“Why ask people to think outside the box if what they come up with ends up stuffed into a business improvement box…?” TLIR Group Thought Leadership

When Considering What to do to Improve, Grow, Streamline, Restructure or Consolidate the Business…

When an idea, impulse or imperative to change what the business does is first aired, that is the time when it is most critical to bring independent, unbiased subject matter expertise into the discussion.

Truly independent expertise is the only means by which the right questions can be asked, by which less than exact answers can be probed and by which the right scene can be set for total clarity and cohesion.

When you know exactly how what you want to do will be planned and executed, before you commit resources and funds - you can take steps to fill in any gaps or disconnects, smooth out any bumps and clarify any differences in understanding before you commit resources and funds - tomorrow will be too late and will be much more expensive!

TLIR advice and opinion allows corporate executives, government leaders and boards to truly appreciate and deal with the latent risks and inherent opportunities that are typically overlooked, ignored or taken for granted whenever business improvement of any scale, size, cost or criticality is on the agenda.

Early inclusion of TLIR expertise, experience and acumen (in person or virtual) will almost certainly point the way toward significant cost savings, quicker delivery, higher quality and better ROI...

A brief conversation to explore how these value propositions can be realized would be a wise investment of your valuable time.

When Planning How to Improve, Grow, Streamline, Restructure or Consolidate the Business…

TLIR helps assure the success of transformation projects irrespective of size, scale or importance through swift and unbiased analysis of who will be doing what to whom, where, when, at what cost, why and with what intended result.

Internal resources are not well positioned to provide clear, crisp and unbiased opinion for many reasons, salary continuance being one of many...

External resources whose future wellbeing/income depends on you moving forward with what they propose cannot possibly provide you with unbiased advice...
 
Basically; those who have to make a decision will be relying on insufficient, partial or tainted advice and opinion to make the right decision and... The wrong decision could be disastrous! 

TLIR expertise separates fact from fiction, diagnoses what is wishful thinking rather than reality, determines when a miracle is part of the plan and identifies what items or elements of the overall initiative are overstated, understated, misleading or problematic.

By knowing how transformation project execution may or will impact organization transformation intent, client executives have the means to mitigate risk, drive toward objectives and improve the prospect for success. 

The advice and support TLIR provides is always aligned to your best interests; on occasion, you might not like what you are told but, who else is going to tell you?

When Efforts to Improve, Grow, Streamline, Restructure or Consolidate the Business Run into Problems…

TLIR skill and expertise in bringing projects to fruition in a timely and effective fashion can be applied to any transformation project – at any stage. A transformation project might start well then stumble…

Projects with a mix of external resources are all but guaranteed to spiral into the wormhole of cost overruns, delays, vendor abandonment and dilution of consultant commitments.

Ego, power and control conflict run rampant; time and money is wasted while debate goes on and on and on.

Finger pointing, blaming others, covering one’s rear and other attempts at deflecting wrath take precedence over fixing the problem.

 Swift intervention and recovery of projects in trouble requires independent, decisive leadership to get the project back on track and meet expectations.

Call to confidentially discuss how TLIR can help you deal with troublesome projects...

When Taking Action to Improve, Grow, Streamline, Restructure or Consolidate the Business…

Organizations typically allocate senior internal people to champion if not actually lead transformation. A mix of internal/external resources of differing seniority levels are charged with managing critical elements of the overall project and many more internal and external resources are requested or told to support the project in various ways.

As transformation moves out of the starting gate, various and sundry influences exert pressure upon resources. These influences take many forms; some are extremely serious while some are merely nuisance value. These influences are not always readily apparent to those less familiar with transformation, certain influences need to be ‘red flagged’ at the very first inkling while others can be steered to one side.

While resources are focused on making transformation happen as it should, someone has to keep an eye out for these influences and if this is done in a non-intrusive, positive and supportive manner, double dividends are the natural result.

A brief conversation where John will outline the typical influences that arise whenever transformation is on the table can be quickly arranged; once you understand the potential impact of these influences you will see why it would be wise to have TLIR support your people.

When Improving, Growing, Streamlining, Restructuring or Consolidating the Business Needs Interim Leadership…

TLIR helps leaders address the pressures of managing important projects such as acquisition integration, global technology projects, downsizing, outsourcing, business re-engineering and converting business environments to the new internet/virtual economy.

Organization and/or Project Centric cliques and factions can turn the very best of transformation /improvement intentions into nightmares...

Those with a stake in the ongoing operation of the business are not necessarily able to make the right project decisions because of ambition, fear or subservience. TLIR sidesteps internal politics, focuses solely on objectives and allows nothing to impede progress.

Similarly, those with a stake in the outcome of the project are not necessarily able to make decisions for the sake of the business since their interests are not necessarily those of the business.

TLIR independent and unbiased leadership gets things done for the greater good of the organization.

Today; virtually all external project resources are driven by ‘per engagement greed’ where the intent is to realize as much revenue as possible over the greatest period of time possible. Getting these resources to deliver what they committed, when they committed is not for the inexperienced or the faint of heart.

TLIR propels and compels attainment of milestones and objectives while deftly managing expectations and commitments of vendors, service providers and internal business units.
