Process Optimisation is designed specifically to do this!
It builds upon the stability and reliability that has been achieved, to deliver a further 10% to 25% improvement in the performance of critical KPIs.
Through a pure training, coaching and facilitation approach, results of this scale are delivered by your people in 3-6 months, without capital expenditure.
Typical financial impact is £1m to £5m p.a. in the first 12 to 18 months.
You have to improve before you can optimise. We have extensive experience of process improvement. However, increasingly we specialise in Process Optimisation as this is where we find we can add the greatest value.
The majority of our clients are global market leaders who have already dramatically improved their operations and were looking for a way to achieve the next 10% to 25% – and the next £ multi-million profitability improvement.
We have invested in developing the best-in-class training, coaching and facilitation programme to enable your people to rapidly develop the capability to deliver results of this scale independently, on top of existing gains.
As a result, the return on investment (ROI) of our transformation programmes is typically 5 to 20 times within the first year.
“This is a no brainer – the programme has delivered 7 x ROI after only 2 weeks and we have 5 ½ months to go!”VP of Continuous Improvement, Global Market Leader
What is different about Process Optimisation?
- Every organisation has significant hidden potential in its operations, often worth millions of pounds per year in additional profitability. We teach your people to identify these opportunities and make them visible for everyone to see
- A study across almost 100 major manufacturing companies discovered that approximately 80% of time spent on CI was on working on opportunities of zero or low value. We teach your people how to prioritise their actions, based on factual data at every level of the organisation, so every action “moves the needle”
- Mental constraints hold back performance more than physical constraints. We coach your leadership to help your people to develop the ability, confidence and desire to overcome these constraints and deliver exceptional performance and a “can-do” culture
- Most operational improvements are not sustained. We train your people to implement permanent solutions, not only to operational problems, but also to systemic, organisational challenges, so results are sustained year-on-year
- CI programmes often fail to engage the entire workforce in working on the high-value issues. We train, coach and facilitate your people to build the tiered management systems required to engage everyone in improvement that delivers real, measurable impact – every hour of every day
- Often CI tools are cumbersome and not used day-to-day by everyone. We have invested significant time and effort in developing an extremely simple, yet extremely effective set of Process Optimisation tools which we believe to be the best-in-class and can be used at all levels of an organisation
- Virtually everyone wants to achieve great things, given the opportunity. Process Optimisation works hand in hand with our Employee Engagement approach to enable every employee to have a significant impact on the key levers of performance and profitability within their area of responsibility
- Most people in most organisations are under-utilised and have enormous amounts of untapped potential. We work with your leaders to unleash this potential. The results are always spectacular and always delivered by your people
