iB4e Methodology
Performance happens at the intersection of People, Process, Tools, and Environment. Without a concerted effort to balance these elements, performance is diminished and the enterprise suffers. At iB4e, we help identify and remove barriers to optimize performance in each of these key areas.
Our proven methodology, developed over the years in the business consulting arena, is simple and straight forward:
- Discovery: Determine the business goals and requirements
- Assessment: Conduct a fit gap analysis
- Solution Development: Construct an actionable gap closure (change management/performance improvement) plan with appropriate success measurments
- Implementation: Execute the gap closure plan
- Evaluation: Observe, measure, and improve the plan as needed to keep the solution on track
