Just do it
Transformation and Change
How do you implement state-of-the-art processes and make lasting changes to your lab organisation?
If you have decided
- to automate and digitalise your lab,
- to invest in a laboratory information and management system (LIMS),
- to replace your paper-based processes with software,
- just to replace your existing LIMS or
- to improve performance in your lab organisation
then you have made a good decision.
These projects and tools make it easier to manage laboratory organisations, save time and money, improve data quality and information flows, and much more.
In addition to the benefits of introducing a new system into your existing environment, our experience has shown that there are a number of issues that need to be considered:
- Implementation costs (Interfaces, SaaS, on premise, …)
- Total cost of ownership
- Expectations for increased efficiency and return on investment (ROI)
- Required functionality (user requirement specification) and expansion options
- Implementation strategy, communication and change management
Making your automation, digitalisation and optimization projects successful
In our experience, at least three steps are essential for the successful implementation of automation and digitalisation projects in analytical laboratories:
Get independent external analysis and advice
- Professional support in reviewing and optimising current processes
- Definition of clear requirements and goals, as well as the scope of the project
- Comprehensive and detailed description of project and investment requirements
- Evaluation of potential solution providers
Select and implement the best digital solutions
- Selection of a suitable, economically viable tool that meets the described requirements
- Appropriate roll-out plan
- Monitoring the effective use of the new system
- Check for the improvements projected in the project scope
Involve all stakeholders needed for success
- Effective employee engagement, communication and change management
- Promote project buy-in early
- Training sessions
- Overcome potential resistance
- Ensure that all stakeholders use the new digital tools effectively.
Let’s talk about how to make your projects work better, perform better and add more value.
Our proven approach and our experience for your successful change
Baseline Assessment: In-depth analysis of the current situation in the laboratory and identification of the current processes, challenges and optimisation potential
- Systematic recording of current processes and structures
- Identification of inefficiencies and bottlenecks
- Data-based evaluation using key performance indicators
- Organisational analysis
Scoping: Our comprehensive scoping process defines clear, actionable goals tailored to the strategic needs of your laboratory, such as:
- Processes and interfaces
- Value creation and customer focus
- Automation and digitalisation
- Costs and performance
- Communication and leadership
Requirements management: We develop targeted strategies by comprehensively analyzing your analytical lab’s unique ecosystem covering:
- specific organizational requirements
- existing capabilities and infrastructure
- regulatory resp. compliance frameworks
- industry-specific challenges
Transformation Roadmap: We deliver a comprehensive blueprint for organizational evolution e.g.
