The Company

Leanmap is an international operations consultancy, specializing in industrialization, rationalization and business turnarounds. We provide the strategies, world-class solutions, and interim management assistance that solve operational constraints, raise performance levels, and prepare our clients for the future. We operate from hubs in Switzerland, Hong Kong, and the United States to support companies worldwide to restructure, stabilize, and expand. We are mainly called to optimize operational footprints, layout new factories, streamline processes, lead transformation programs, and bring mission-critical projects back on track.

Our Method

Our proven process of “Navigating to Results” sets us apart from traditional consulting firms simply because we simultaneously address people, processes, and systems to ensure that results are not only discussed but actually achieved. We act as partners to our clients, providing end-to-end services that span the entire spectrum, from the initial diagnostics to the full scale implementation of a transformation or turnaround program.

Our People

We are a group of independent professionals, devoted to make the world more efficient. We are passionate about what we do, thrive on change and enjoy solving problems while leading people to discover new ways of thinking and working. We work as coaches, transferring knowledge to build world-class skill and capability. If more assistance is required, we engage as consultants, developing detailed solutions, ready for implementation. For maximum control over processes and results, we engage as interim managers, leading the implementation until results are achieved and systems are in place to sustain them.

Our clients include leading companies such as Mercedes-Benz (automotive), Franke (kitchen systems), Landis & Gyr (energy metering), Detroit Diesel (truck engines), Navico (marine instruments), Techtronic (household appliances), Gate Gourmet (airline catering) – improving profitability and competitiveness through rapid innovation and world-class efficiency.

The Results
