Comprehensive Systems Approach
Understanding that the development and building process is a “system”, will yield opportunities for efficiencies. The system is more than just procedures. It includes many other system parts, such as the people side of project management, the regulatory framework, information technology, physical space, and performance measurement. Arimes Consulting’s unique approach examines opportunities to create a comprehensive performance improvement program that includes all aspects of the system.
Improving the development and building process, requires close examination of all components that influence the “system” as a whole. Actions to improve regulatory functions are difficult to achieve unless the overall philosophy is embedded in systems thinking. Systems thinking commands that it is the “infrastructure that drives behavior” of staff, customers, and the public. To have an effective and efficient process, underlying infrastructures must be evaluated and improved, where required. Our firm’s propriety system “building block” model organizes key system components and ensures that all aspects affecting development processing efficiency and predictability are considered.
