Why Propel

We go beyond processes to examine products and people including staff performance, management behaviour, and use of technology that are critical to your business operations. Propel does not simply leave clients with a report of recommendations. We employ a participative approach to engage your people through every step of our engagement. Through interviewing employees and managers, reviewing documentation, and observing processes, Propel Solutions addresses key areas to improve efficiency, optimize cost, and improve quality through effective organizational design.

Development of Baseline KPI’s – We analyze historical financial data to determine specific improvement objectives.

Capacity Analysis of Current Processes – Find out what is currently limiting your capacity for growth.  Propel will conduct a thorough analysis of current capacity and provide a tool to measure this moving forward.

Mapping of Key Processes using industry best-practice Business Process Mapping Notation (BPMN)  – We create process maps to set the baseline for process analysis. We interview managers and key employees to draft process maps, including information flows, roles, and system touch points.

Identification of Quick Wins – We identify and assist with the implementation of simple process improvements that do not require additional investment.

Identification of ‘Real’ Savings – Propel’s unique methodology ensures that savings are quantified, and targets are set for all key performance measures.  We ensure that the savings are “real” and will hit the bottom line.

Change Management Strategy – Propel will conduct an initial assessment of your organization to identify your change readiness. From there, we develop a comprehensive plan to address your organization’s unique change management needs.
