:
Listen to the Voice of the Customer
The client engagement starts with us working to understand and assess your needs as well as the maturity of your organisation. We work with you to develop a strategic plan, including an Environmental Scan; Vision, Mission, and Core Values; and a SWOT Analysis. If necessary, we also help you rethink your business model and position of your products and/or services most wisely to create value for your customer.
This phase helps everyone gain clarity on what matters most to your business and opportunities for improvement.

ALIGN:
Identify the True North
Every transformation starts by declaring a more powerful future. To move toward this future, we help you think through how you can deploy your resources to align with your ideal future state goals. For us, this process involves thoughtful conversations with your leadership team, A3 thinking, and other lean methodologies to create clarity and alignment across your organization.
This phase is about dramatically improving communication at all levels towards what matters most to the business.

AWAKEN:
Create New Awareness
With new awareness of wiser, more effective ways of working, people have a deeper understanding of the “Why” behind the “What” of any lean learning engagement. This not only helps your people get aligned around the need for change, it creates a meaningful sense of personal and team “awakening”.
This phase is all about learning new, more effective ways of working and inspiring hearts and minds towards gaining consensus.

ACHIEVE:
Lead the Transformation
Here is where the work really begins. We work with you to design and then lead improvement projects. Our goal? Rally all team members around your True North purpose, unlock more value for customers, and eliminate waste (time, energy, and resources) while introducing relevant digital technologies. We introduce new ways of working and thinking to your team members that encourages reflection and makes “continuous improvement” feel real and exciting for people.
This phase is about helping your organization transition into using a truly holistic framework for organizational excellence.

AUGMENT:
Develop People & Seek Perfection
No change project is ever complete or perfect. It is always changing, because change is law. We help you take ownership of the change work we’ve done together and sustain it for the long haul. We share clear, effective methods you can use to maintain and develop future talent with while building strong, inclusive teams.
This phase is all about sustaining excellence for the long haul through people development and smart systems design.

FAQs
What is the high level process and how long will this take?
We begin each engagement with a phone call or video conference (or an expenses paid visit your office/facility). Next, we summarize your needs in a RFP document. Once we agree on a contract, we start getting to work based on your organization’s unique priorities and needs. We design project plans based on our client’s unique business needs. In the RFP, we outline each phase of the project, the project’s total duration, as well as our various offerings.
How much would it cost?
We already have an ongoing Lean program. How can your program benefit us?
You will be surprised. We will never presume that we know your business or your customers like you do, but we are highly skilled at making Lean work for your team in such a way that you see improved morale and even better business results. We blend lean methodologies with other best practices to develop people, build the problem -solving muscle of your team, and systematically improve business performance by creating more value for customers.
We work with your company’s internal change agents, but love being a “fresh set of eyes” for you and your team. We’re laser-focused in our approach, and we work at an accelerated pace. Learn more about our team members.
Do we need any resources to work with you? If yes, what kind and how many?
Yes. In order to properly develop your team members and help you create systems to achieve sustainable business results, working with True North Solutions is a resource commitment. To get started on the engagement, we will need a lean sponsor (either the CEO or his/her designate). We will also need a Site Lean Leader/designate who will actively and enthusiastically participate in the change project (we will work with this person to become the future lean coach/sensei within the organization). And lastly, we will need a cross-functional team including a finance leader (controller) who will participate in the early value stream mapping and project scoping exercise.
