Want to Know What the Evolving Role of Operational Excellence Means for You?

Progressive leaders are increasingly viewing Operational Excellence not just as a tactical continuous improvement system, but as the basis of their organisation’s only sustainable source of competitive advantage. This evolution in thinking is driving a major shift in the role of the Operational Excellence/Transformation Leader.

To understand what this evolving role of the OpEx leader means in practice, and what opportunities it creates for you and your organisation, we recommend you book a free personalised Operational Excellence Executive Briefing  from one of our strategy implementation experts.​​


Typically taking around 90 minutes, the key topics that will be covered include the lessons we’ve learnt studying more than 40 lean pioneers, what this means for the evolving role of Operational Excellence and the executives charged with implementing it, what a world class operating system looks like, what challenges you can expect and what resources are available to help you raise the probability of success.​

Want Free Advice and Actionable Recommendations Based on Your Current State and Ambitions?

If you are looking for actionable recommendations from our strategy implementation experts based on your specific context, and what we have learnt works in a similar context, then we recommend you book a Complementary “Deep Dive” Consultation. This free, no obligation, consultation is typically provided in two steps – first we listen and understand your current state and priorities/challenges and then, after reflection and potentially further clarifications, we share our recommendation on what you can practically do to achieve your priorities and improve certainty of execution.​​

We are more than happy to sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement if this helps to ensure that the discussion can be as open as needed and we always provide the option to record the session in which we provide our recommendations/explore further the best practices we think are relevant to the next steps on your journey. Typically, we would look to complete an initial “deep dive” consultation in two 60 minute Teams calls (with the second call usually scheduled a week after the first).
