Back on the road this week, as we start analysis in a new country. This time we’re watching the heavy rain at the foot of the Swiss Alps whilst conducting now familiar process workshops.

Every country brings new ideas and challenges, our job this week is to capture the current or ‘as-is’ processes of the client, in order to identify where these processes should change to incorporate best practices we have amalgamated from other countries, and where this country’s ideas should be incorporated into an evolved central process.

This is set to carry on until the start of July, when we make a recommendation to the market whether they should adopt the standard, and what would need to happen in terms of deployment and training to make that happen.

With the Euro 2008 tournament about to start here, it’s proving quite challenging to keep our project well within budget as the hotel and flight prices rocket – so we will be conducting the write up of this week’s packed workshop schedule from London next week. Hopefully the weather will be better!
