We typically start by assessing the current state, understanding the pain points and evaluating contributing factors. We then recommend the metrics that are most critical to measure and improve on and establish benchmarks. Once agreed, we then work with the client team to come up with the best possible improvements that would address the pain points, support the strategy and deliver quick wins.
