KERRY
“Breakthrough Partners worked with us on the “Master Planning” process. The Breakthrough Partners team took us through the theory, but more importantly brought the issues to life. Master Planning is now part of our daily routine, and has brought change of mind-set which we are now being rolled out (daily huddles, etc). The Breakthrough Partners team has a unique skill in bringing people along the journey. I have no hesitation in recommending Breakthrough Partners.”

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.
