Our approach to projects
We asses each project in a systematic and structured way in order to get required results without any surprise for both sides. Based on the project type, we are used to work with both standard waterfall as well as agile project approach. A natural part of our projects is usually the implementation of simple tools that help clients to integrate project outputs into the daily business of the company and sustain them in the long term horizon.
Typical project phases
- Project definition - we always devote the first meeting with the client to a proper understanding of the situation and atmosphere in the company. The aim of this meeting is to define the project scope.
- Proposal of procedure - based on the project definition, we will propose the procedure, individual steps, time course, necessary cooperation and project pricing
- Project approval - mutual project approval represents an imaginary starting line for us.
- Beginning of implementation - after approval of the project, we will begin to perform the individual steps of the proposed procedure.
- Ongoing review- during the project, we regularly check the current procedure with the client to know that we are still moving in the desired direction. We know that requirements can change during the course of the project and we are ready to respond flexibly.
- Presentation of results -presentation of project outputs to the client and the company management.
- Implementation/Communicaion of results - implementation of tools or process changes into the company operation and / or communication of project results or implemented changes to employees.
What outputs you can expect
During the projects we do not offer just consulting services, but above all we try to come up with an overall solution to the client's situation.
This usually involves developing specific tools that we create tailor-made to the client's requirements or using tools that we have already prepared for some areas.
We determine the need to use or develop these tools based on the project definition and it has become part of the offered solution from the beginning.

We have chosen a tandem of Vissto and Magnetic Ideas for our strategic projects of Job Architecture, Organizational Mobility, Payroll analyses and transformation to agile structure. Throughout these projects we appreciated especially the collaborative & professional cooperation with high added value, market insights and attractiveness of all outputs in terms of visual aspect & clarity.
We also appreciated the possibility to use several automating tools during these transformation projects which helped to involve all the managerial population, collect and analyze data from across the entire company.
As a follow-up to new Job Architecture, we purchased a license to HRESS, which in our opinion currently has no competition in the market, for the following reasons:
- clarity & comprehensibility of the methodology for all stakeholders
- possibility to bridge to other methodology, which we use globally
- efficiency & automation of related administration management
- valuable analyses, comparisons and clear visualizations
- possibility to involve managerial population in position evaluation process
- fast understanding & learning, know-how transfer to our HR
Juraj Vrabko
Head of People CEE
With Vissto, we have already carried out several successful projects in the field of modernization and standardization of HR architecture.
I especially appreciate the extent to which they combine the deep knowledge of HR environment with modern and straightforward data-driven approaches. Thanks to this, they have developed several unique tools, which now help us with the creation of job descriptions, the distribution of bonuses throughout the company or the salary analysis of individual teams.
In addition to their expertise, I also appreciate the high flexibility and commitment with which they solve all projects and at the same time a very pleasant way of communication. I can only recommend the cooperation with them.
Jana Štoková

We have chosen Vissto as a partner for the Strategic Human Resources Management project at ComAp Global.
Together, we have made a revision of Job Grades, introduced new principles for the organization hierarchy set up, established a job evaluation committee and approved the final job hierarchy (matrix) by the company's management.
Our cooperation has always been absolutely professional, providing high expertise, while adhering to all deadlines and agreed procedures in absolutely friendly and creative cooperation. The outputs from these projects are now used not only by HR, but also by the managerial population.
Furthermore we have analyzed our remuneration system, created a tool for a regular salary review process across the company in all our foreign branches and fine-tuned the tool for payroll costs planning.

Trade-off magazine production
Trade-off magazine emphasizes not only the quality of the content of its professional articles, but also the processing of accompanying infographics, which must clearly and accurately represent a large amount of often complex data.
In this respect, Vissto is a reliable and very flexible partner for us, whose outputs in the form of graphs meet the strictest criteria.
Martin Novotný
Shell service station operator
As part of the operation of gass stations, it is absolutely essential for us to constantly monitor and evaluate sales data. We therefore turned to the company Vissto, which we prepared for us summary matrices of graphs showing all the contexts clearly in one place.
This allowed us to literally reveal our sales results and start using them to the full. We are now able to react immediately, introduce new products and evaluate their success very easily. I am not corporate entrepreneur, but I can only recommend modern analysis and visual data processing by this company to everyone.
