However, limiting the role of processes to merely the foundation for efficiency efforts is a mistake. Enterprise-wide processes are the unique way by which an enterprise delivers value for its customers. In essence, it is an enterprise’s secret sauce—the roadmap that directs employees on how to consistently deliver a specific product or customer experience. Every enterprise is a collection of processes that work together (and not uncommonly against each other) to produce the enterprise’s outputs.

Buying a car has never been a simple decision. They say that it’s probably the second most expensive thing you’ll buy after a home. In the olden days, you would simple go into a car showroom and purchase a car outright with cash.

We're talking about—setting up and training an organization to operate an innovation portfolio. Our innovative approach gives you the capability to do much more than simply track projects. We help you identify initiatives, craft an initial solution design, develop a business case, rank the initiatives against each, and arrive at an optimal investment of resources. And then we help you set up the processes to manage the portfolio on an ongoing basis. As the process culls initiatives not forecasted to deliver benefits and rightsizes investments, you’ll find the investment pays for itself. Even better… it supercharges the competitive capabilities of the organization. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5602ff92e4b00b7f04b0f820/1493930993676-ZV26X2J8FEV58PFQDUVQ/image-asset.jpeg Solutions - Enterprise Opportunity Assessment This program is a high level look at the strengths and weaknesses of your enterprise.We not only conduct interviews of key stakeholders, we directly observe your operations in action. The result is a list of improvement ideas that can be ranked, vetted, and pushed into an innovation portfolio. This approach is broader than cost reduction (although some cost reduction ideas may be brought to light)and allows for a holistic perspective on the ongoing activities and potential of an enterprise. It is a great tool for venture capitalists and executive leadership teams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5602ff92e4b00b7f04b0f820/1493931206104-TSVW82UIAX44EDU87EI9/image-asset.jpeg Solutions - Enterprise Cost Reduction Our systematic approach to examining the spend across an enterprise and compiling a list of cost savings opportunities, then confirming the list with key stakeholders and prioritizing the list for capture. This allows your company to know where costs can be eliminated with the option of acting on it. Historically, Ephesus has identified close to $35-45 million for every billion dollars in revenue of an organization. This approach also serves as a great health check on your organization—letting you know where there is excess … and where there is room to beef up. http://www.ephesusconsulting.com/home daily 0.75 2016-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5602ff92e4b00b7f04b0f820/1446223864815-TPTLI2T1HJLAB5K9FTUP/image-asset.png Home-2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5602ff92e4b00b7f04b0f820/1446224180223-Y94FEZWP45CZI3ZJF6B5/image-asset.png Home-2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5602ff92e4b00b7f04b0f820/1453661428600-VEEWNBQ098CWY2JWFX4B/image-asset.png Home-2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5602ff92e4b00b7f04b0f820/1453666852935-5K3TCKMX0T5S7E4A4RM4/lightbulb.jpg Home-2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5602ff92e4b00b7f04b0f820/1453667567818-RP30J6DM5QVFPS7FIZUJ/business-backdrop.jpg Home-2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5602ff92e4b00b7f04b0f820/1453667116504-PUR6HXJT7M6VNNBIHJPP/black-and-white-city-man-people.jpg Home-2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5602ff92e4b00b7f04b0f820/1453667429187-PVQTIPFVXXFWR3SGK4DQ/blog-post-3-David-hamme.jpg Home-2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5602ff92e4b00b7f04b0f820/1446224378970-40W7BHZF3E766HO1WDOB/image-asset.png Home-2 http://www.ephesusconsulting.com/404-not-found daily 0.75 2016-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5602ff92e4b00b7f04b0f820/1453752454441-XOWCEIW4L3KMHO8EB0C3/image-asset.png 404-Not Found Page Not found...
