Methodology

A five-phase method designed not to leave the company halfway

The PROMATEK methodology organizes work into phases with clear entry and exit. Each phase ends with something usable, not with a promise about the next one.

Sequence

Phases

  1. 01

    Assessment

    Understand the company as it is, not as it is described.

    • Interviews with management and with the people doing the work.
    • Review of the documentation and information that already exists.
    • Walkthrough of the processes that sustain revenue.

    Situation report with strengths, risks and agreed priorities.

  2. 02

    Design

    Define the minimum viable management system.

    • Objectives, decision criteria and owners.
    • Process map with owners and control points.
    • Selection of the few indicators that will actually be used.

    Approved design with scope, timeline and internal owners.

  3. 03

    Implementation

    Put the system to work in the real operation.

    • Useful process documentation, at the level it will be used.
    • On-the-job training, not classroom training.
    • Launch of the review meetings.

    Processes running with owners and an established review rhythm.

  4. 04

    Measurement

    Verify that the system produces reliable information.

    • Precise definition of each indicator and its source.
    • Dashboard built on data the company already generates.
    • Consistency check between what is measured and what is observed.

    Dashboard in use, with decisions actually taken from it.

  5. 05

    Improvement and autonomy

    Let the company sustain and improve the system without external dependence.

    • Improvement cycles on the problems that repeat most.
    • Automation or AI where the process is already stable.
    • Transfer of the method to internal owners.

    System sustained internally, with its own periodic review.

Principles

Rules we do not negotiate

  • We do not document a process nobody will read.
  • We do not implement an indicator whose data source does not exist.
  • We do not automate a process that still changes every week.
  • We do not replace management judgement with a model.
  • We do not hand over a system that only works while we are inside.

Engagement

Ways of working

Assessment and roadmap

A short, bounded engagement. It ends with a report and a prioritized plan the company can execute on its own.

Implementation project

Phased support across an agreed scope: processes, indicators, risk or digital transformation.

Management support

Periodic presence in the review cycle to sustain the method while the organization internalizes it.
