Performance Transformation – Are You Missing a Beat ?

Strategic intent. Delivered.

At KzA we advise and assist, as a collective, the senior leadership team… of mid-market and larger organisations… to accelerate their business results… especially at times when they are facing difficult, strategic opportunities or problems in their chosen markets.

We work with our clients to improve, optimise and transform the performance of their organisations.  We achieve this by excelling at performance optimisation and transformational improvement, as driven by our proven approach to business transformation, and making decisive use of well-known techniques such as Lean-Six-Sigma and BPR.

Our consultants are all skilled and experienced practitioners.  They are second to none in the expertise they can bring to bear in helping you manage your opportunities and challenges.

We are all especially passionate about the implications of the unique and innovative

“Right First Time” Transformational Change Model (reference diagram to the left, click to enlarge), as developed by the Biz4ge Network, which clearly exposes in overview why many major change initiatives fail to live up to organisational expectations.

The model also points the way towards overcoming this common problem through an intelligent, appropriate and thoughtful use of Business Architecture as part of an organisation’s overall approach to Business Transformation!

We employ our highly effective Business Transformation approach to optimising operational performance and the associated delivery of concrete results.

Our definition of Business Transformation is:

“A key executive management initiative that attempts to coordinate and align the People, Process, Technology and Infrastructure initiatives in an organisation with its business vision and strategy so as to successfully meet and sustain its performance objectives.”

Given the breadth and scope of what we do it is essential that we are able to work up, down and across organisational hierarchies extending from the shop-floor to the boardroom…..coordinating and integrating plans, activities and communications.

To accomplish this effectively we deploy and tailor the “Right First Time” Business Architecture Framework (reference diagram to the right, click to enlarge), also as developed by the Biz4ge Network, to meet your specific requirements.

By doing so we can help you to:

• Coalesce, structure and clearly communicate your Performance Transformation vision.
• Build a multi-dimensional Business Architecture that clearly and explicitly defines and models the changes and outcomes you want to achieve.
• Select and use the most appropriate optimisation and improvement techniques and tools…..e.g. Lean-Six-Sigma, BPR, etc……to plan and carry out the work.
• Choose and implement the most appropriate enterprise software applications, including Open Source options, to enable and support your planned changes.
• Ensure the correct governance and controls are in place to see your plans through to a successful conclusion.

Our definition of a Business Architecture (as referenced above) is:

“The coordinating framework of an organisation that documents and provides a common understanding of how the People, Process, Technology and Infrastructure assets (existing or new) of the organisation will be structured so as to align with and achieve the objectives set out by its vision and strategy as well as satisfying nearer-term tactical imperatives.”

We are a certified affiliate of the Biz4ge Network of business architects and the related community of professionals who practice business transformation.  Many of our services and some of our network of associates derive from that respected source.
