The Cross-functional Diagnostic in four steps

Schedule [1 day]

Some preliminary information, provided in a quick visit or a phone conversation, is sufficient for Ernani to create a detailed schedule of brief interviews (30-90 minutes each) with one or two key people from each process area.

Interviews [2-3 days]

Brief interviews are enough for a fast, yet thorough survey of all critical operational processes of your organization. It identifies teams, responsibilities, workflows, relationships between processes, procedures, roles, tools, policies, and performance indicators.

Analyses and Report Building [2 days]

All operational processes are extensively analyzed. Key aspects evaluated are: 1) organizational structures; 2) operational models’ consistency; 3) dynamics, maturity, and synergy of operational and managerial processes; 4) organizational scalability; 5) knowledge management (means and current status). Conclusions are organized for a detailed presentation.

Executive Meeting – Conclusions Report [4-6 hours]

The diagnostic’s results are presented in a meeting with the executive team and optionally invited managers. Conclusions are thoroughly presented–positive aspects to potentialize; limitations and conflicts to eliminate; opportunities to explore; priorities for evolutionary and corrective measures; insights; supporting information to plan integrated process improvements and for strategic planning.
