IDEAS Implementation - The OPERATIONAL Aspect
We engineer and streamline processes, we adapt Operating Models and we shape the Organization.
OVERVIEW
More than ever we are living in knowledge intensive economies where emancipated employees, partners and customers work together to produce and deliver the desired services. Real people are at the center of this challenging network of activities and this sets us the task of rejuvenating common process management methodologies which have their roots in the industrial past. F2B invests in developing refreshing process management approaches based on social and cognitive psychology which are utilized next to standard open source methodologies such as Lean & Six Sigma.
Most of the companies translate their strategy into a portfolio of projects used as a tactic to implement their vision. However, to be successful, the results of the projects (operational layer) and the portfolio (tactical layer) must be predictable and repeatable. And a “cockpit” providing the Senior Management with a clear view to monitor the results is needed.
VALUE PROPOSITION
Our “Operation” services are supported by 3 Value Propositions:
Cognitivix(TM), Project Excellence and Process Excellence.

interruptions. To that end the work personal environment, the personal work processes, the organizational structure, the use of technology and the personal work planning are optimized or redesigned.

Process Excellence: In F2B’s vision, process management cuts through all enterprise levels. The art of process management is the art of knowing which process management initiatives to deploy successfully on the strategic, tactical or operational level, in line with the organization’s process management capabilities. F2B is as much concerned with individual process management projects as with the enterprise’s maturity to sustainably govern and manage continuous process improvement initiatives.
