Avid Consulting: Diagnostic and Benchmarking Services
Avid Consulting understands that people who make and deliver content follow a core set of processes that are fairly standard across the industry, yet which differ according to the type and phase of production. Some processes are highly technology-dependent, others revolve around people, skills, and ideas. For example, documentaries and news both feature fact-based content but have very different production dynamics. Drama and documentaries may both depend on scripts, but there are significant differences in the way they are made.
Content Production and Delivery: Core Processes
We have applied years of production experience to develop a diagnostic that reflects how the Media and Entertainment industry works. Our diagnostic service can be applied across the different production groups, and used to identify practical opportunities for enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in your production workflow. More important, we can help you plan these improvements in accordance with the creative culture of your organization to ensure a successful rollout.
Our diagnostic service can be used to analyze a single production group, such as a drama series, or to analyze a workflow that spans multiple functions such as news, sports, promos, playout, and emerging delivery platforms. It can also be customized for all types of media organizations in all markets.
