01
Information coming in

This scenario is an idea to evaluate during the process review. The choice of simple rules, integrations, custom software and AI depends on the process, data and intended outcome. The first test measures time, errors and review effort.
Then we test one concrete improvement
We choose one process, team or group of sites. We define what should change, implement the improvement and compare work before and after, including exceptions and effort required to use it.
One service family, collecting the needed details and confirming with the salon.
What stays with your team
I start with your existing tools and review exceptions with you. Decisions and messages that require approval stay with your team.
What the process review can lead to
A connection between systems, an internal tool built from scratch or an improvement to an existing workflow. Dashboards, calendars, chatbots and websites are options selected around the process.

Discuss this workflowFrom an idea to a working improvement
I am Hugo. Once we identify an improvement worth making, I observe the process with your team and implement the solution. This can simplify a procedure, connect existing systems or build a tool from scratch.
01
Observe the work
On site or in a working session, I follow a real process: who does what, which information they receive and where time is lost. We collect examples and a starting measurement.
02
Design the improvement
We identify unnecessary steps and broken handoffs. We choose one improvement with defined scope, owners and measures, making use of tools that already fit.
03
Build and support
I configure an integration, automate a handoff or build a custom tool. We test with your team, adjust exceptions and track the result in everyday work.
