MILLIONS ON THE TABLE  

A strong market, and high pricing, can mask poor execution. But when the market turns, it is execution that will define who thrives, who barely holds on, and who goes under. You need to know how much poor execution is costing you. Let us help.
 

In a brief but focused 1-2 weeks on-site, we'll assess your operation for VALUE & RECOVERY and/or MAINTENANCE & RELIABILITY opportunities available through improvements in execution. We'll identify:

1. WHAT opportunities exist in all areas;
2. WHY those opportunities are either unidentified or unaddressed; and
3. HOW MUCH those opportunities represent in terms of annual financial benefit.

Our findings will surprise and delight you. 

MILLIONS IN YOUR POCKET  

Identifying opportunities is the critical first step to capturing them.. but it's only the first step. Capturing improvements in VALUE & RECOVERY and/or MAINTENANCE & RELIABILITY will require changes to processes, skill sets, and thinking. We're here to help.

After a brief Assessment, we will develop a custom Project proposal that will have us partnering with a select team from your staff. Working together week-in and week-out, we will:

1. REDESIGN the processes that have allowed the financial opportunities to go un-captured;
2. IMPLEMENT the new processes through training, coaching, and mentoring, so that they become part of your corporate DNA; and
3. CAPTURE RESULTS that are quantifiable, sizable, and sustainable.

Poor execution exists and often goes unchallenged due to a lack of performance visibility, and formalized accountability.

Conversely, poor execution is eradicated when 

1. performance is openly and consistently tracked, and 
2. actions to deal with root cause problems are formally assigned, and followed up until problems are resolved.
