STOP THE
KINDER
GARTEN
NOW

GROW UP...

…and end Kindergarten once and for all in your organization.

It sounds so simple. Two ingredients only. Fact-based decision-making foundation. Clear decision-making process with new roles. Yet graduating Kindergarten is easier said than done... that’s why you need a tested approach.

Step 1: Maturity assessment.
Assess two dimensions. Meeting productivity, decision speed measured qualitatively and quantitatively. Data analytics performance evaluated in structured grid.

Step 2: Single source of truth.
Bring decision-making foundation to the next level. Leveraging the true potential of big data. Enabling the own organization to unleash the power of state-of-the-art tools. Facts over feelings.

Step 3: New roles and process.
Define dedicated roles in decision making process: the informer, the referee, … Implement new guiding principles for your meeting culture. More speedboats, less tankers.

Case Implementation of big data analytics tool: Pharma industry ~25bn revenue / +100 sites

The challenge? Data everywhere. Big data. But no traction, no grip, no conclusions, no tangible outcomes. Analyses the old-fashioned way. With data excerpts in dinosaur spreadsheets…

The approach? State-of-the art. Replication of data in digital twin. Home grown competencies for analyses. Internal data science team to use big data analytics tool.

The outcome? Next level decision-making. Accepted in the organization. Drawing the right conclusions and leveraging the power of big data.

Case Decision process improvement: Automotive industry ~40bn revenue

The Challenge? Unclear decision authorities. 80% of time blocked (and significant parts wasted) daily for N-1 in meetings with no outcome. Time wasted to finally come to conclusions. Tanker instead of speedboat.

The approach? Assign roles in decision process: the informer, the challenger, the referee, the decision board. Radically change the meeting culture. Trim down participant lists to max. 8 persons. No more optional invites, no more tentative acceptance.

The outcome? Ownership assigned to right level for increased speed. Radical reduction of meeting time for major management levels. ~30% management capacity freed up for value-adding work. Accelerated decision-making. Meetings worth attending again.
