Operational Review

We conduct in-depth operational
reviews of your agency.

To achieve an effective and efficient operating structure between you and your agency requires effort and leadership.

The benefits of maintaining a high-caliber approach to agency operations include:

  • A higher performing and higher quality agency team
  • Higher motivation
  • Stronger relationships
  • Improved outputs
  • Optimal commercial outcomes

Often, when wanting to improve agency operations, it’s difficult to know where to start. And conversations can be difficult to broach objectively. Uncovering the real challenges underneath the surface of a relationship requires an independent and expert third party. That’s where we come in.

We assess structure, process, commercial agreements, operations, state of relationship, capabilities and outputs.

Approximately 2-4 weeks, depending on scope.

We uncover such challenges via in-depth stakeholder interviews, run individually (in other words, without the other party in the room). We reassure all stakeholders that their words will not be attributed directly to them. We use information gleaned in interviews to map gaps in perception and 'red-thread' issues arising consistently; and when we report back to you, we practice radical candour. If what we have to say is sensitive, we will inform you in advance to allow only the appropriate personnel to be present for our report.

We use shared drive technology to store information with access limited only to the consultants directly involved in the project. We reassure all participants in briefing about how their commentary will be used. And we are happy to sign NDA's.

The deliverable is an in depth report, which we will discuss at length with you. The report is tailored by the process; things we find in discovery will shape the frameworks we use to comment, provide insights and recommendations. We are also willing to tailor to audience, based on your brief (for example, Executive Summary versions for your C-Suite, or similar).

We cannot release sensitive information about other projects. The best way to see validation of our work is to view the Testimonials page of our website, and read the case studies on our blog.
