Operational Excellence
Optimising current operations for peak performance
Operational excellence is a strategic approach designed to enhance the performance of current operations to satisfy business and customer demands.
It integrates principles such as continuous improvement, customer-centricity, standardisation, employee engagement, data-driven decision-making, and upskilling of the workforce.
What we do
Operational excellence is a strategic framework that directs your efforts towards key goals. Our transformation practice specialists help you to implement this framework and achieve organisational success.
Operational excellence fundamentally changes the shape of the way you work. It shortens lead times, increases the quality and consistency of output, and reduces operational costs while delivering enhanced insights into performance and operational control.
These objectives apply across the entire organisation, from primary customer-focused processes to financial administrative processes, from audit cycles to ESG initiatives.
Improvement is at the heart of our approach, ensuring that we consistently deliver excellence in all aspects of our work.
How we work with you
The client always comes first, and we adapt our service offering to meet your needs. There are a wide range of ways in which we can work with you, ranging from support for individual modules to complete operational excellence programmes.
We focus on five key areas:
To achieve real process improvement we rely on evidence-based strategies that deliver measurable outcomes. We use Lean principles and a toolkit that includes value stream mapping, root-cause analysis, iterative improvement cycles and structure performance monitoring.
Teamwork
Efficient task allocation, collaboration and continuous improvement are fundamental to a team’s success and overall effectiveness. We optimise team dynamics, foster a culture of effective communication in your organisation and promote higher engagement, satisfaction, and performance.
Leadership
To translate strategy into operational objectives you must have a clear vision of your goals. We help you to align those goals, develop transparent management frameworks, and inspire and support your own team. OKR and associated tools such as Workpath can be used to achieve this.
Training
We offer certified Lean 6 Sigma trainings, amongst others, as one of our tailored courses. We aim to leave you with a long-term legacy of improved skills and a mindset that encourages continuous improvement.
Maturity Assessment
We provide a comprehensive maturity assessment covering process, performance management, people, culture and behaviours, and customer. This will enable you to measure your current position and track progress.
