Effective cross departmental communication

Business process improvement that supports growth.

The challenge

Highlight help businesses ensure they are getting the most out of their technology investments. The Highlight platform helps monitor apps, services and other resources and presents this in a meaningful, business friendly way.

The business has seen increasing growth as its solutions have become more relevant in an ever more complex world. With increased growth and ambitious targets came growing pains. The management team was faced with inefficiencies in cross departmental communications and processes.

Growing pains causing inefficiencies

Highlight turned to Liberty Spark, our process improvement and mapping software, for its ability to quickly understand how things are currently working, while keeping the team engaged.

“We needed to understand the current ways of working – to join up departments, provide a platform for measurement and capture process knowledge that was in people’s heads.”

The solution

“Liberty Spark helped to navigate us through the process of capturing and communicating the outputs. We also really liked the flexibility of the tool – we can automate certain workflows with triggers, reminders and progress tracking. We can catch product innovation ideas and prioritise them quicker, which avoids unnecessary time and effort investigating features that we may not end up developing.”
