Operational Alchemy

From Unpredictable to Unstoppable

Unlock Your Competitive Edge

A Competitive Edge indicates how well an organisation can consistently deliver high-quality results, adapt to change, and consistently achieve their ambitions.

In the realm of industry titans, A Competitive Edge is not just an advantage— it's the only sustainable strategy.

From quarterly guidance to multi-year strategic initiatives, most organisations lack the capability to realise their ambitions.
 
For technically complex, safety-critical, capital-intensive, heavy industries, this shows up in three common ways

Unpredictable/ inconsistent Production

Operations are constantly lagging plans, unable to reliably hit production targets, market guidance, or delight customers.

Failed improvement initiatives

Projects are overspending, underdelivering and eroding confidence.
They also fail to realise the promised ROI.

Increasing workforce headaches

Declining productivity metrics, accentuated by low employee engagement, high turnover rates and increasing contractor management.
Overall, operational costs are eroding profit margins and the workforce is becoming increasingly disengaged, all while the market expects more.
 
The risk of losing market share, becoming the victim of a hostile takeover or forced into an early shut-down are only increasing.

There Are Good Reasons Why Most Companies Dig Themselves Into A Hole

Facing these headwinds, it can feel impossible to get back on the front foot.
 
It’s no wonder that leaders are constantly searching for instant, silver bullet solutions like expensive new software or process improvement. But these never seem to live up to their promises.
 
To make matters worse, there are so many great models out there from industry heavy-weights like Brené Brown, Simon Sinek and David Marquet. But all of them focus on excelling at one specific thing…

A system is not the sum of its parts but the product of its interactions
