Health Transformation: A complete redesign of business model, adoption of new technology and new processes.
Our client is a distinguished provider under the Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), providing essential services to people with disabilities. As one of the prominent service providers, our client is among the notable entities contributing meaningfully and significantly to the NDIS landscape, both in terms of impact and people supported.
Facing an evolving landscape influenced by dynamic changes, increased competition and unique customer requirements, our client’s commitment to delivering high-quality services prompted the need for innovation. The executive, operational, and technological functions of our client sought effective methods to ensure consistent service delivery, streamline processes, and enhance efficiency in catering to the unique needs of people supported under the NDIS. Reliability and scale are critically important in the support sector for people with disabilities and our client encountered challenges with their processes, technology, and operating model. This limitation resulted in frustration among key stakeholders as the organisation grappled with stagnant growth and unmet outcomes for people supported including NDIS participants. Our client recognised a transformative approach was necessary to combat the risks of compromised quality of service and enable better ways of working.
As part of their commitment to the objectives of the NDIS, our client aimed to enrich their practices, moving away from ineffective traditional methods. This strategic shift involved embracing a fresh mindset and practical approaches to position the NDIS framework as a catalyst for improved support services. This encompassed adopting new work practices, new technology and a new operating model to better serve people with disabilities and stakeholders such as support coordinators and care managers, ensuring a more responsive and human centric approach.
Embarking on a journey of profound transformation, our client faces the imperative need for a comprehensive overhaul of its existing business model. The current structure, characterised by traditional business domains and centralised support functions like Human Resources (HR) and Information Technology (IT), has proven to be a hurdle in embracing new, more responsive ways of operating within the evolving landscape of support services for people with disabilities.
This critical transformation comes against a backdrop of previous attempts that, despite earnest efforts, failed to embed lasting changes into the core fabric of the organisation’s processes. The urgency for change is further intensified by the entrance of dynamic new players in the market, armed with innovative business models designed to provide a seamless digital experience for customers, users, and employees. Heightened market competition places our client under increased public and shareholder scrutiny, necessitating a proactive response to meet the evolving demands of the sector.
To navigate these challenges successfully, our client recognised the need for a holistic reimagining of its business model. This entails not only addressing structural and operational inefficiencies but also embracing a forward-looking approach that leverages technology and responsiveness to enhance the overall experience for people supported. The transformation journey seeks to redefine the organisation’s role within the NDIS framework, fostering agility, innovation, and a customer centric focus to meet the diverse needs of people with disabilities.
In response to the imperative need for a profound business model transformation, Alchemy worked with the executive to envision a comprehensive and strategic solution to redefine its operational landscape.
