What we do
As productivity experts, our independent business consultants know that time is everything. Whatever your sector, organisation or industry, we can apply our innovative use of work study methodologies to improve how you invest your time.
Quantify Efficiency Opportunities
Innovative use of work study measurement combined with on-site observations to identify and measure productivity opportunities
Identify Quick Wins
Analysis combined with deep sector experience means we can easily implement changes to deliver fast results
Bring Additional Context From Benchmarking
Comparison to a relevant benchmark not only allows you to see how you stack up against the competition, but also to set achievable targets for change
What our clients say
Project Manager, Costa
“ReThink tailored their approach to exactly match our business needs. Their work formed a vital part of our project to optimise labour across our Costa stores, and we valued how flexible they were as the project’s scope changed and developed.”
Lisa Perez, Screwfix
“The ReThink study has meant we have made the right decisions for planning across the board. Thanks to their insight, we have made savings, but protected the two most important areas of our business – our people and our customers.”
Operational Development Manager, Vodafone
“I don’t just see ReThink as a supplier; I see them as a business partner who takes the time to understand what we need and build on the original brief. They’re always on hand for help and advice.”
How can ReThink help?
By analysing your current processes and systems, our business consultants can provide a detailed roadmap of exactly where improvements could be made.
This can be to invest more in your business priorities in order to help your bottom line. Or it could be to keep you agile and able to respond to ever-changing customer expectations and operating model challenges.
Our clients gain insight into where they are really investing their time and effort, the level of waste and variance across the operation, and how they stack up against competitors.
