Business Process Management
Project Management in Potchefstroom

Business Process Optimisation / Change Management is the speciality of Nankie de Wit (Pty) Ltd, with the home office being in Potchefstroom, in the North West Province of South Africa.
It is our believe that companies can only successfully attain and retain their competitive advantage by formally (focused, dedicated approach) and regularly analysing the redesigning / optimisation of their business processes, and through a holistic change management programme that links the vision to the strategy, all the way to implementation, and successful benefit realisation.
Founded in 1998, the company has rapidly grown its skills base with the acquisition of highly professional business process optimisation consultants, with clients all over South Africa.

We practise Lean Six Sigma management practices and techniques, which are scientifically proven and tested. We require top management to set the scene by either setting out the future strategy, and/or updating it, and by aligning the architecture of the company, prior to embarking on any company optimisation initiatives involving the lower echelons of staff. Ensuring that a company's current enterprise architecture is fully aligned with its strategic objectives. Thereafter, use is made of the scientific methodology of Six Sigma and business analysis to sketch the AS-IS (the present situation) of the core process, and applicable other processes. Working alongside the various levels of management, using the scientific methodology of Lean Six Sigma, namely, DMAIC, as well as business analysis and business process mapping and modelling techniques, Primo would then identify and analyse opportunities for improvement, constructing a compelling business case for improvement, and establishing a baseline from which to measure improvements, in conjunction with management. Working with subject matter experts and management teams, processes are redesigned, and improvements are made to those areas where the biggest improvements are required, and which will impact on the strategic objectives of the company. Nankie's team, with its Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, business analysis, business process redesign, and change management skills, prides itself on the fact that, apart from the excellent skills that the team possesses, the team also has a wealth of experience in lean production and service delivery, business process optimisation, and change management. Nankie holds a B.Comm degree from the University of Stellenbosch, a diploma in Management from UNISA, a certificate in Business Process Mapping and Modeling (IIBA accredited), and a Certificate of Achievement in Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, from the University of Villanova, in the USA. In line with his belief 'to produce to the delight of the customer', he firstly handpicked consultants who have 'cut the ice' operationally, and who, thereafter, built up highly successful practices. Last, but not least, the relationship amongst associates rests on professional interdependence, which ensures cohesiveness. His financial and auditing background, together with his B-BBEE knowledge, stands him in good stead to assess companies' financial performance, to optimise it, and to enhance their B-BBEE status.
