Delivering Training at a well-known charity
A major national charity wished to upskill their team to deliver improvements within their organisation.
​
Using bespoke training materials we delivered hands-on training to cohorts of selected OPEX Project Leaders and Sponsors.
​
We then supported the trainees as they successfully delivered their first OPEX projects, providing support, encouragement, and advice on the best tools and principles to apply to deliver their individual project objectives.​
​
Significant improvements and benefits were delivered across the projects and many trainees felt enthused to take on additional improvement activities.
Supporting Digital Transformation at a leading standards organisation
A major standards organisation ran a project to streamline and standardise processes within its Regulatory Services Department as an enabler to a significant Digital Transformation.
Holding regulatory and business requirements workshops for subject matter experts, we utilised the information gathered to develop efficient processes and gained formal approval from senior leaders. We succeeded in designing 20 new, approved processes for development within the IT solution.
​
Employing an agile sprint approach with the software vendor team, and working with, and deputising for, the business Product Owner, we then helped to develop a customer-facing ‘digital pre-application’ portal which was successfully deployed, providing the organisation's clients and colleagues with increased confidence, visibility and predictability in their day to day operations.
Diagnostic Review and Process Improvements at a major automotive manufacturer
A major automotive manufacture was undertaking a multi-million pound inventory reduction project. We were engaged to identify improvement opportunities and document processes in two change projects.
​
In the first project, looking at the end-to-end build planning process, we completed a diagnostic review of current state processes, leading to the identification of numerous improvements opportunities. We documented our findings in a Board Pack which supported a proposal for a significant transformation programme.
In the second project, looking at inventory and inbound supply, we identified a need for several new processes to enhance management and control of inventory. Working with key business stakeholders, we designed, documented and gained approval for the new processes.​
Delivering improved stock management at a leading university publisher
A well-known publisher has an issue with overprinted stock and we were engaged to develop a process to better manage production levels.
Following a review of the current state process and a detailed analysis of stock levels we devised and developed a complex, unbiased, Excel-based calculation tool.
​
Gaining support from senior managers, we created detailed training and communication materials and persuaded senior editors to relinquish responsibility for front list quantities.
​
We succeeded in developing and rolling out a new process which enabled the company to drive objective decision making to better control stock levels.
Developing process management at a leading defence contractor
An organisation was undergoing a major transformation as a result of a public to private sector transition.
​
We reviewed existing staff approaches and identified the need for new and more robust process management. We then trained and coached approximately 50 process owners to enable sustained process management, compliance and continuous improvement.
​
Working with the new process owners, we formulated a process structure involving over 200 operations and devised and developed a new standard operating model (SOM) and quality management system (QMS).
