Department optimisation: With KIROI step 6 to the idea revolution

Departmental optimisation is becoming increasingly important in the modern corporate world. The targeted use of methods such as KIROI Step 6 in particular opens up new opportunities to promote creativity and innovation directly in the teams. This not only helps to make processes more efficient, but also to unleash a revolution of ideas in everyday working life.

Department optimisation: Creative impulses with KIROI Step 6

Departmental optimisation is successful when all employees are actively involved in the process. This is where KIROI Step 6 comes in, focussing on creative solutions that are jointly developed, evaluated and implemented. This results in practical concepts that are specifically tailored to the challenges of individual departments.

An example from IT shows how automation ideas were collected through KIROI Step 6. The result was AI-supported tools that reduce repetitive tasks and speed up support processes, saving time and resources. In marketing, the structured idea process helped to develop authentic and target group-specific campaigns. A logistics department benefited from a new type of supply chain management that simultaneously increased efficiency and flexibility.

BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) In a large production department, the team culture was transformed by KIROI Step 6. Digital tools enabled the continuous collection and prioritisation of ideas for process improvement. The result was a noticeable reduction in throughput times combined with greater transparency and more flexible working methods, which also increased employee satisfaction.

Practical examples and methods of departmental optimisation

In order to make departmental optimisation sustainable, it is advisable to combine proven methods with the impulses from KIROI Step 6, with continuous improvement processes playing a central role. In production, for example, the 5S method helps to create order and an overview. Sorting, systematisation and standardisation help to minimise errors and speed up processes.

In the area of customer service, we support structured feedback rounds in which employees share their experiences and contribute new ideas. These are systematically evaluated and trialled in pilot projects. In finance, data-based analyses can help to identify work processes that are particularly time-consuming. This can be remedied by automated workflows that intercept repetitive tasks and increase efficiency.

BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) Data-based tools were introduced in a sales department in order to better assess sales potential and prioritise customer communication. The result was an increase in closing rates and improved customer satisfaction thanks to more targeted offer management.

KIROI Step 6 as a companion for practical implementation

In addition to a certain degree of flexibility, the realisation of creative ideas also requires clear structures. KIROI Step 6 supports this by designating responsible persons and establishing regular progress reports. This ensures that good input does not go to waste, but makes a concrete contribution to departmental optimisation.

Open dialogue between employees and managers is also crucial in order to identify emerging challenges at an early stage. Agile methods such as design thinking help to make adjustments quickly. Accompanying coaching can provide impetus in this important phase, for example to deal with resistance and promote trust.

Practice has shown that pilot projects with clearly defined goals and measurable results help to make the success of the measures tangible. One logistics department used KIROI Step 6 to introduce dynamic route planning. The result was shorter transport routes and a sustainable reduction in delivery times.

Employees were able to contribute their needs, which reduced stress and improved job satisfaction. Automated holiday planning complemented the process improvements to create a coherent overall concept.

Tips for the successful integration of departmental optimisation

The following measures are recommended to ensure that departmental optimisation is successful in the long term:

• Early involvement of all employees in order to utilise different perspectives.
• Clear communication of goals and steps within the department.
• Provision of the necessary resources and support from management.
• Continuous reflection and adaptation of measures to maximise benefits.
• Use of flexible methods such as KIROI Step 6 to promote creativity.

This allows changes to be accompanied and the potential of each department to be fully utilised.

My analysis

Departmental optimisation is a key lever for increasing both innovative strength and efficiency. With its structured approach, KIROI Step 6 offers a very attractive opportunity to promote creative ideas from within the teams and implement them effectively. Companies not only benefit from new solutions, but also strengthen teamwork and employee motivation. Those who follow this path are provided with a sustainable basis for continuous further development and competitiveness.
