Where We Act & What We Do
Where We Act
We act on Systems.
What is a System, in this case? Simply put, a system is a cohesive ensemble of components that exists to serve a purpose, where all components exist, act or behave synergistically. A complex whole.
Systems can be isolated anywhere in our world. The human body is a system, a personal computer is a system, a freight port is a system, a country’s government is a system, a production line is a system… an organization, or a business, is also a system.
The Complexity of Systems
One of the things that captivate us about Systems is that they offer many layers of complexity, which can be analyzed, understood and documented. At the highest level of observation or analysis, a system – let’s call it System 1 – offers one view, where one can identify a structure, its components, how they are organized, and the processes or behaviors they follow. If we zoom into this view of System 1, however, the picture changes completely: the structure, the components, the organization and the processes all might look very different. One could say it is a completely different system – and it is – but in fact it is just a sub-system of the larger one, System 1.
What We Do
We do Industrial & Systems Engineering.
Our expertise falls on systems thinking principles to design, optimize, integrate, improve, fix complex systems during their lifecycle.
Simplistically, we can look at a system as a sphere of different layers, as shown in the diagram opposite. A system is made of components typically forming a structure of sorts, more or less variable. The structure and its components follow a certain organization, in which processes govern action and change to allow the system to achieve its purpose.
Our field is concerned with the optimization of complex processes, systems, structures or organizations by developing, improving and implementing integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information and equipment.
We are Systems Engineers.
We Act on Systems... and they're everywhere.
How We Do It - What to Expect
A 6-Step Method
At Tato Tech we use our engineering mindset and frameworks to tackle any challenge of a systemic nature. We assist our clients with quality work in every step of our services, and follow a straightforward 6-step method to create solutions:
Listen – Observe – Understand – Analyze – Solve – Improve.
We start by listening to our client’s context and concerns to know where to direct our observations and internal investigation. As we gather data points we build our understanding of the issue at hand and can derive an analysis of the major aspects to focus on. The data analysis will direct us to design all the components of the proposed solution that will tackle the problem. As we implement the solution, we adjust and improve it according to the needs that appear, to drive the most value from it for our client.
Our Differentiator
Our method is based on data collection through observation and client interviews at any layer. We put a strong emphasis on the data collection and data analysis phase, and work to gather objective and direct accounts as much as possible. This allows us to formulate hypotheses in the early stages about the root of the problem, and to direct the effort in a productive direction. We understand that off-the-shelf solutions or past projects are often unable to properly address a client’s needs, given the specificity of every context. That’s why we are thorough in our pre-solution phase.
The depth of our understanding and analysis allows us in turn to serve our client best: we can then bring the right aspects from external research and our learnings from our past projects and market leaders benchmarks, to propose an excellent solution. The result is a truly tailored solution tackling all required aspects, that will create tangible value for our client in a variety of streams.
We are hands-on. Unlike many established Advisory firms, we are not satisfied until we see our client enjoy the benefits of our work in their organization. We will assist our client in the implementation phase to ensure appropriate execution of the Solution Program , and help them in making the necessary adjustments along the way to have it serve them best.
