Opportunities NOT just Findings

PPI does not "blow up" departments and produce findings reports. We efficiently engage the project team to produce optimal productivity opportunities to implement. This is done through an efficient and collaborative "Identify, Review, Vet and Evaluate" process used throughout the engagement.

We approach each engagement with the end goal at the forefront - identify productivity opportunities that you actually implement. Our Filtering Methodologies enable us to quickly identify critical, actionable productivity opportunities. Only the optimal improvements are selected by the client for implementation.

  • Merger and acquisition activity
    • This activity drives the need for redesigning processes, org structure, metrics, etc.
