the hidden office, consultants for productivity improvement in organisations

	*Welcome to the hidden office,* your resource for transformational organisation and business improvement.** Our methods are designed to help release the full potential of your organisation and provide significant cost-value benefit over traditional consultancies.

	Organisations can easily waste a third of their energies pulling in too many directions with otherwise sound strategies diminished by fragmented or conflicting implementation. tHO will ensure your strategies and activities are working in harmony and fully focussed on maximising value for your business and your customers.

	Even successful organisations can struggle to achieve continuous performance improvement without introducing periodic and traumatic “here we go again“ business process change programs. tHO provides leadership coaching, practical quality management and problem solving training to embed continuous performance improvement within your organisation’s culture.

	Your biggest asset (or headache if you don’t have them) are staff who are self motivated, confident, numerate, articulate , problem solvers and organisationally “street wise”. tHO along with its Further Education partner offers a tailored package of training for your staff as well as help with your induction process.

	Our services are designed to work individually and collectively to tackle your areas of greatest financial opportunity . tHO has developed successful and practical management techniques and tools to prioritise these opportunities and efficiently make a significant difference to your bottom line - guaranteed!

	Businesses large and small, periodically need additional short term experienced management resources to fill critical organisation gaps or lead major projects. tHO’s contract management support offers you experienced, results driven, project managers to provide you with the additional management bandwidth your business needs.

	Government funding and free or subsidised advisory support may be available for your business in areas such as capital investment , training, R&D , manufacturing, strategy and market development. tHO will help you navigate the often confusing landscape of government aid and help prepare appropriate requests for support.

What would you do with 20% more budget?

Typically in medium and large organisations a third of energies are consumed by non productive or low added value activities which in the worst cases are even damaging relations with customers and stakeholders.

If you could re-channel this effort towards more productive activity, then it would be just as if you had discovered an extra fully staffed and equipped office in your midst - one that you were already paying for! ... your very own hidden office!

Explore our site to see how we can help you find and mobilise your “hidden office” of resource and produce exceptional added value for your business and your customers.

Profit - it IS about sweating the small stuff!

Vilfredo Pareto famously noted in 1906 that 80% of the property in Italy was owned by 20% of the people. Business leaders naturally focus on the critical few (~20%) items, customers etc, that contribute to 80% of their sales or costs. However this article shows how a wider view can find BIG opportunities hiding in the small stuff!
