The Bespoke Approach

For each new client mission, BAKIA combines expertise and methodologies in order to offer a tailor-made approach, that is tried and tested, to find a personalised solution that ultimately attributes to the successful transformation of the finance function.

Because each company and each project is different, BAKIA focuses on the uniqueness of each client to find a customised approach and unique key success factors.

There is not ONE BAKIA method, but a ‘toolbox’ of methodologies that when combined, offers a unique bespoke approach to achieve each mission The BAKIA Team are masters of a multitude of methods – from the most traditional to the most innovative (Design Thinking, workshops, AGILE method, process approach, mind mapping, ABC, change management, coaching techniques…). The Team knows how to combine and adapt them to meet the specific needs of each project. BAKIA’s expertise is fully tried and tested on the ground. By incorporating feedback in the choice and application of methods proposed by its experts, BAKIA integrates flexibility and adaptability within each mission.

Project management in agile, V-cycle or hybrid mode A hybrid method

The agile method has been the go-to-method for IT project management for several years. The success of an “agile mode” project requires adapting the method to the context and culture of the company.

The V-cycle remains an effective project management method that is successfully used beyond the IT sphere.

In order to best respond to all situations and to your needs, BAKIA has developed a hybrid method, combining agility and V-cycle. This hybrid combination allows us to better respond to the expectations of sponsors and to get users on board by quickly providing visibility, while relying on a proven project timeline.

Upstream of each project, BAKIA decides together with you on the right method to manage the project. Our consultants are all trained in project management methods (agile, V-cycle or hybrid) and certified as Professional Scrum.
