Achieving outcomes through business improvement strategies

Co-Improvement – Helping Businesses to Improve

At Co-lmprovement, our focus is doing the analysis that will deliver outcomes for service businesses. We understand that every organisation is different, which is why we tailor our approach to maximise value and minimise costs.

We do this by:

  • Mapping your processes
  • Gathering data and information, allowing you to make informed decisions
  • Engaging with your people (key stakeholders, staff, customers, suppliers, and Council/Board members where appropriate), and bring them along on the improvement journey, making it easier to implement change
  • Ensuring solutions are practical
  • Showing you how you can do more with less, save money, and improving customer service and reducing risk

Working with Co-Improvement, the way forward will make so much sense that your stakeholders won’t just support it, they’ll push for the improvement to happen.

Providing you with clear directions and an implementation plan, we’ll support and guide you every step of the way, meaning you can focus on what you do best. Long after change strategies have been implemented, we’ll continue to monitor your success, because we care about the impact you make.

Testimonials

Stephanie

Rural Council

“Heather was wonderful to work with, so positive and supportive. I was going through a tricky time in my role as I had experienced quite a high turnover in my managers role and direction of my team felt wayward. Heather really helped me to identify areas for improvement in my team and to bring them on the journey so they would feel part of it and be accountable to the changes being made. Heather did just that and really helped me in understanding where my obstacles were and how I could overcome them. The aftercare support from Heather has been fantastic and so valuable. If you are seeking a professional who cares about people, then Heather is it. I look forward to working with her again in the future and would highly recommend Heather.”

“Thank you for today, you have such a wealth of knowledge particularly in ABEF and the Local Government environment”

Annette

“Thank you Heather. As expected, you delivered high quality analysis and thorough research on our improvement project. The consultation with our staff and the high-quality analysis and recommendations mean that we are highly likely to implement needed changes. Our CEO acknowledged that new ideas were required (not just our initial solutions).”
