From strategy development to operational excellence

If I was asked to single out just one aspect that we’ve benefited from working with Strauss Consulting (and it’s not a simple choice), it would be the essence and principles of agile work in business and technology. As part of the extensive strategic work conducted by Strauss’ consultants at Menora Mivtachim, valuable assistance was provided in implementing the recommendations. Business-digital-technological steps for the future were outlined for us, and we made a quantum leap in digital and infrastructure development. This is all accomplished using agile tools and processes, which, in addition to the technology department, are now being introduced to other units and departments within the company.

During these challenging times our company is in the eye of the storm. Strauss Strategy is our strategic partner in meeting the challenges and achieving our vision. Strauss’ team walks with us, shoulder to shoulder, assisting us to advance the goals in business, digital & data, technology, and operations. Strauss consultants bring extensive experience from leading industry organizations to help SHAAM (Computerized Processing Services) and the Israel Tax Authority implement Best Practices.

The implementation of digital transformation has been one of our biggest challenges in recent years. Strauss was selected by the Bank to assist in the development of a roadmap and work plan for implementing digital transformation of the Campaigns & Insights Unit. As a result of the extensive work by Strauss’ team, we have developed the Unit’s vision, organizational structure, internal and external work structures, and established clear work routines. To impart the required skills to the Unit’s personnel, training programs were recommended. Strauss Strategy helped Bank Discount improve customer experience and communication by leveraging its sales and service processes more effectively and efficiently.

UPS Israel operates in an extremely competitive market that is currently experiencing a quantum leap as a result of changes in the international e-commerce market, in which UPS is a key player. From the level of meticulous planning and implementation of business/technology solutions, through the execution of processes and systems change, to the level of assistance in the realms of integrations and infrastructures, Strauss Strategy is our partner in strategic thinking and process management.

Having Strauss help us develop our digital strategy was a great decision. Ichilov has set a goal to improve the experience of treating staff that would result in better patient care and operational efficiency. Strauss’ team led an effective process that resulted in shaping our vision, objectives, and guidelines. We developed a roadmap for the digital transformation, defined the “building blocks” for the required digital solution, and mapped and consolidated customer journeys. An action plan was formulated based on the results. As a result of the transformation, we have achieved an exceptional level of maturity in our digital services, and this will continue to help us moving forward.
