Since saying “engineered, integrated business processes for medical device companies” is rather a mouthful, we invented a new term. The Latin word consili, means “design.” The Greek word isos, means “equal.” The new term stands for the concept of designing, integrating and standardizing business processes across business systems. Specifically, Consiliso means designing for unity of process and standards across the varied aspects of running a business.
Consiliso is the first standard for how to design your business processes and information so it all works together. The result? A world-class Quality System and massive productivity improvements company-wide. It works just as well for start-ups as it does in multi-national corporations.
Still not sure what it means? Think of it this way: you would never break ground on a new facility without a detailed set of blueprints. And you would not ask just anyone to draw up those prints–you’d find a talented architect who can make every system and corner of the building function well. Most companies operate in “silos” or somewhat-connected separate “houses” with the business running within those units according to the experience and knowledge of a specific function, such as Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory, Clinical…or Finance, Legal, Human Resources and Facilities. This means your company wastes time and energy finding information across your business areas and creating disparate processes (and buying different, expensive technology tools) to get the same kinds of work accomplished. Consiliso is the blueprint that tells you, according the to best practices in our industry, exactly how to build the way your company works. Before these books and website, the only way to get the best business process architect, the one person who has implemented these concepts in many different kinds of medical device manufacturers, was to hire Mark Rutkiewicz. Since he’s only one person, and as a former engineer has a certain tolerance for meticulous endeavors, Mark decided a few years ago to write it all down so that anyone, anywhere, can benefit. Too many novel therapies sit on the shelves or in design files because the company could not properly scale up, or once scaled lost it’s efficiency and ability to bring change to market. Consilis
