The DDM³ Methodology
The Five Elements Which Ensure Your Project’s Success
OBJECTIVITY
One of the essential success factors in any consultative process is the integrity of that process and this is exactly what DDM3 delivers through objective consulting throughout all stages of the design and delivery cycle. DDM3 always remains impartial to any agendas which are not aligned with the objectives stated and agreed to by nominated project sponsor.
TARGETED CONSULTATION
Effectively determining stakeholders is paramount in analysing, developing and rolling out solutions. This is done by sensitively determining perceived threats and opportunities in a meaningful and confidential way. Consultation is carried out using various techniques, including but not limited to on-site observation, structured assessments, interviews, research and immersion.
FUNCTIONAL PROCESSES AND REALISTIC GOALS
The best intentions are not enough to ensure the success of a project. DDM3 delivers solutions which are practical, relevant and functional. This means you are not left with mission statements, philosophies and principles, but real world, action steps which are commensurate with your resources and objectives. DDM3 provides the mechanics of a solution to help you achieve your desired outcomes.
MUTUALLY WORKABLE SOLUTIONS
DDM3 solutions take into account the interests of all stakeholders, including staff, management, customers and suppliers. This is achieved by identifying the opportunities which come from proposed change to enhance mutually rewarding relationships. DDM3 believes that all stakeholders need to be engaged in any change process and communicate is critical to the success of any assignment.
CONTROLLED COMMUNICATION
DDM3 adopts an accountable consulting approach. This is achieved by streamlining communication with an organisational ‘sponsor’, who is responsible for issuing instructions. Whether in proposal or reporting stage, communication is centralised to minimise the risk of misinformation. DDM3 also prepares and delivers a project plan for any assignment which defines the timing, cost, stages and resources required for the design, delivery or implementation of any solution.
