Our Approach and Process
APPROACH
The Open Door Group's management philosophy is to focus on the foundational aspects of what makes businesses succeed versus change for change’s sake. Establishing a key set of principles by which all will abide is the first step. Then it becomes a matter of getting the organization to act in alignment with those principles. That happens by developing clear policies and clear procedures for company-wide operational processes that will ultimately drive improved and sustained efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
We'll help you develop organization, structure, measurable goals, and accountability in an open and communicating environment with an unrelenting focus on results and a positive experience for your customer.
Communications has tentacles that touch every single aspect of your business - with direct consequences on profitability. While improved communications forms the foundation of how The Open Door Group can help your business, we believe in providing practical tools for immediate implementation.
The Open Door philosophy incorporates education. We believe that when employees have more knowledge better decisions will be reached and better results will be achieved. If employees have the right processes and tools, are actively engaged in their work, and understand exactly how they fit into the success of the company, profits will increase. Therefore, we also offer training designed to improve employee efficiency and productivity.
