Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our operational consulting services

Most clients begin to see measurable improvements within 4-6 weeks of implementation. Initial results often include reduced meeting time, clearer role definitions, and improved team communication. More substantial operational metrics like cycle time reduction, error rate improvement, and productivity gains typically manifest within 2-3 months. Our implementation approach focuses on quick wins early in the process to build momentum while working on longer-term structural changes.

We work with organizations of all sizes, from small businesses with 10-15 employees to large enterprises. Our approach is tailored to your specific needs and scale. For smaller businesses, we often focus on establishing foundational processes that can scale with growth, while for larger organizations, we may concentrate on cross-departmental integration and efficiency. We offer flexible engagement models that accommodate different budget constraints while still delivering meaningful operational improvements.

We establish clear, measurable KPIs at the beginning of each engagement based on your specific business objectives. These typically include both quantitative metrics (cycle times, error rates, productivity) and qualitative measures (team satisfaction, collaboration effectiveness). We conduct regular check-ins throughout the engagement to track progress against these metrics and make adjustments as needed. At the conclusion, we provide a comprehensive report comparing baseline measurements to final outcomes, with ROI calculations where applicable.

Yes, we offer several ongoing support options after the initial engagement concludes. Many clients choose our quarterly review package, where we conduct regular check-ins to ensure sustained implementation and address any emerging challenges. We also offer training refreshers, process audits, and ad-hoc consulting hours that can be used as needed. Our goal is to ensure that the operational improvements we implement become permanently embedded in your organization's way of working.

Our approach is distinctly practical and results-focused. While we're well-versed in operational theory and methodologies, we prioritize implementable solutions over theoretical frameworks. We also emphasize knowledge transfer, ensuring your team develops the skills to maintain and evolve the improvements after our engagement ends. Additionally, our deep understanding of New Zealand's business culture and challenges allows us to provide contextually relevant solutions rather than applying generic global models. Our consultants also bring extensive hands-on operational experience rather than just consulting backgrounds.
