Scaling your growing company's unique and labor-intensive data work
Your business offering is unique.
Your data needs are likewise unique.
You've developed custom methods to generate and manage your data.
If they've been in place for years, these methods are likely viewed as the only possible way to meet your data needs. (They're not.)
As your business grows, the data work may be painful and slow and difficult to teach to new team members. It may get so bad that it limits your growth!
Our Approach
Robust Flow Operations helps businesses find and fix the root causes of impediments, enabling your operation to scale as needed to keep up with demand.
We dive deep with your team into the specifics of your operation, learning your business and its unique needs.
We then use a Continuous Improvement approach, learned through MIT's Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) Program, to map your data processes and find opportunities for improvement.
Sometimes, the adoption of a new tool is recommended; other times, only process changes. AI has significantly broadened the set of tools available. For some challenges an AI approach is ideal, but in other situations, a simpler solution can actually a better choice.
Working with your team, we test new approaches and adjust them as needed.
Improving the match between process, tools, and the data needs
cures operational headaches and enables growth.
