What type of business is Insight 1, Inc.?

We're a product and services company that help businesses perform better in a variety of areas including process systems, compliance systems and production environments.

Who needs to lead this effort? The CFO?

No, the only person who can lead the change to a process based company, is the CEO or President. Top down leadership must break down the functional barriers to achieve the full power of a process based company. 

Why is "process" such a hot new idea?

We've always known that consistency is the key to success. It has taken Insight 1 ten years to develop and refine our framework for improving business processes. Once all your processes are defined and connected, we help you develop highly effective and efficient procedures and work methods, which is the only way you will "maintain the gains."

Can our improvement be measured?

Yes, you will know what each process costs and whether it's getting better or worse. However, to achieve really high performance you must tie all your key measurements to your customers requirements not just your own functional objectives.

What makes Insight 1's service unique?

Probably for the first time, you will think of a process improvement effort as a Management System. We transfer a lot of skills to your managers and employees so we ensure they can maintain, manage and continuously improve the business without a lot of extra resources.

Can I get some documentation about your services.

So who can benefit from Insight 1's products and services?

Everyone. All companies have processes that can be improved and all companies need to optimize their management system to ensure consistency in the delivery of their products and services. The new Sarbanes-Oxley Act demands this of Public Companies and many Private Companies will be forced by their equity partners and shareholders to adopt the same standards. 

What led Insight 1 to develop these tools?

Over 10 years ago, Insight 1 determined that anything other than a totally integrated management system based on excellent, best practice processes, limits a company's ability to operate in a highly competitive environment and meet the escalating demands of their customers.

Why does this have to include the entire company?

The three elements of every company must participate fully. The Leadership System must provide goals, resources and demand change. The Operational System must develop efficient procedures and execute them effectively. The People System must have the right people, at the right place, at the right time. If this doesn't happen, functional silos will remain and impede the flow of work through the enterprise.

What business improvements should I expect?

Together, we will develop a High Performance Management System™ based on optimizing every process in your company. You will increase your net profit before tax. You will be able to grow your business with fewer resources. You will also have great visibility into the internal workings of every part of your business.

What industry or type of business have you defined as your target market?

Only those who genuinely want to improve their method of doing business. We're interested only in those companies with a real desire to improve their processes and financial performance. Bad companies don't undertake this kind of effort. We have done this with almost every kind of company from $10 million in sales to $1.3 billion

Who is your competition?

No one, really. We are unaware of anyone else with our total process improvement, quality management, financial performance and compliance focus. We are unique and it really works.

What do you charge?

Our clients pay a monthly retainer based on company complexity, number of remote locations and other factors. We are very reasonably priced for the impact we can make to your bottom line. There is no long term commitment, you can make us go away with 30 days notice. No one ever has!

Does Insight 1, Inc.'s implementation team have the knowledge and experience needed to assure that we achieve our goals?

Our expert process facilitators average nearly 30 years of broad industry experiences each. Most have run their own companies. They have the necessary experience and expertise developed in the field, to provide the detailed business and technical expertise needed to help you realize significant improvement in almost every area of your business.

How long does it take?

Average time is 9 to 13 months depending on the complexity of the company. Some take as few a 4 months and some have taken over 18 months. It depends on number of sites and the effort given by the company. Insight 1 is not the gating factor here.
