How we can help
Not every process should be automated
And not every constraint should be tackled at once. Our value comes from knowing the difference.
We analyse how you work, find the constraints limiting your growth, throughput, or revenue. Then we measure what each one is costing you.
We fix one constraint and analyse how the bottleneck shifts. Then we address the next contraint creating a continuous cycle of improvement, rather than a series of disconnected projects.
How the audit works
- 1Map the operation
We examine how work moves through your business, including the people, systems, decisions, handovers, and manual processes involved.
- 2Identify the constraints
We uncover the bottlenecks, process issues, and technology gaps affecting growth, capacity, service, and operational performance.
- 3Measure the business impact
We assess which constraints are having the greatest impact through lost time, delayed work, missed revenue, rework, errors, or staffing pressure.
- 4Prioritise the opportunities
We determine what should be addressed now, what depends on other improvements, and what should be tackled later.
- 5Build your roadmap
We deliver an Operational Improvement Roadmap that sequences the recommended improvements and explains how each one supports the wider operation.
You get a clear diagnosis, recommended actions, and a practical path forward.
What you will know at the end
You walk away with an Operational Improvement Roadmap, knowing:
- ✓The constraints holding your business back, and what it is costing you every month
- ✓Where your team's hours are actually going, and how many of them you can get back
- ✓What to fix now, what to fix next, and what to leave alone for the next twelve months
- ✓Your return on investment for each improvement
- ✓Where the bottleneck will move once you relieve the first constraint, so the next stage is not a surprise
- ✓What the first stage will cost, how long it will take, and what your team needs to commit
The audit
One engagement, one price, delivered within 10 business days of discovery.
Operational Constraint Audit
Identify the operational constraints limiting growth, throughput and profitability, quantify what they’re costing you, and get a prioritised roadmap for what to address now, next and later.
- ✓Discovery across critical workflows with relevant staff and stakeholders
- ✓Analysis of processes, systems, handovers, and manual work
- ✓Identification of the constraints limiting growth, throughput and profitability
- ✓Measurement of their business impact, feasibility, complexity, and risk
- ✓Identification of the highest-ROI opportunities for software, automation and AI
- ✓A prioritised Operational Improvement Roadmap showing what to address now, next, and later
- ✓Recommended scope, cost, success measures, and next step for implementation
- ✓Presentation and discussion of the findings with your leadership team
Around 6 to 8 hours of your team's time, scheduled in advance to minimise disruption to day-to-day operations.
Need a narrower or broader scope?
Focused Constraint Audit
One workflow, operational area, or known bottleneck. Same method, narrower scope.
Around 3 to 4 hours of your team's time
Talk about a focused scope →Business Transformation Audit
Constraints spanning multiple departments, systems, locations, or stakeholder groups.
Scoped with you before we start
Discuss your business →Fixed price. Fixed timeline. No lock-in.
Fixed price, fixed timeline
The price is agreed before we start and does not move. The audit is delivered within 10 business days of discovery being complete. If it takes us longer than that, it is our cost, not yours.
Your fee comes off the build
Engage us to implement the roadmap and your full audit fee is credited against the first stage of implementation. If you proceed, the audit effectively costs you nothing.
You own the roadmap either way
The roadmap is yours to keep. Implement it with us, run it with your internal team, or hand it to another provider. There is no lock-in and no obligation to continue.
