OuR PROCESS
Groundwork engagements are designed to be structured, practical, and low-friction. We focus on understanding how your business actually runs, removing friction, and putting systems in place that help you do more with the resources you already have.
understand the business
We start with a short discovery to understand how your business runs today, where work slows down, and what matters most so priorities are clear and improvement efforts are focused from the start.
Design the path forward
We recommend tools, automation, integrations, and process improvements, define what should be measured, and organize everything into a clear, prioritized roadmap that’s easy to act on and track.
Map The System
We create a simple visual of how work and information move today, identify friction and gaps, and define a realistic target state that shows how things can run more efficiently with less manual effort.
make it real
We help implement systems, set up tools, document processes, and train your team, then transition ownership cleanly or stay involved to help refine and improve results over time.
HOW WE THINK
We take a systems-first approach to improvement, looking at how people, processes, tools, and data work together rather than fixing isolated problems. Together, these approaches help us design systems that are easier to run, easier to measure, and easier to improve over time, while supporting automation, technology integration, and smarter use of limited resources.
LEAN
Lean methodologies help us improve flow across the business by removing unnecessary steps, reducing handoffs, and focusing effort where it creates the most value.
5S
5S is a way to create clarity by sorting what’s needed, organizing it so everything has a clear place, keeping systems clean and usable, standardizing how things are set up, and sustaining those improvements over time.
Six Sigma
Six Sigma is a framework that helps us understand why problems repeat by identifying root causes and using data to improve consistency and reliability.
KAIZEN
Kaizen supports continuous, incremental improvement, allowing teams to make steady progress without disruptive change.
