Challenges
Achieving full potential performance in heavy industries continues to get more and more complex due to operational underperformance or major changes in the business environment There’s a myriad of business and technical systems required to build and operate assets safely while complying with regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations. Furthermore, our clients report they are losing key technical talent and operating knowhow at an increasing rate.
As a result, business transformation efforts aimed at improving performance continue to fail 7 times out of 10. Despite building internal business improvement capabilities, companies continue to struggle to identify, capture and sustain performance improvement opportunities when full transformations programs are not required.
Unfortunately, without the much-needed evidence-based technical knowledge, traditional consulting frameworks and knowledge of past practices are no longer enough to bring about significant, sustainable improvement. The result is a reliance on the client’s industry and technical knowhow and a data-driven approach where critical business issues can only be explored at a superficial level.
