Case 1

OBJECTIVE


As their event promotion area was one of the most attractive products of CWL and there was the necessity to optimize the activities of that sector with the growth of opportunities, we were hired to apply our methodology in services in the implementation of improvements and optimizations in the existing work processes of that area, that needed to have their own structure in order to better deal with the incr3easing demands.

PROJECT

Initially we performed a study of the scenario in which the area was acting, with the mapping of its processes and activities and elaborated the project with suggestions and alternatives to the procedures then in effect. The second stage consisted in the preparation of the implementation with the involvement of the collaborators of the sector and re-adaptation of the area with the new design of furniture, recruitment and definitions, as well as the implementation of a system for events and implementation of procedures for relations with clients, suppliers and invoicing.
