After the diagnostic

Smart Ascending+

A diagnostic tells you what to do. Smart Ascending+ is about where you're headed — month-by-month support that keeps the route clear, evaluating progress and driving improvements, so the roadmap doesn't end up filed away in a PDF.

What your leadership receives every month

Route report

An executive report that marks the route and milestones, separates what's done from what's pending, shows your indicators against the baseline and closes with what we recommend doing next month. We review it with you to decide the next stretch together.

Methodology

How the route moves, month by month

Every month we repeat the same four-step cycle. What changes is the stretch you're on and what we learned in the previous one.

01 · PLANNING

We choose what moves the needle

We review the roadmap with your leadership and pick the month's priorities, with owner and date.

OutputThe month's priorities
02 · EXECUTION

We do it with your team

We implement process adjustments and AI automations. For the ERP we define what to configure, why and with what guidelines; the vendor's certified partner carries it out.

OutputDocumented changes in operation
03 · EVALUATION

We measure against the route

We review what progressed against milestones and indicators, and spot risks and opportunities.

OutputThe month's route report
04 · IMPROVEMENT

We adjust the next stretch

With what we learned we move dates, priorities and scope, so the route stays clear.

OutputUpdated roadmap

Six principles of the method

A roadmap that stays alive

It's updated every month with what we learn, instead of being filed away in a PDF.

Baseline first

Before improving, we measure where you are today and sign it off in the Measurement Charter. Without a starting point, you can't show how far you've climbed.

One owner per milestone and per figure

Every milestone and every indicator has a responsible person on your side, with a name and a date.

One milestone and one indicator per stretch

Each stretch of the Ascent Route closes with a milestone and a figure that show you really are moving forward.

An honest traffic light

On track, Watch or Attention. What's going wrong is said in the monthly report, not at the results meeting.

Hours that reach the income statement

Freed hours are measured with Klimmer | AI Altimeter and each one has a destination and an owner.

Why Smart Ascending+

What changes when the route doesn't get filed away

The route stays alive

It's adjusted every month with what we learned, instead of becoming a PDF nobody opens again.

Risks caught in time

We see them in the monthly evaluation, before they turn into delays or spending.

Priority when things get urgent

If a new finding or an urgent change comes up, it moves to the front without you having to start from scratch.

Progress you can show

Milestones, indicators and hours freed in a format your leadership or your board understands in a few minutes.

A single consultant

You talk to the same person who did your diagnostic, with no intermediaries.

Neutral by design

We take no commission from any vendor or integrator: the only thing you pay is our fee.

It's for you if…

  • You've already done a diagnostic with KLIMMER and want the roadmap executed.
  • Your team doesn't have time to follow up on the route on its own.
  • You need to measure progress and report to your leadership or your board.

Not yet, if…

  • You don't have a diagnostic yet: start with the Klimmer | Compass or with the Express Diagnostic.
  • You're looking for a closed, single-delivery project: that's what the process, technology and AI packages are for.
Frequently asked questions

What people usually ask us

What do I need to get started?

To have completed a diagnostic with KLIMMER: that's where the roadmap, the baseline and the milestones come from. If you don't have one yet, start with the Klimmer | Compass, which is free and takes 5 minutes.

Does Smart Ascending+ implement or only advise?

Both. In the monthly cycle we implement process adjustments and AI automations with your team, and advise you on what comes next. We don't configure or implement the ERP: many vendors make their product warranty conditional on a certified partner doing it. For compliance, we give you what to do, why and with what guidelines, and we support the partner so it gets done right.

How much time do you dedicate each month?

Consulting hours are defined based on the size of your operation and your diagnostic's findings, and are set in writing from the start.

How much does it cost?

It's quoted based on the hours and scope that come out of your diagnostic. We discuss it in the first conversation, at no cost.

What happens if we don't make progress one month?

It's stated in the report: the traffic light moves to Watch or Attention, we look for the cause (an absent owner, missing data, a priority that changed) and adjust the next stretch.

Is the report on this page real?

No. It's an illustrative case with fictional figures, so you can see the format. None of its screens come from a client's information. Yours is built from your roadmap and your indicators.

What happens to the confidentiality of my company's information?

We sign a confidentiality agreement (NDA) with every client, and everything you share with us is confidential. We never publish a screenshot of a client's information, not even as an illustrative example: that's why the examples you see on this site are fictional cases.

In addition, at the start we ask you to sign an authorization document where you decide whether your logo can appear for marketing purposes or you prefer your company to remain confidential, and whether we may only use your industry and generalized data, without your name, to illustrate our work. Unless you authorize otherwise, your company is confidential: it's our default, to protect our clients.
