Many organisations get disrupted not by doing the wrong thing but by doing a lot of things right.
There is usually a competent strategy, people are focussed on the current competitive environment and the delivery of continuous improvement. However, an intense focus on the immediate sows the seeds of disruption.
Working with the leadership and wider teams we build a view of the disruptive future and a clear understanding of the current position.
We review the marriage between core competence and strategy highlighting where it can be optimised and leveraged.
We map the business's inputs and intensities to the strategic phases, prioritising the optimisation of the here & now.
Having been involved in projects, we know only too well the level of disruption they can cause.
Therefore we take a hothouse approach with typically 2 experienced professionals, supported by our leading edge analytics, aiming to complete the project in 6 weeks.
Throughout the project we transfer skills and knowledge to your team and continue to support you for 12 months with quarterly performance reviews.
We support the building of a management framework, critical control points, cultural cues and intelligence platform.
As well as the practical tools and dashboards to meet the needs of the organisation.

Finding the core competence hiding in plain sight.
A traditional German engineering business, acquired by a pan-European group, had grown a number of divisions piecemeal, providing turnkey solutions for the packaging industry from factories and lines to tooling, forming machines, inspection lines and material handling. Barely profitable and in slow decline, the business was re-organised around a newly identified core competence: within 18 months profits improved by over €2m, and quality and staff retention improved greatly.
Re-booting a loss-maker onto a profitable growth path.
A loss-making B2B subsidiary of a FTSE 100 company required 're-booting' and setting on a profitable growth path. Within 18 months profitability improved by over £3m, SKUs were rationalised by 34% with no lost volumes or customers, and OEE improved from 70% to 92%.

A deliberately small project, told for what it reveals about how we think. The discipline we bring to enterprise transformation showed up, unchanged, in a decision about one teacher's website. That is rather the point.
