Do You
Feel Lost?
Managing an
organization without accurate staffing models is like sailing the ocean without
a map and compass, leaving you lost and unable to achieve your goals.
Reorganizations, re-engineering, changes to product features and volumes, new technologies, and the many other
operational changes that routinely occur require staffing models to help you
make these changes successful.
What are Staffing
Models?
Staffing models are related
sets of reports,
charts and graphs,
that are used to precisely understand how employee time is spent and at what
cost. These sets of related charts
and graphs provide both a broad and in-depth picture of work activity time and
cost, but most importantly... why they occur.
What are Staffing
Plans?
Staffing plans are similar
in format to staffing models. They predict how time will be needed when
differing scenarios are forecast such as changes to product volumes. Many companies use both terms interchangeably.
We deliver staffing
models and plans that:
þ Provide workload measurements for
every activity, process, product, and customer segment.
þ Show you the time each job position
spends on every activity... and why.
þ Tell you if you have the right balance of
generalists and specialists.
þ Predict your future
staffing needs by the hours of skills you will need.
þ Provide everything you need
to design high performing virtual organizations.
Our staffing models include
scenario
planning models so you can play "what if" and perfect your organization on paper
before you actually change anyone's job responsibilities. This is critically
important when creating shared services, adopting virtual organization designs,
and outsourcing or insourcing.
Staffing Model Exhibit
1
This is a typical Staffing
Model report for an insurance underwriting department. It provides activity hours,
costs and percent of FTE (full time equivalent).
Staffing models should always include cost because decisions should be
cost-based and savings forecasts should include cost.

Staffing Model Exhibit
2
This Staffing Model chart provides the number of hours that each job position spends
on each product in a bank's Loan & Letter of Credit Department. Note that
some activity times are small amounts. AIM captures every activity... nothing is
missed.

Staffing Model Exhibit 3
This exhibit is from a nationwide bank.
It tells them how much time is spent on all activities in each city and how each
city varies from the national average. It is one of over 60 reports in their
national Staffing Model that they use to understand and maintain the skills they
need to precisely meet each city's unique customer service skill requirements.
Their AIM Staffing models helped them improve customer service and retention
while cutting their training costs.

The
AIM-Activity Information Modeling Staffing Model Project
The Staffing
Models we deliver to our clients include extensive charts and graphs that show the amount of
time spent on
each activity, process, product, and customer. Other data is often collected such as
"re-work", the time spent re-doing activities because the first transaction
failed. We can include any data dimension you can imagine in your Staffing
Models.
Project Phases & Deliverables
A staffing Model Project
takes between 4 and 8 weeks.
-
Staffing Model Design:
We work with you to design the staffing models you want and need. This
usually requires three meetings.
-
Data Collection: Our
systems collect data from your staff. The data collection spans 3 to 5 weeks
based on the nature of the work. This builds your workload database.
-
Workload
Measurements & Staffing Model
Preparation: We prepare your final staffing models as
Microsoft Excel reports and files. Preparation usually requires 2 to 7 days.
-
Staffing Model Review:
We review each chart and graph with you to make sure you understand their
information and how to
best use them to improve your performance.
Staffing Plans, Scenario
Planning & Predictive Staffing Models
The last files you receive
are specially designed to help you analyze how changes to such things as
processes and product features will change your workloads. You
simply enter changes to product volume, process productivity rates, job design,
etc. and the worksheets
predict the staffing requirements for that scenario.
You can play the play the
best "what if" you have ever imagined..
Project Value, Savings
& ROI
Our client's always discover
new ways to reduce staffing costs. They almost always realign parts of their
organization for their strategic goals by changing the mix of specialists and
generalists assigned to their processes, products, and customer segments...
often improving productivity and quality. Additionally, the staffing plans allow them to
get "in-front" of their problems and solve them before they occur. They predict future staffing costs and
conduct scenario planning, playing "what if" on paper (data models) with various
scenarios until the optimal costs are achieved. Their new designs are then
implemented quickly and precisely. Our clients tell us they always recover a
multiple of the project cost within 3 months.
Our No-cost 5 Day
Evaluation Pilot
We offer
a No-cost Evaluation Pilot that allows you to evaluate our methodology,
technology, and deliverables. This pilot usually spans 5 days and delivers a set of
Staffing Models that are related to your processes, products and customers.
