| The VEMAX approach provides for an
evolution from existing practices and methods to new optimized
business processes and systems. Implementation is bases on
assessing the changes required and designing those changes with the
staff that will be using the new business processes in the client's
organization. The VEMAX implementation method focuses on
coaching, teaching, and mentoring clients in infrastructure
management methods and then encouraging internal champions for improvement
to become part of the development team that designs the new
processes. This ensures that any changes is accomplished with
the support of staff and has the "know how" of the
organization built into the new process in a positive way.
Implementation of new processes and systems by VEMAX utilizes:
- workplace task groups to develop specific standards and
procedures;
- organization steering groups that ensure the new processes fit
the overall mandate of the organization;
- full synergy between the knowledge and skills of VEMAX and the
client's organization;
- creation of the necessary knowledge and skills within the
clients organization to ensure sustainable change management,
constant performance monitoring and improvement of the new
processes.
