The project

Managing the change in organizational structure and operational flows

The client

ICM – Istituto Cesana Malanotti is a public assistance and charitable institution dedicated to ensuring the dignity and quality of life for individuals and families at every stage. They provide support through interventions, educational programs, social services, and healthcare services, guided by principles of equal opportunities, non-discrimination, and respect.

THE IDEA WITH IMPACT

The Institute recognized the necessity to overhaul its methods for managing workflows, information, and operational decisions in light of new, more ambitious performance objectives. Specific plans were initiated to enhance efficiency, competitiveness, financial health, and service quality. However, these plans had not been fully bought-into across the wider organisation.
We assisted the client in operationalising decisions made by the institute’s top bodies through tailored programs that incorporated best practices and identified existing or latent opportunities.

Our solution was custom-designed to align with the institute’s mission and unique characteristics. It provided an up-to-date and immediately implementable model that simultaneously innovated and streamlined the management process, enhancing and refining the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.

With our contribution, the institute created a programme to:

  • review the processes and the way of working, to develop a new culture of doing;
  • promote behaviours, management and leadership styles to develop a culture of being, consistent with its mission and tradition.

At the conclusion of the project, the institute achieved a new collaborative approach among its teams aimed at enhancing service parameters, quality, and patient satisfaction. There was also optimization in decision-making and operational workflows, resulting in modifications to organizational practices, processes, and activities. These improvements led to a widespread enhancement in the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) identified by the institute..

The outcome enabled a more concentrated focus on activities, saving valuable time and enhancing patients’ positive perception of service quality. There was broader adherence to industry best practices and improved capability to manage activities and development projects through the adoption of a formal Project Management methodology.

The outcome was truly outstanding. Poliedros Management Consulting not only demonstrated clear methodological rigor in executing their tasks but also showed a remarkable ability to understand and address the emotional aspects of those taking part in the programme. This blend of rigorous methodology and empathetic listening was undoubtedly a key factor in our success. I am proud to have had Poliedros Management Consulting as our partner.
