The GSI team worked easily with all employees involved with the integration and they became a part of our culture and our corporate family over the course of their mandate. Furthermore, GSI provided me with an independent lens through which key issues and variables were discussed.

With the help of GSI we were able to implement a new BMS with new workflows over a 5 month time frame. I am quite convinced that without their help we would not have been able to achieve these results in such a short period of time.

CPI Diagnostic

Do you know all the strengths of your brokerage?

The CPI (Core Performance Indicators) Diagnostic is a comprehensive analysis of current operational structure. It identifies those CPI’s which are at the heart of your business – Human Resources, Strategic Planning, Business Continuity Preparedness, Sales and Production Performance, Workflow and Technology.

The CPI Diagnostic will identify and plot your offices’ unique indicators, allowing for an objective assessment of your current situation. From that starting point, you can set attainable objectives and build a strategic plan using those concrete indicators as your guide. The CPI Diagnostic will outline any potential obstacles that could block your path to success and offer next step solutions.

Benefits

  • Study of job descriptions versus what’s actually being done
  • Analysis of the work habits of your producers, CSR’s and support staff
  • Assessment of time management and scheduling

  • Evaluation of current reporting features as a management tool
  • Status of strategic plan and its ratification throughout the office

CPI Broker Dashboard and Summary – A sampler

The CPI Diagnostic begins with a two day in-house session that involves various members of your staff including Management, IT and Operations. Gradient Solutions will then compile and analyze the data, documentation and information collected, and create The CPI Diagnostic Summary.

It will be presented in a half-day onsite session with Management in the weeks that follow the study. The Summary will indicate those areas of concern, outline the risk factors should no action be taken, and incorporate a Next Steps Recommendation Report. The CPI Diagnostic Summary will guide your business in the right direction and give you the right information you need to reach your goals.

eFLO

Being paper-free means more than making fewer copies. It means freedom!

eFLO will build the platform to enable your firm to reduce its’ dependence on physical files and all the associated costs.

Gradient Solutions will work with your staff to establish protocols and plot the path of conventional processes to move them into a uniform, efficient and streamlined paper-free workflow environment.

When the physical files in your office are replaced with a document management strategy, a modern, flexible work environment is created.

  • An environment that facilitates business development.
  • An environment where your client files can be accessed even if your office cannot. Servicing your clients and ensuring business continuity are key factors in any Disaster Recovery Program.
  • An environment where space-filling file cabinets are replaced with productive employees advising clients and generating sales opportunities!
  • An environment that can transition bulky Commercial files to move seamlessly and virtually from one ‘desk’ to another at the click of a button.

A good environment to work in!
