Who We Are

 

If you are on a mission to change yourself, your team, your organization, or the world, we can help. We are an organization development consultancy that specializes in ultimate business transformation.

The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System focuses solely on global organizational development. Our focus on development of organizations allows us to provide a unique knowledge and understanding that other international firms are not able to bring.  Our consultants are handpicked because of their experience in the region, and because of their understanding of how organizations develop and, particularly, how the soft-side of organizations work.

Using a collaborative consulting model, wherein our consultants work very closely with employees at all levels of the organization, we are able to analyze, diagnose and problem solve the needs of the organization. We do not offer ‘off the shelf’ or ‘best practice’ solutions, but unique and best fit experiences that will drive the organizational culture to one of higher performance and strategic alignment, which allows for a deep understanding of organizational realities. Additionally, it assists to predict, manage and quickly respond to emerging dynamics of each step that the individual team or organization has taken to reach the desired state – Organizational Effectiveness.

The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System consultants bring a life and energy to our clients that help them discover what they are capable of becoming and the strengths that lie within their own people. Our clients’ find that our collaborative energy and solutions are just what they need, not what someone else says they need.

Our new business process consulting approach leverages our Lean Six Sigma legacy, but enables us to look more broadly at our client’s strategy and business process challenges to identify ways in which The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System can help them address their most critical business issues.

 

What We Do

Too many operations, consulting and process improvement initiatives miss the mark because they are nothing more than the “flavor of the month.” Oftentimes, these process improvement efforts fail because they are disconnected from the real business strategy of the company and/or scoped too broadly. The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System’s approach to operations improvement is grounded in the development of an intimate understanding of your unique business circumstances.  We apply personal development, change management, Lean Six Sigma and business process improvement consulting experience to help you identify opportunities for quick wins and areas ripe for continuous improvement for the longer term.

Gap, Needs and Risk Assessing

The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System Gap Analysis is a tool that helps our clients compare actual performance with potential performance. At its core the questions we ask are: “Where have we been?” “Where are we now?” “Why are we here?” and “Where do we want to be?” If a company or organization does not make the best use of current resources, or forgoes investment in capital or technology, it may produce or perform below its potential. This concept is similar to the base case of being below the production possibilities frontier.

Our Needs Assessment is a systematic exploration of the way things are and the way they should be. These “things” are usually associated with organizational and/or individual performance.

During the analysis phase, we also conduct our initial Risk Assessment. This technique helps us identify and assess factors that may jeopardize the success of a project or achieving a goal. The Risk Assessment technique also helps to define preventive measures to reduce the probability of these factors from occurring.

Business Process Improvement and Optimization (BPIO)

The first step in Strategic Process Management is to understand a company’s core business processes and evaluate their effectiveness through a Needs and Gap Analysis. By assessing cost, quality and time metrics for each step of a business process, an analysis leads up to a Business Process Improvement and Optimization (BPIO) plan. This provides a high-level understanding of how your core processes create business value. When completed, a BPIO provides a roadmap for process improvement efforts that engage your entire team, from senior management to the back-office.

Innovation Consulting

The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System believes that process is as critical to innovation as it is to managing the day-to-day operations of a business.  While many assume innovation is purely a creative process, innovation can, and does, enable real and measurable business results when approached in a systematic and structured way.  Our Innovation Consulting offering helps companies identify not only how to maximize the impact of new products, but also how to develop them in the most efficient, cost-effective, and timely way.

Strategic Process Management 

The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System, we believe business process management is undergoing a revolutionary change, reflecting the changes that business itself is scrambling to make. Companies are hungry for an approach to process management in which quantifiable results can be seen in weeks, not months, and where disparate business units, operating across the globe, can be rapidly aligned around a central strategy.  In response, The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System has developed a next-stage model for process improvement. We call it Strategic Process Management (SPM) – a way to rapidly transform business performance using analysis, rigor, and individual empowerment.

Continuous improvement is all-the-more vital in these challenging economic times when most businesses are scrambling to find new ways to reduce costs and improve efficiency.  The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System, we help our clients step back and take a broader, system-wide look at how value flows through their system, often revealing huge areas to advance performance at every level.

Change Management

Effective Change Management is a key ingredient to a successful business or technology implementation. It enables people to assimilate changes more quickly and completely. It also connects the change to the culture of the organization, allowing the team to be more successful in the post-change environment or, in some cases; it helps to redefine the culture of a functional area.

The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System change management solutions require a proven, targeted approach. Our change management methodology is the roadmap to align change to the culture of an organization. This alignment helps your employees fully integrate the new processes into their work. This helps them experience less business disruption during the stages of change which include:

• Awareness – “Tell me what’s going on and who to contact with questions”
• Understanding – “How will this change affect my job, role, and responsibilities?”
• Acceptance – “How will I be trained, and what support do I have?”
• Commitment – “How did we ever do business without this?

Minter Consulting Organizational Development System Balanced Scorecard

• If you asked five executives to write down the top three goals of the organization, how many different goals would you get?
• Are there any initiatives within your organization that are not in direct support of the corporate goals?
• Are there corporate goals that are not being monitored via some set of metrics?
• Does your organization have a means to identify, now and in the future, potential problems as well as monitor and predict the validity of the corporate strategies?

• Clarify and communicate the corporate goals and objectives.
• Convert the strategy into action based initiatives.
• Insure that all portions of the organization are focused on these, and only these goals, and objectives.

Minter Consulting Organizational Development System

Our corporate society has realized that the way to become a world-class organization is to create superior performance processes. This ensures better quality products and services for customers.  That is why so many companies have turned to Six Sigma. However, Six Sigma practitioners have long struggled with showing people how to change their culture, as well as how to keep the process going after the consultants have left the building. That is where The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System comes in.

The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System is an extension of Six Sigma and Lean Transformation service principles, which starts and ends with people, not processes, so your business transformation is enhanced at every stage. In most companies, leaders want to do three things, increase production and revenue, while at the same time decrease cost and waste, and doing so with a customer first focus. These increases and decreases are like waves. Waves have highs and lows. Our goal is to control the value of the wave. But it takes the right people who are trained to amplify their skills for change to achieve this.

The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System uses a combination of change, culture problem solving and leadership training to drive our transformation process. Once your people are developed to amplify their skill sets, they will be prepared to drive and move with the ultimate change process. There are several methodologies that revolve around client engagements.

The Minter Consulting Organizational Development System is a universal tool that integrates organizational development methodologies and business transformation processes with one solitary purpose, to improve business performance. This simultaneous migration of people, process, change management and technology is designed to accomplish strategic and financial world-class goals.
