Opportunity search
Opportunity search
Opportunity search is a structured process over a 10 week period, to help organisations identify and agree real tangible ideas for improvement that will deliver financial benefits.
Our team will create a structured project that will engage all key stakeholders in the process of identifying improvement ideas and associated risks, timescales, pitfalls, capital investment and service changes.
We recommend a top down and bottom up approach by facilitating engagement sessions with staff, managers, finance managers. The Exec team and Unions will also be involved in the input of ideas, areas to challenge and financial savings schemes to be recommended for approval.
