Contents of Service Improvement Implementation Support
Step 1 : Agree service improvement plan is current.
Objectives, people and processes move on. The kick off meeting will confirm if anything has changed, what will be impacted and how planned timescales will remain.
Step 2 : Stakeholder and supplier communication
We’ll set up reporting systems so that weekly updates as to progress, accelerators that are speeding matters up, and hurdles slowing matters down, are visible.
Step 3 : Supplier’s due diligence
We help to support on-going collaborative workshops to ensure the supplier stays on track with the remediation planning process. In turn, you will achieve your expectations faster.
Step 4 : Remediation technicalities
We’ll help you and the supplier govern each of the steps of the remediation process and track progress until the project and relationship is achieving the expected benefits.
Step 5 : On-going Client and supplier stakeholder facilitation
During remediation, tensions between client and supplier stakeholders often runs high. We help everyone to focus on the big picture by taking the heat out of day to day interactions.
Step 6 : Retaining contractual protections
Day to day project management behaviours can often undermine existing contractual protections. We assure contractual protections stay in place.
Step 7 : Positive re-shaping
During implementation of service improvements, planned activities are sometimes no longer aligned to outcomes. We ensure re-shaping remains aligned to current expectations.
Step 8 : Supplier relationship/performance management
We lead on supporting optimisation of the relationship to ensure the remediation process remains fit for purpose on an on-going basis.
