PLUS 7 PROCESS
TAKING YOUR BUSINESS
TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Your relationship with CS3 will follow a proven evaluation and project methodology known as our Plus7 Process™. This seven-point model defines the ongoing relationship and phases undertaken with each client on all engagements. Successful project implementation that meets your key business needs is our top priority.
DISCOVERY
Your consultative sales process starts with a comprehensive discovery phase. This stage includes interviews with your key team members in order to detail critical issues and needs. The information is translated into your Summary of Findings Document with a Return on Investment statement that defines the savings your solution should yield.
DESIGN
Utilizing your Summary of Findings Document, your business consultant will develop a solution designed to address your key business issues. Taking a holistic approach, CS3 will evaluate the options and present the best recommendations to you. For the more complex project, we recommend creating a CS3 Blueprint. This will provide a detailed design document that defines existing business processes, identifies and quantifies a gap analysis, and proposes prioritized recommendations for your consideration.
PLANNING
Project planning and management is vital to any successful implementation. All engagements at CS3 include a closely-monitored plan based on your priorities and requirements to ensure your project remains on task, on time, and on budget. Your plan will function as your “reality check”, closely monitoring project risks such as resource availability, scope changes, data quality, integration testing, training and project pace in order to maximize opportunities while mitigating barriers to success.
EDUCATION
It is imperative that your team completely embrace any new solution as well as any new or improved business processes. CS3 utilizes multiple education methodologies, subject to the client's needs. Individual instruction, train-the-trainer, instructor-led, and on-demand recorded training are all recommended for your ongoing success.
VALIDATION
Your validation or “proof of concept” phase is required in order to validate that the objectives of the project will be met with the proposed solution. A working model will be prepared and utilized for confirming data quality and accuracy, process flows, documentation, integrations and customizations.
DEPLOY
You can expect your solution deployment to be a “non-event” by embracing the Plus7 Process™. Rest assured we will be readily available for assistance, support, and additional questions.
REFINE
Organizations are dynamic. They grow, contract, and need the flexibility to change strategic directions. Continual process improvement allows your company to adapt to each new reality. CS3 is here to assist your organization through each new challenge with regular assessments and health checks.
CS3 BLUEPRINT
MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE
Your CS3 Blueprint will provide detailed scoping for your large projects. This detailed analysis will accurately determine your needs and eliminate the risk of investing time and money on the wrong solution.
DISCOVERY
Through interviews with your leadership, we will help you to document and therefore better understand the strategic vision that your organization is striving to attain. Our documents will capture both planned and current progress toward your defined objectives. The result will be a road map of desired objectives that your team has identified and is ready to act upon.
DIAGNOSIS
During diagnosis, we will observe your organization at work. By observing your specific processes, we will be able to document any gaps, bottlenecks or ineffectiveness that may exist. The needs of your staff will be noted and compared to the objectives of management in order to ensure proper alignment.
DESIGN
Our professional staff will tailor a selection of specific solutions which most efficiently meet your precise needs. The solution may include new systems to enable process automation, realignment of personnel and skill sets, and/or creation of new or modification of existing processes. The resulting design will combine the best cost-to-benefit ratio with the least amount of risk toward achieving your objectives.
DELIVERY
CS3 will provide a written report detailing the findings from the research we have conducted. The report will detail:
- Your current vision and objectives.
- How effectively your current systems and processes are achieving your stated objectives.
- Recommendations for targeting the efforts of your organization toward achieving your vision.
This report will provide the information needed to guide your efforts toward implementing the changes necessary to realize your company's desired success.
DIVIDENDS
We will provide an estimation of the dollar value to implement each major recommendation as appropriate. The financial impact of solving key issues compared to the investment required to implement recommended solutions will demonstrate whether an acceptable return on investment is achievable. Measure twice and cut once! Eliminate the risk of investing time and money in the wrong solution.
CLARITY BEFORE ACTION. STRUCTURE BEFORE SCALE.
Advisory exists for critical decision windows, not daily support. It serves organizations navigating growth, restructuring, optimization, or stabilization. Engagement can be fractional and ongoing or focused on a defined initiative. It connects high-level strategy to real execution inside the broader CS3 ecosystem.
FRACTIONAL STRATEGIC ADVISORY FOR COMPANIES AT CRITICAL GROWTH POINTS.
Executive-level guidance for systems, financial structure, and human capital planning. Flexible engagement, real operational depth, measurable outcomes.
ADVISORY EXISTS FOR DECISION WINDOWS.
Advisory is not designed to manage day-to-day operations. It exists for moments that carry weight. This includes preparing for an ERP transformation, restructuring financial reporting, evaluating leadership alignment, or planning for expansion. These are the inflection points where decisions shape the next five years, not just the next quarter. At these moments, clarity matters more than activity. Advisory brings structured assessment, disciplined planning, and executive-level perspective before action is taken.
