Consulting

We enable clients improve their competitive position with rapid performance improvements that result in better returns, lower costs, and more efficient processes; and with a stronger market position in the long-term. As strategy consultants, we help client companies define, change, and deploy their strategies. As operations consultants we solve constraints, streamline processes, rationalize the operating model, design new factory layouts, and bring mission-critical projects back on track. In essence, we are there to help leaders lift organizations to the next level – Navigating to Results.

Benchmarking

Today’s global marketplace demands that companies become faster and more productive on a consistent basis. To succeed and prosper in the long run, companies must drive the changes necessary to reach a level of health and maturity that make them invincible to attack by competitors. What’s your current position? Do you operate at a world-class level? Are your processes on a par with best practices? Where are the gaps and opportunities? What can be done to get to the next level? Do the online self-assessment to find out; measure health and maturity level against world-class references.

Academy

Our academy program builds certified capability in lean management, six sigma quality, cost reduction, and project acceleration. In intensive training seminars, the “Boot Camps”, participants learn to see the hidden wastes and opportunities, and how to go after them. They learn to map the value stream end-to-end, structure cross-functional projects, organize teams, solve systemic problems and – most importantly – stretch beyond their personal comfort zone. Those champions grow personally and professionally, and bring back not only seminar papers but also new thinking and enhanced capability.

Lean Audit

Health-Check for Factory and Office

The Lean Audit allows you to determine operational health and maturity level by assessing people, processes, and systems, so you can make an accurate comparison between the existing conﬁguration and industry best practices. Insights gained from the Lean Audit will help you identify the opportunities and course-corrections that ultimately lead to higher performance levels, while gaining a competitive edge from a leaner operation. Performing a Lean Audit helps you challenge the status quo and improve operational ﬁtness to better compete in a rapidly evolving world.

The Lean Audit is available as guidebook and application for desktop and mobile.

Navigating to Results sets us apart from traditional consulting firms simply because we simultaneously address people, processes, structures and systems, ensuring that results are not only discussed but actually achieved. We act as partners to our clients, providing end-to-end services from the initial diagnostics to a full-scale transformation program. With our deep technical knowledge, proven management expertise and cross-cultural experience, we are able to implement changes that bring businesses to the next level. We emphasize on cooperation, roll up our sleeves, and work side-by-side with our clients’ teams, leading them through the critical change process until skills are developed, projects implemented, gains realized, and systems in place to sustain them long-term – Navigating to Results.
