One fact base for operating partners, management, and consultants.
Operating partners get a ranked list of improvements for each portfolio company. Management teams see which processes drive the KPIs they own. Consultants back their advice with evidence from the client's data.
All teams
A review team works through questions one after another. Snowstone works through all of them at once.
Interviews, data requests, and site visits cover parts of the company and take months. Snowstone finds the important information in all the data, so that interviews guide solutions, not discovery.
Snowstone understands why issues occur across every team, and spots the problems falling through the cracks.
Find the problems in every process.
Work that should be automated
Example1,400 trade confirmations a day were being faxed, printed, and retyped by hand due to an outdated standard operating procedure. Costs were estimated at $216,000 to $303,000 a year in staff time.
Duplicated work
ExampleAgainst the chief risk officer's instruction, two risk management teams each kept their own copy of the company's trading book.
Teams pulling against each other
ExampleUnclear internal definitions of customer segments led retail and wholesale salespeople to chase the same customers.
Bottlenecks and waiting
ExampleProcessing every new customer required waiting a full business day for a nightly credit list. Urgent deals were then pushed through on rushed emails.
Key-person risk
ExampleIf one analyst were to leave, nearly all regulatory reporting and settlements would stop, as she was the only employee responsible for them and had near-zero documentation.
Decisions made without the evidence
ExampleLeadership knew its employee ranking system was driving out critical staff who checked and settled trades. Each replacement was estimated to cost $200,000 to $250,000 a year, but no effort to implement a solution had occurred.
Fixes that stalled
ExampleA finished onboarding automation had waited seven months in the IT department's queue while staff logged over 3,000 customers by hand.
Margin leakage
ExampleInvoices were being checked against contract prices one deal at a time, by email. Staff time and mispricing were costing the client $250,000 to $800,000 a year.
