Our time-tested and proven methodology, known as the 5D methodology, is a cornerstone of our success. Developed by our founders with over 24 years of project management experience, it encompasses five key stages: Discover, Design, Develop, Deploy, and Drive. This structured approach ensures comprehensive project execution, from initial discovery to ongoing performance improvement.

Stage 1:

Discover - The critical first stage where we identify the business objective. This phase, lasting 2 to 4 weeks depending on business size, focuses on understanding objectives, documenting the 'as-is' process, and creating process maps. Toll gate sign-offs from stakeholders are required to advance.

Stage 2:

Design - In the second stage, we craft the 'to-be' process using tools like value stream mapping. This phase runs parallel to Discover, lasting 2 to 4 weeks. We outline 12, 24, and 36-month process visions. Toll gate approvals ensure alignment with business objectives.

Stage 3:

Develop - Next, we develop new processes and environments. This includes creating Standard Operating Procedures, tools, transitions, and training. Lasting 4 to 8 weeks, this stage ensures knowledge transfer with a soft toll gate.

Stage 4:

Deploy - This stage tests and implements the process in a controlled environment with a fallback plan. Regular governance and a hard toll gate lasting 4 to 8 weeks ensure stakeholder sign-offs and success monitoring.

Stage 5:

Drive - The final stage is business as usual, implementing the new process model with regular governance via dashboards. This marks the beginning of our transformation journey, emphasising continuous improvement.
