About Tallowillow

Vision

Companies committed to satisfying working environments,
in which people achieve personal and corporate goals together.

What do we do?

We specialise in DIAGNOSIS of SYSTEMS to identify what is needed for balanced and sustainable improvement, and to support cultural and organisational development initiatives.

Sustainable Improvement involves:

Diagnosis - to understand WHAT is happening and WHY
Prescription - a strategy for durable, yet flexible, continuing growth, and
Commitment - to 'constructive, innovative interaction'.

because people and companies are different, and there is no "instant pudding" recipe for achieving sustainable growth.

In Short:
Transforming business processes from Fragmented to "Plug and Play", and
Personal relationships from Defensive to Constructive

Preliminary.

If you're serious about improvement, or just need to do some internal clarification, call us. Our first consultation is free.

If you are interested, we will offer a short term, fixed price pilot diagnosis and demonstration. This will involve some key people completing a short survey, analysis of the results, and explaining them to you. If you wish, we will assist you to prepare a plan on the basis of what has already been done, as the first step to overall improvement in performance.

If you wish to enagage the process on a wider basis, You can authorise the plan, or part of it. If not, then at least we'll be better acquainted so that we may assist you some other time.

Stage One.

Diagnosis includes working with the people in the company to build a clear view of how the business is working now. We use a simple but very effective method to compile:

Functional Analysis,
Output Cost/Time Analysis,
Structural & Dynamic Constraints,
Function & Skill Matching Assessment, and
Impact of Culture.

At the end of Stage One, you will not only have a new perception of how your business operates, how well is is doing, and a sound basis for improvement decisions, but more importantly, a tool that you can use for continuing improvement and growth.

Stage Two.

We work together to balance the whole system for optimal performance and maximum satisfaction by:

Linking people and workgroups to corporate functional outputs,
Aligning necessary & sufficient resources,
Coaching managers and team leaders,

Improving interpersonal communication, relationships and corporate culture,
Establishing planning & evaluation techniques and peformance indicators,
Implementing "systemic dialogue" within information, communication & feedback systems,

Designing job procedures & standards,
Reviewing pay & conditions,
Assisting with measuring and auditing performance from time to time.

At the end of Stage Two, your strategic vision is an operational reality.

At each step, you are in control.

Realignment is implemented by your team under the guidance of Tallowillow consultants. This keeps costs down and encourages ownership during the transformation.
