Customers
The WHY Code has been adopted by some of the largest organizations in the world - in North America, South America, Europe and Asia.
Our customers include:
- Three of the top eleven US & European oil companies
- Six of the top ten global banks
- Major government agencies & departments in the USA and Europe
See below for a summary of how customers are deploying The WHY Code to get breakthrough results.
Codifying Knowledge
"We chose The WHY Code because of its methodology... the ability to go back through the process enabling us to complete the story. It poses the why question, which uniquely allows you to uncover the detail intrinsic in achieving any task... It also doesn't take a lot of experience to use The WHY Code to a proficient level." - a major government security agency.
Sharing Best Practice
"The WHY Code allowed us to spot a best practice that went unrecognized. This alone enables us to save millions of dollars that it would normally cost to shut down the tanks and clean them. You could double those costs if you took into account the 7 to 10 days that would be lost in production." - a major oil company.
Integrating Business & Information Strategies, & Capturing Users' System Requirements
"The business's response to the workshops has been fantastic... My business case is this: On one hand, I can hire 3 analysts for 6 months - too slow. On the other hand, consultants using The WHY Code can capture the knowledge in 3 months at a fraction of the cost." - a major global bank's IT organization.
Strategy Definition & Senior Management Workshops
A government agency was redesigning its entire business strategy using conventional workshops. These necessarily involved senior management but were proving frustratingly slow and inconclusive - until they used The WHY Code to structure their arguments and share understanding. After the first 15 minutes of using The WHY Code, one senior participant announced "We've got further in the past few minutes than in the last two months" - his colleagues agreed and The WHY Code was used to complete the strategy development program and to document the findings.
Alerting
A Product Line of Business in a major global bank had experienced damaging re-statements of earnings in previous Quarters, due to faulty reconciliations of General Ledger accounts. In a matter of weeks we designed and implemented an Alerting system to detect and prevent future recurrences.
Regulatory Compliance
We have provided software and services for some of the largest organizations in the world, enabling them to meet Compliance deadlines that had previously seemed very difficult to meet. For example, a major global bank was given 5 months by regulators - the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and the OCC - to demonstrate that all regulatory requirements were known, and that relevant Controls were in place and working effectively. The solution was successfully implemented in that time and the compliance deadlines were met.
