Our History
Our "Performance Engine" Model
Our clients should have an investor mindset about our work; they are investing in Results. That’s why our custom approach and methodologies aren’t cookie-cutter solutions. We work with our clients and iterate multiple times to find the right fit solution.
No matter what the end solution is, one element in our framework that remains constant is our Performance Engine model where all the gears are in synch and depend on each other for optimal performance.
Results
Results are obvious, tangible, identifiable and where the value is realized. However, is there ownership throughout the organization for them and are their targets meaningful?
Does the front line understand how their daily performance moves the “needle”? What is “eating their lunch”?
Processes
Processes are the value added activities from your value stream that deliver the Results.
However, is it clear if these processes are best practices and who in the organization is responsible and accountable for such processes?
Management Systems
Management Systems are the elements such as Key Performance Indicators, and interfaces such as meetings, set in place to manage the Processes. It is key to have clarity on the linkage and cadence of all these elements for a Management System to be effective.
Behaviors
Behaviors refer to the way the entire organization acts or conduct themselves to comply with established Systems and Processes to make them effective. They fully focus on PEOPLE and their transformation.
Are your leaders making the right interventions to drive Results and how are they developing others?
Learning
Typically Learning is more obscure and frequently lacks discipline to make it effective. It is how we close the cycle by learning from past results and adjusting the upcoming new cycle to improve.
Is your organization set up with the platforms to create learning environments and do leaders understand their role in sustaining learning?
Technology
Industry 4.0 calls for connected, digitized, and automated operations. It has been with us since 2011 but still significant gaps exist in manufacturing that are contributing to low maturity and operational losses. We support our clients developing transformation strategies and partnerships with tech vendors in our ecosystem. In our model, it is the oil that allows the engine gears to run smoother and more efficient.
Why Choose Us?
Right from initial scoping discussions with a potential client, there needs to be clarity on what the gauge needle to measure improvement will be. We work with your finance department to deep dive and understand what direct measurable result can be linked to the P&L and will be used to gauge program success.
On average, we are able to identify significant opportunities within 4 weeks and implement solutions and start realizing results within 6 months.
We are not trainers; we are certified performance coaches.
The heart of our approach is one of facilitating experiences where the client’s organization learns to use proven, practical tools and methodologies to improve performance and eventually thrive.
Our clients rarely see us at our desks. Once implementation starts, we spend most of our time facilitating group sessions or standing side by side coaching your people to change behaviors in the places where the work happens.
