The OPPORTUNITIES offered by HARRIS ASSOCIATES:

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES
Our know-how of Business Performance Improvement Strategies stems from our extensive study and wide experience of implementing these best practices. We understand the difficulties you may have in choosing the most appropriate course of action for your organization. Our initial assessments are designed to identify and tailor the improvement approach that best responds to the challenges you face today. *more info*

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
A Continuous Improvement Strategy provides the basic structure and training so that your people can perform better at what matters most. Improving the performance of your business processes will lead to reductions in waste - which equals increased capacity and profitability - and improved customer and employee satisfaction. *more info*

The tools that you need right now will depend upon whether or not your organization has already embarked upon a structured improvement strategy, and what successes you have already achieved. If you have not commenced a Continuous Improvement initiative then we will provide you with the basic diagnoses tools, the training in the concepts and techniques required and support your early implementation. *more info*

If you have already embarked upon an improvement strategy and seek to extend or regenerate it - we have a number of proven tools that will enhance and consolidate the effectiveness of the approach you are using. *more info*

If you already have Continuous Improvement in place and are ready for the more advanced techniques, we will build upon whatever improvement culture you have, filling the gaps and facilitating your management team to utilise the best practices available. *more info*

MENTORING and INTERIM MANAGEMENT
Having experienced years of executive management, we are well aware of the loneliness of the role of the Owner-manager, Managing Director or CEO. Our executive mentoring service is designed to provide experienced and objective support - particularly on the more difficult issues of management style and organizational culture development. *more info*

In some cases clients have decided that the need for improved management style required an early change in a member of the management team and we have provided interim management cover whilst the appropriate replacement was found. This has also been extended to our provision of a Non-executive Director where a client has sought closer involvement in and support to its drive for change and improvement. *more info*

SEASONAL LABOUR - the CONSORTIUM APPROACH
