The Benefits for our clients

·         Case Studies

Achieving Superior Performance

For all organizations, the pursuit of excellence is an ideal to which they aspire. Unfortunately, for many this remains an ideal as the enemies of excellence are deeply rooted. Poor management decisions, poor communications, lack of required skills and unwillingness to change for change sake, are among the chief culprits.

Evidence based decisions, required skills, attention to the goal and intention to achieve are the main factors required to achieve outstanding performance.

Farthing West addresses these issues, leaving its clients with not only solutions that are fully embraced by those involved in the implementation, but also with new skills, tools and an eagerness to continue learning and improving.

Improving Return on Human Capital

By engaging employees in solving complex problems residing in real work-related systems, our clients achieve a measurable return on the investment already made in their employees.

The Farthing West processes promote cultural change because the people who are responsible for the work own the problems and the solutions. Their experience is valuable and used to generate new ideas, monitor their own processes and implement continuous learning.

Our attention to the way in which people learn -real-time learning, is also proven to be the fastest way for change to be adopted and the more formal and less effective "chalk and talk" training is eliminated.

Improving the relationship with Collaborative

Partners Because the Farthing West process takes a panoramic view of the organization and uses a set of tools designed to address the Social issues of an organization, we are able to include strategic partners in the process.

Most organizations agree that the theoretical benefits of outsourcing and collaborative partnerships are possible. Unfortunately, what many experience are varying degrees of difficulty, as staff of both parties resist change, fail to modify now outmoded systems, use information as a source of power and a myriad other "people" issues.

The Farthing West model treats collaborative and strategic partners as part of the system, identifying where they can contribute to the problem and the solution, and engaging them appropriately. Our clients have found that this process is especially valuable when they are planning to outsource a function or want to realise the benefits of up-stream and down-stream collaborations.

The results are seamless interfaces and the anticipated benefits fully realised.

Faster, better and more sustainable results

Our results are typically achieved in a fraction of the time expected for the desired change to occur.

Because we address multiple points of impact simultaneously, an accelerator effect is generated as each individual improvement adds to the next, producing a much larger impact in a shorter period of time.

The holistic approach we take, ensures that the problem is solved, not just moved to another location or disguised for re-emergence later. Results are real and sustainable.
