For ASEME, your organization and processes are your company's engine.
Strong processes is key to move effectively to seize new markets and opportunities and weak processes will move you nowhere at all. The one key indication of a cluttered organization and process is that senior management has to stand behind out-of-process initiatives to accellerate or completely bypass normal process and organizations, in order to acheive anything at all. ASEME can map out your organization and processes to maximize value contribution from the individual departments and ensuring that your processes work for you instead of stopping your initiatives dead in their tracks. ASEME can run change projects to transition your organization and processes into an effective clutter-free engine for your company to ensure you can react to changing markets and world order.
The value chain is the fundamental responsibility of senior management. It defines the major steps within your company that generate your defined value. Is that an invoice payment finding its way to your account ? Or is it more complex than that ?
Each step in the value chain should be represented by a department where the head is accountable for that specific step. Senior project management ensures the smooth flow of data, and value delivery across the value adding departments.
Examples of Value Chains:
ASEME helps defining your values and to map your value chain and assign ownership, ensuring that parallel value chains (like web-shops vs. physical stores) do not create redundant overhead or reduce the end-user experience.
A department's management must understand its input, its contribution to value, and its output. Departments and business processes are two sides of the same coin; once processes are developed, they must be anchored with the department management team.
ASEME analyzes your organization to maximize efficiency and reduce overhead. We focus on the perceived ability of a colleague to do their job—ensuring the quality of input they receive allows them to deliver a meaningful contribution and a clean handover to the next person in the chain.
Your business process is your company's engine. Each departments management team should host generalists to ensure delivery flow across the business process, area specialists to maintain the process, and dedicated IT/Quality consultants to safeguard tool quality, data and standards.
Measuring Process Health: ASEME helps set up metrics to score process steps without publicly measuring individual colleagues. We evaluate:
This scoring provides the insight needed to ensure that organizational changes actually add value rather than just moving overhead around.
When a process area becomes sufficiently complex, a specialized sub-department should be considered. Think of it like an octopus: the main department (central brain) dictates the goal, but the sub-department (arm-brain) manages the detailed movement.
These specialist teams often serve multiple projects, warranting a Delivery Manager to negotiate deadlines and plan execution—often within an Agile environment.
Analyzing how well your IT tools support your business processes provides a measurable metric of their value. We calculate this by comparing end-user scoring against maintenance costs.
Metrics for Tool Evaluation:
ASEME can help you setup tool scoring to gain control over your supporting IT Tool Landscape.
Supporting functions like IT, HR, Quality, and HSE must be designed to be scalable and flexible. They should support all value chain steps without becoming a bottleneck.
ASEME ensures these shared services are structured to grow and shrink with the business needs to avoid high-value contribution being hold up for months due to an unscaled supporting function.
Using simple interviews throughout your organization with process review templates, we can map out your value chain, organization and business processes and conduct an analysis to understand first of all, where you are, but also to identify pain points or map the road to where, you want to go.
It doesnt have to be a lengthy process. In our experience, we have a good sence on when to maintain overview and when to dive into detail.
There can be many causes for wanting organizational change.
Lets have a talk on what you want, ASEME can map the way to your definition of success.
Upon analysis and defined success criteria of your organizational and process changes, ASEME can with you setup a project charter, and a project organization.
We then run or support change projects to transition your organization towards less overhead, higher quality, and increased colleague satisfaction.
