Business Process Re-Engineering (BPR)

ACGL staff have documented their approach to business process re-engineering as a methodology for productivity improvement. This methodology has been adopted as a standard by a major Public Utility for their multi year, multi million dollar systems redevelopment initiative.

ACGL staff have the experience and ability to conduct operational visioning sessions, process reviews, and redesign processes at the department or overall operational level. Our re-engineering approach deals with strategic, organizational, technology and operational issues. We enable companies to rethink their functions to those more in keeping with the issues that are important now and for the future. Most importantly, a successful re-engineering effort will impart a structure and discipline that is conducive to ongoing team building and continuous improvement. This makes productive change a natural part of organizational life.

Health and Social Services

We provide a comprehensive range of consulting services related to health and social services. Our consultants have highly specialized skills. They provide such services as directional and strategic planning, organization restructuring, operational reviews, utilization management, funding studies and regional planning studies.

As seasoned professionals, they have developed a broad overview of the problems and issues facing the health and social services industry.

Seminars for Management

Generally, these issues fall into two basic categories. First, many managers wish to be kept abreast of new developments in their industry and functional specialty. They want to be aware of the emerging trends and the best practices in their areas of responsibility. Then, when the time for change arrives, managers want the change process to be implemented successfully - with and by their staff. Here we have noted that both theory and practical matters of change management need to be addressed if organizations are to succeed.

ACGL offers four types of seminars to address their management needs:

• Emerging trends, in which leading academic and consulting authorities bring the latest and the emerging management thought to the seminar participant.
• Best practices, which focus on the most effective methods and organizational arrangements for dealing with the demands of today's environment.
• Skills honing sessions, in which both basic and emerging skill sets are practiced and perfected for use in today's management environment.
• Work out sessions, in which participants from a single organization tackle the issues specific to that organization.
