At Lateral Solutions we don't believe in adopting new technology and imposing it upon unsuspecting clients, simply because it’s available.

Only if there is a real business case for demonstrable Return on Investment do we recommend action.

When Lateral Solutions is commissioned to bring about positive and profitable change, we plan new ways of working using as much of your existing infrastructure and systems as possible.

Following a full analysis of your existing financial and administrative processes we may recommend that, rather than simply adding another layer of process or technology to your existing set-up, you should invest in the design of a fundamentally new structure.

A complete Change Management recommendation is always made in consultation with the client, and work only proceeds after costs and timelines have been discussed and agreed.

Business Activity Modelling

Lateral Solutions has extensive experience of using Business Activity Modelling and other industry techniques and tools, to completely understand and rationalise your organisation.

Using Business Activity Modelling to guide decision-making we work in partnership with you to determine the best way forward. We investigate whether transformation, or Re-engineering, of the entire structure of your organisation is not only financially expedient, but practical and realistic too.

Although Re-engineering takes more time and requires an in-depth intelligent understanding of all your processes, protocols and team dynamics, once implemented the resultant savings in time, money and energy are extraordinary.

The Blueprint

Whatever the pathway for change, we work with your team responsible with implementation to ensure that new processes and procedures are properly embedded within your workplace.

Then, in order to describe the new vision on an ongoing basis, we produce a Policies and Procedures Document, which we call the Blueprint.

The Blueprint is shared by everyone involved in the task of re-engineering including staff, managers, business partners and suppliers.

It informs the team of their roles and how the new processes will work. During the period of transformation the Blueprint works as a checklist and benchmark for standards to be achieved.

At the completion of the project, the Blueprint remains with your organisation as an operational manual. This enables any future development work to have a clear set of procedural guidelines.

The Costs

Lateral Solutions addresses the concerns that many have with the cost effectiveness of management consultants.

Typically, we assign a single business analyst to each project. This provides for continuity of approach and creates clear lines of communication. Our aim is to complete a project in a professional and timely manner, whilst keeping costs as low as possible.

Wherever possible we work within a fixed fee structure agreed at the outset.
