Who should complete the assessment?
The assessment should be completed by a knowledgeable member of the management team or the entire team. Progress can be saved and resumed later if you need time to gather information. There is a section on key financials, such as revenue and costs, which can be easily gathered from your income statement (P&L). You may want to seek support from your finance department manager.
How long will the assessment take?
Depending on your knowledge of your company and whether you need support from your finance manager to get information about financials and key performance indicators, it can take 30 minutes to 1 hour.
How can I be sure I understand the assessment questions correctly so that the results are not wrong?
Each assessment point comes with a description to ensure there are no misunderstandings.
How can a short assessment be representative of my company’s situation?
The assessment has been streamlined to provide a good snapshot of your company’s situation and improvement potential by focusing on key factors that drive improvement. This is a streamlined version of a 500+ point assessment. Comparison tests between the long and short versions show that results are almost identical. In the “Sustain Phase” of our methodology, you can assess each department in detail if needed.
Is my company’s data secure?
Yes. Efficientivity adheres to strict security standards. All data transmitted between your company and our website is encrypted, ensuring secure communication. Efficientivity is compliant with GDPR and other data protection and privacy regulations to guarantee the safety and confidentiality of your information. You can request the deletion of your data and your company’s data at any time by sending us a message here.
Will it work in my industry sector?
Yes. The improvement potential assessment takes into account benchmarks from 100+ sectors and country differences. The “Improve” and “Sustain” phases apply to all sectors and consider differences by department type.
Will my people be able to implement this methodology?
Yes, if all phases of the methodology are implemented correctly. Quick fixes without proper management behavior change will result in short-lived success.
How long will it take to apply the improve phase?
Typically, it takes around 1 year for substantial improvements. However, the duration depends on several factors, including the improvement potential level, the company’s strengths and weaknesses, the organization’s size and setup (single-location or multi-location), industry sector, management’s availability, and skill levels. The implementation guide takes these factors into account and will estimate the duration of your implementation phase.
What if I cannot find an answer to my questions during the implementation phase?
It’s possible to encounter unique situations. Feel free to contact us, and we will assist you.
The AIS methodology is great, but I feel I need external help due to our management team’s limited time or the complexity of our company. Can you provide help?
The AIS methodology is designed to be accessible independently, but we understand that some companies may require external support due to time constraints or operational complexity. We’re here to help. Contact us, and we will arrange assistance tailored to your needs. Efficientivity has a global network of consultants trained in the AIS methodology, as well as partnerships with management consulting firms to ensure expert guidance and support.
Do you provide onsite and offsite support?
Yes. Contact us with your requirements, and we will get back to you.
Why is it so affordable?
Efficientivity’s vision is to democratize access to top-tier management expertise, enabling companies of all sizes to improve efficiency and deliver superior products and services. Offering our AIS method at affordable prices allows us to target all types of companies.
Can I just use AI (artificial intelligence) instead of buying your services?
You certainly can. AI pulls information from various sources, often generic ones. However, the AIS methodology is a tested method designed based on the experience of hundreds of management consulting projects worldwide. It helps you focus on what works without wasting time on unnecessary things.
