The first meeting is informational in nature and is designed to learn about your vision, goals, and priorities. We will provide a high level review of our methodology and approach, the deliverables you will receive, define the scope of the assessment, and discuss delivery timelines.
Your diagnostic assessment will uncover root cause issues that allow us to baseline your performance relative to best practices both within and outside of your industry sector. We will establish key performance indicators and provide you with a quadrant analysis on how your key metrics perform relative to best in class organizations.
