Increasing efficiency* is a key concern for many companies that want to optimise and sustainably improve their processes. Step 6 in transruption coaching with KIROI plays a decisive role here because it has the liberating power to raise your department to a new level of performance. This step supports managers and employees in breaking down deadlocked structures and creating flexible processes that make everyday work more productive. In the following, we explain in practical terms how this important process impulse can be applied and utilised in various sectors.
Increase efficiency by unleashing your department
The sixth step in increasing efficiency focuses specifically on the individual needs of departmental structures. In SMEs, for example, production managers report that co-operation between production, quality control and logistics has been noticeably improved thanks to newly created communication channels. As a result, bottlenecks can be recognised and eliminated more quickly. At the same time, sales managers from the service sector state that better coordinated team processes not only process customer enquiries faster, but also more accurately.
Another impetus comes from the IT sector, where flexible working models have been introduced that give employees more personal responsibility and therefore more motivation. This leads to faster realisation of projects and reduces internal delays.
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) As part of the transruptions coaching programme, a significant productivity boost was achieved in a medium-sized production company through the introduction of transparent process models and the consistent empowerment of team leaders. The department was „unleashed“ in such a way that hidden resources were activated and time-consuming coordination processes were significantly reduced. The result was a measurable increase in efficiency of around 15 per cent within six months.
Practical examples from various industries
1. in mechanical engineering, the modified control of work processes through step-by-step adjustments enables less downtime and reduced production errors - also through better communication between development and production.
2. in financial services, teams report faster decision-making processes because interfaces between specialist departments and compliance have been redefined thanks to structured workshops.
3. in retail, step 6 supported the introduction of flexible shift schedules and ordering processes, resulting in higher customer satisfaction and reduced overstocks.
How step 6 supports a sustainable increase in efficiency
Increased efficiency is not achieved through technical measures alone, but through changes in the interaction between the people in a department. Step 6 helps to unleash the potential that is freed up through targeted communication, acceptance of responsibility and an innovative spirit. Practical examples show this:
- A manufacturer of digital products combined classic lean methods with agile work processes, enabling projects to be completed faster and budgets to be met.
- In the healthcare sector, ward managers benefit from clearly defined process standards that structure day-to-day care and make it easier to utilise resources.
- In logistics, the greater involvement of employees in decision-making processes led to more initiative and fewer errors in order picking.
These examples show that it is not about rigidly optimising processes, but about harmonising people and systems so that productivity and job satisfaction grow together.
Practical recommendations for implementation
To accompany the transruption coaching, the following tips in step 6 can help you to actively shape the change:
- Encourage regular feedback loops to reflect on processes together and openly identify areas for improvement.
- Encourage your managers to hand over more responsibility to team members and reward initiative.
- Use digital tools to increase transparency about tasks, responsibilities and progress.
Such impulses are appreciated by many companies because they help to increase efficiency by changing the culture of communication and collaboration.
My analysis
Efficiency increases are particularly successful when people and structures are included alongside technical optimisations. Step 6 at KIROI unleashes the department by providing impetus for more self-organisation, clarity and improved collaboration. Companies from different sectors report that it is precisely this combination that helps them to make sustainable progress. It turns out that real progress is usually made where change processes are not only planned but also lived.
