In addition Blue Sky has adopted a different approach when undertaking Sustainable Business Improvement Consultancy. There are many factors to consider when undertaking a business improvement or change initiative and many executives or managers fail to consider or even see the hidden barriers of tradition, culture and structure. The model determines what technique or techniques will produce the results required and how to continually monitor progress based on changing attitudes as well as results and, if necessary, follow a new path. The difference from conventional thinking and management of improvement is that this model has been developed to expect, consider and deal with changes and flexibility of approach.

The model is a process, which facilitates sustainable improvement within an organisation. The outcome of a full, initial application of the model will be a strategic implementation plan, with a risk assessment rating of success (IMP) and an ongoing monitoring plan that is based on a combination of the real improvement needs of the organisation and the company’s culture, structure and responsiveness or openness to change.
