Low-Risk Implementation


One of the biggest obstacles to making a breakthrough change are the initial commitments to something new. Even if it has been validated in numerous other companies, perhaps even in the same industry, we have all been burned before and are rightfully cautious about risk. There are three primary risks most of us consider in weighing an organizational change:

  • The financial risk—how much money do we have to invest to prove the solution

  • The time risk—how much of our organizational focus and resources do we have to commit

  • The change risk—how much of the good will of the organization do we have to extend to try it

The TOCC solution involves a combination of:

  1. Technology to manage logistical information and match supply with demand and,

  2. Logistical change management to support the organizational shift

Our implementation model is designed to greatly reduce each of the three risk areas, while simultaneously enabling the company to validate the solution by demonstrated financial returns before the next step is undertaken. After a top-management workshop evaluation, implementation begins with an audit of selected products, or distribution channels to enable the company to see how the solution will function and to quantify the opportunities before proceeding. A pilot implementation, again on a select number of products/ distribution outlets, proves the solution by demonstrating tangible financial results with a minimum of change and time risk. Only after results are realized and confidence built is the solution rolled out more broadly.

We require no investment in technology, just a monthly fee, so you can walk away from the solution at any time without losing a large investment. Upfront fees are kept small, with the bulk of our payments coming from performance bonuses, only after you realize financial gains. If you don’t win, neither do we. Please contact us for more information about how you can explore the potential of this approach in your company.
