Maturity models must be
understood in relation to the goals and organizational reality of your
particular business, not the other way around. QIA consultants help your
organization interpret the various aspects of its chosen maturity model and
home in to define precisely how that model must be implemented to suit your
business environment and achieve your organizational objectives.
To assure an effective
appraisal, members at all levels of your organization must contribute to
preparation. QIA consultants facilitate readiness by providing appropriate
model-orientation at all levels of your group, performing gap analyses in
anticipation of the appraisal, structuring and training your evidence-gathering
team and reviewing evidence and orienting activities.
QIA’s consultants help you survey the
terrain and build a smooth, navigable process improvement infrastructure. We
support your process improvement planning, orienting your organization’s
Process Group, helping you to develop a Goal-driven metrics Program and
supporting the creation of an organizational training program for members of
your team.
Our consultants have
unparalleled experience with global, high-maturity organizations. We help clear
the path to Levels 4 and 5 capabilities by helping all members of your group to
understand and carry out their roles in developing and maintaining
high-maturity processes.
Effective process
documentation is essential to the success of your process improvement program. QIA’s experts enable a powerful documentation effort,
performing gap analyses against the required processes from the model,
reviewing current process documentation, establish
methods and systems for analyzing and developing effective and efficient
processes and supporting the development of a measurement program.
Process area reviews enable
you to overcome barriers in preparation for or in response to a benchmark
appraisal. QIA consultants can perform a range of reviews, including PPQA, CM and EPG process reviews.
QIA’s workshops support one or more
aspects of our consulting services and are delivered in conjunction with
consulting days. Explore our workshops and discover how QIA’s
unique approach to consulting can multiply the returns on your investment in
