Whether you want to play at the top of your game, or change the game, we can help.
We help organisations leverage Strategic Thinking, Hoshin, OKRs, Lean and Agile best practices to consistently outperform expectations
Every day it gets incrementally harder to win. Customers are constantly expecting more for less, and competitors are constantly raising the bar. Only those organisations that have an effective improvement system – one that reinforces the right principles and ensures every heart and mind is in the game – will be able to consistently out-perform the operating plan.
Breakthrough Partners can help you understand the core drivers of value in your business and build a world-class improvement system that delivers year on year productivity improvements
Virtually all organisations will face some form of significant disruption in the next decade. Those organisations that can anticipate and respond effectively to this disruption will benefit from it, those that do not will become victims of it.
Breakthrough Partners can help you leverage Hoshin Kanri, OKR, and Agile best practices to increase the probability you will deliver the game-changing breakthroughs your organisation needs to succeed in an ever more hyperconnected and disruptive world.

"Breakthrough Partners have been instrumental in helping Nokia’s leadership understand not just the value and power of the Hoshin process but also what it takes to truly make it successful. They have successfully guided a number of Nokia business units through the strategy refinement and deployment process and helped us understand what needs to be in place to drive disciplined execution of the plan. I would have no hesitation in recommending the team to any organisation looking to improve their ability to implement strategy."
Akhil Sharma
Global Business Transformation Lead | Nokia -
"In the end", as Scott Nelson, the executive who led the deployment of the Molex Operating System put it, “the decision was easy – adopting the Breakthrough Business System cut years off our time to value and allowed us to develop a new foundational daily management system for a fraction of the cost it would have taken us to do it in-house.”
Scott Nelson
Director Global Operational Excellence | Molex -
"Breakthrough Partners helped APM Terminals build and deploy Policy Deployment (Hoshin Kanri) into their APM Way of Working Lean business system, which was deployed to 31 Ports and Terminals around the World, resulting in a step change of our Breakthrough Objectives identification, planning and strategy execution.The engagement developed through a model and replicate approach, supported by onsite and remote services and I would certainly recommend the team to anyone looking to fast track internal strategy systems or skills."
Paul Nestor
(former) Global Head of Lean Transformation | APMT -
"As senior leaders wanting to learn more, we found the advisory and training services from Breakthrough Partners to be of immense value. The ability to gain knowledge from those who have actively been involved in strategy execution for more than 30 years has allowed us to fast track our thinking around strategy refinement, deployment and execution and we look forward to continuing our work together."
Arnaud Albert
Head of Operational Excellence | ENL & Rogers Groups -
“Having Breakthrough Partners' guidance during the deployment and implementation of Lean in our organization has been extremely valuable. It has been a journey full of learning and challenges. Without a doubt, Breakthrough Partners has the expertise to support organizations through these transformation processes. Moving forward, it is crucial for us to sustain these changes, and I believe that each organization should be able to adapt the FastLean system to meet their local and cultural needs. Nonetheless, it serves as a solid framework and a great starting point."
