The 'Inspiring Success: Good to Great' programme (part funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and delivered by S A Partners) was designed for small and medium sized enterprises within Wales' 'Objective 1' development areas.
The aim was to improve the competititiveness and survival rate of SMEs by implementing best practice process and leadership techniques to generate high impact business improvements. The programme helped to focus management teams on what their customers valued and how they could structure their processes to deliver this value and consequently safeguard and strengthen their order books.
The assisted SMEs exceeded the targeted increase in turnover during the programme and created more jobs than expected. Click here to read the full case study.

Should have gone to S A Partners - and they did! Specsavers asked for help to improve the workflow for their Corporate Tax team. We worked with the team to remove waste from the process - the results included an improvement in the number of files they could process each day from 10 to 16 and a reduction in lead time from 50 days to 16 days.
This case is a prime example of how Lean tools and techniques, pioneered in manufacturing, can also be used to great benefit in service or back office functions. Click here to read the full case study.
