Organisational Development

Are you a Coach, Consultant, HR Specialist, Business Advisor, Accountant or VC?

Do you need to get under the surface of an organisation or company?

Do you want to maximise returns for your client?

Do you want tools and approaches will help you be more effective?

Then read on…

It’s not always easy to pinpoint where a business is going wrong. Especially when you’re under pressure and can’t see the wood for the trees.

But help is here. At RapidBI (or Rapid Business Improvement), we can radically improve ANY business’ performance and quickly (hence our name).

As a consultant, accountant or business advisor, you’ll know that every company has areas that could and should be improved and particularly ones that aren’t firing on all cylinders. You can help ensure their future survival.

Our business improvement techniques, established in 1998, have been used hundreds of times by hundreds of varied and different-sized companies – from Scottish Enterprise, Honda and KLM, to small, five-person businesses. The results have been astounding.

Your client can feel these benefits too. Our methods are tried, tested… and they really work. Fast.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

Apart from quickly diagnosing areas that need business improvement, we offer these benefits:

* COST-EFFECTIVENESS. Our market-leading business solutions are competitively priced and will save your client wasted time, effort and money.

* INNOVATION. The techniques we use to achieve results are straight-forward but innovative. They have undergone extensive development, both academically and in the field.

* INCLUSIVENESS. When performing a health check on your client’s company, we make sure to include staff at every level of the organisation, from the cleaner to the managers on the board. We realise that if ALL staff participate in the process, then ALL staff will know that their contribution and viewpoints are appreciated. Result: happy, valued staff who feel included in their company.

* CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. Our high level of service and customer commitment is key to our success. And our level of experience and knowledge in implementing our business solutions is, frankly, second-to-none. Why would you go anywhere else?

* FLEXIBILITY. Our methods can easily fit in with your client’s working practices and timescales. We can also perform a regular business health check to avoid errors creeping back into future company procedures.

* A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH. We’re thorough. We’re also independent. That means we can deliver honest, helpful, and objective feedback that can make a real difference to your client’s business.

WHAT WE DO?

Over the years we have developed various tried and tested techniques exclusive to us which perform diagnostic checks on your client’s company, whatever its size or sector.

These unique techniques will highlight the strengths and weaknesses of their working practices; indicate where improvements can be made; and also where things are working just right (it’s always nice to know).

For example, if sales are low, a company MD might think his sales team is to blame. And it might be. But perhaps the fault lies elsewhere in a less obvious, hard-to-find corner of the company.

Because poor performance can occur anywhere in an organisation and create a devastating knock-on effect; so we know it’s important to run a health check at every level of a business. Unlike some of our competitors.

This means we can accurately pinpoint areas that need improvement immediately, saving your client time and money. It’s what makes our technique so successful.

RapidBI also offers choice. You can either buy these tailor-made techniques as off the shelf products from us, and we’ll train you in their use.

Or, if you prefer, we’ll visit your client’s company direct and do the whole lot for you.

USING JARGON

Within consultancy, organisational development (OD) and human resources (HR) it is not uncommon to use a language which makes extensive use of jargon. Where possible we avoid such jargon, however sometimes when simplifying a process, some of the subtleties are occasionally lost. For that reason the section below is provided to provide more detail on our processes and approaches.
