Our Services

WHAT WE DO

MAPS provide our Customers with
Multi-Disciplinary Teams with
the relevant qualifications,
and proven experience
and expertise.

Improve
Organisational Effectiveness

Effective organisations define this as the efficiency with which an association is able to meet its
objectives. This means an organisation that produces a desired effect or an organisation that is productive
with a minimum of waste. In addition, for an organisation to achieve and sustain success, it needs to
adapt to its dynamic environment.

At MAPS, our team works with our customer organisations to support individuals to do everything they
know how to do and to do it well. MAPS can help improve organisational efficiency by increasing the
capacity of an organisation to produce the desired results with a minimum expenditure of energy, time,
money, and human and material resource.

MAPS focus on five key areas when working with our customers: leadership, decision making and
structure, people, work processes and systems, and culture.

Optimise
Customer Journeys

Great customer experiences start with an in-depth understanding of the customer, their needs and
the journey they take with an organisation. At MAPS we work with organisations to build strong relationships with their customers and to optimise the customer experience with the organisation.

With customers, every interaction, be it call, visit, click or swipe, is an opportunity to build on the growing relationship.

To make the most of these opportunities, separate data sources, support teams and tools, as well as customer attitudes, attributes and behaviours, need to be connected and mapped across touchpoints and channels. At both the individual and aggregate level, this organised view provides an intuitive and holistic understanding of the customer and their journey.

 

Shifts in customer behaviour, key interaction patterns, agent performance, and process  bottlenecks all become evident from the perspective of the customer journey.

 

MAPS focus on breaking down the artificial barriers between channels and learning from the available
data in order to minimise customer efforts, remedy bottlenecks and reduce operational costs.

Create
Innovative Solutions

Our customers know their business intimately and at MAPS we are fluent in the latest process and technology.

This combination provides the perfect platform for innovation which is at the heart of our business.

 

We approach every project brief with fresh new entrepreneurial thinking, adding value through inventive and creative digital solutions. Detailed research, user-centric design, user testing and best practices lead to exceptional user experiences that deliver real result.

Sustain
Process Optimisations

Change and improvement initiatives are all well and good but how does an organisation make sure they can be sustained?
At MAPS we work closely with the customer team to make sure that positive changes are sustainable in the organisation. We do this by making sure the project can apply the following principles: The goals of the change are consistent with the organisation’s strategic aims The change improves efficiency and makes jobs easier. Benefits of the change are immediately obvious, supported by evidence, and believed by the stakeholders.

 

There is a system in place to identify evidence of progress and monitor progress, act on it, and communicate results. Staff have been involved from the beginning of the change and adequately trained to sustain a new
process. Staff feel empowered as part of the change process, and believe the improvement will be sustained. Organisational leaders take responsibility for efforts to sustain the change process, and staff generally share information with and seek advice from the senior leader.

 

The process can be adapted if and when other organisational changes are made, and there is a system for continually improving the process.
