The Zargarian Approach

Our simple approach to organizations’ most complex problems.

Your 4-D Client Experience

 

Stage One

Discover

We’ll spend time with you and your team in discovery consultations to align on our overall objectives, define your desired outcomes, and get into the details on the current state of your organization and workflows.

Stage Two

Define

Armed with a deeper understanding of your team and workflow needs, we’ll then map out our overall strategy, milestones and deliverables to move forward.

Stage Three

Design

The design stage of a project consists of a combination of working sessions, system/workflow builds, and readiness testing to craft your optimum solution.

Stage Four

Develop

We’ll close out the project with options to deliver custom-trainings and curated resources to support effective change management and overall organization transformation.

  • 1. Onboarding

    We believe in designing an Operating Model that supports you and your business growth and development. On our Clarity Call, we’ll discuss the solution(s) and timeline best suited to support your organizational goals.

    After you've reviewed the proposal, signed the agreement, and made your initial deposit, we'll lock in your start date and start the fun!

  • 2. Discover

    We'll work with your project champions for through Discovery to identify key processes and/or projects, explore how they can be optimized and simplified, and layer on automation where possible.

    Through our no-stress materials intake form, your teams will share any current documentation, screenshots or other resources that can support our team’s understanding of your organization’s current state.

  • 3. Define

    Knowledge is power and now that your team and ours are armed with a deeper understanding of your team and workflow needs, we then move into strategy. This includes a detailed project plan with deliverables, milestones and accountability built into our collaborative process.

  • 4. Design

    Following the Discovery process, the Zargarian Consulting team will work behind the scenes to ensure your workflows are built, forms beautifully designed, automations, customizations, and settings are executed, tested and ready.

    Our team will schedule Workflow Day sessions with your project champions for reaction, testing and feedback to get it to a handoff state.

  • 5. Develop

    Co-creating an optimum solution is great, but the real transformation in organizational change takes place when your people are empowered to use the new setup in the best way possible.

    In this stage we work with your organization to implement training, resources and support through a Learn - Do - Improve model.

    • Learn the best practices to adopt

    • Do the new processes with guidance and support

    • Improve the way you work in other areas with what you’ve learned
