the Footprint™ methodology

Foot-print; ( \ ‘ fut -,print \ ); a marked effect or lasting impression; a designated area affected or covered by a device or phenomenon; something that identifies; the area in which a communication can be received; a mark left by a shod or unshod foot.

Blueprint's proprietary method Footprint™ has been developed to provide a robust platform to assure quality and consistency for both comprehensive people change programmes and discreet projects that deliver measureable benefits in any one of Footprint™ 47 component areas.

Behind each component are detailed process maps for every relevant activity that act as a starting point for process design on every engagement. These maps then lead into our unique value path assessment tool that defines delivery parameters and KPI’s. Once success is defined a detailed project plan is generated to define activities and responsibilities.

Our consultants and clients are supported by the Footprint™ toolkit, a comprehensive document library of Guidelines, Checklists and Document Templates that ensure that our clients are not paying us to ‘reinvent the wheel’. The library, a living, evolving knowledge base, comprises proven and tested approaches to every challenge and situation we, and our clients, may face.

The key to the Footprint™ method is the managed exit. All our engagements begin with the end in mind. True client ROI is only achieved when reliance on third party suppliers is significantly reduced, a guaranteed Footprint™ deliverable, and Blueprint exits to allow true client independence. Footprint™ assures a detailed knowledge transfer process and can be utilised to define an ongoing post implementation support relationship if required.

Footprint™ when integrated with InStep™, Blueprint’s own hiring and workflow management software, creates a powerful, adaptable and secure foundation for the delivery of truly significant operational and fiscal benefits that continue to endure and grow long after our exit.
