What PRISM Consultancy International does...

1. Always respond to your aspirations
   Our role is to help you to do what you need to do to achieve your own approach to transformation and vision of the future.
   
   Examples of this include:
   • Education and training is provided on a "Just-in-Time" basis so that people are able to use their new competencies immediately.
   • We adapt our training, consultancy and materials to fit with your preferred approach.
   • Where possible we use your illustrations, examples and data in the training seminars we run for you.


2. Specialised and focussed
   In PRISM Consultancy International we are focussed on the knowledge, methods, skills and leadership required to make a success of Continual Improvement within your own initiative, be it EFQM, 6-Sigma, Balanced Business Scorecard, Best Value or any other Business Improvement programme.
   
   Our key knowledge areas include:
   • An integrated and practical approach to Continual and Breakthrough Improvement and Re-Engineering.
   • Better data used in a better way.
   • Process improvement projects.
   • Effective teamwork.
   • Leadership required for the transformation.


3. Dazzling, fun and practically oriented training
   Our training is characterised by being vivid, memorable and practical.
   
   
   • Most people learn best by doing something.
   • Looking back at what has happened and relating theory to practice is a very powerful way of driving in knowledge.
   • It engages the participants themselves in their own learning.
   • It gives the participants a chance to understand how the methods can be translated into the workplace and raise their own work-related issues.


4. Education conducted through the use of demonstrations, simulation and audience involvement
   We use a number of devices to develop knowledge in the minds of our audiences including:
   
   
   • The Experiment of the Red Beads.
   • The Funnel Experiment.
   • The Prediction game.
   • The Red-Blue game.
   • The Executive Lean Improvement Experience – a simulation demonstrating the Lean methodology – conducted during a one or half day introduction seminar.


5. Application of the methods to your own processes
   This is done either by one of our consultants showing you how to apply the Lean methods or – and this is our preference – by training and facilitating your own internal experts to conduct such a project.
   
   


6. Building your own capability – Skills Transfer
   It has always been a core PRISM principle to “help the clients to help themselves”. Because of this we encourage you to develop your own experts facilitated by PRISM. We have a number of mechanisms for achieving this and we develop a programme jointly with you which may include the following:
   
   
   • The PRISM Coach development programme.
   • PRISM Improvement Experience course licensing programme.
   • Train-the-Trainer.
   • Accreditation.
   • Practitioner user groups.


7. Leadership support
   Transformation requires leadership from within not from without. We are able to help your most senior executives to become leaders of the Transformation in Lean Systems Thinking. Mechanisms we use include:
   
   
   • The Executive Lean Improvement Experience – a simulation demonstrating the Lean methodology – conducted during a one or half day introduction seminar.
   • Development of a Vision of the Transformation – in compelling and practical terms.
   • Using the Hierarchical Process Model for the deployment of improvement activities.
   • Programme and project steering.
   • Senior mentoring programme.
