Process
This structured development process, which spans several cycles lasting 12 to 14 months, unfolds as follows:
STEP 1
An initial audit determines the company’s maturity level according to the 16 business processes of the MACH Excellence Framework, gap assessment, and proposed action plans to address them.
STEP 2
A personalized development and improvement program is then implemented to enhance the company’s performance.
STEP 3
Once projects are completed, the next cycle can begin with a new audit that will demonstrate the company’s evolution in terms of maturity and on the MACH performance label scale.
