What we do

Transformation & Readiness

Where are we, and what changes first?

The problem

Technology budgets are often committed before anyone has established where the organisation actually stands. The order of work is then set by what was proposed first, not by what the business needs first.

What we do

  • Readiness assessment based on relevant frameworks and methodologies, including the SIRI framework

    An assessment of where the organisation stands today and what should change first.

  • Energy-management needs assessment

    Carried out within the readiness assessment, so that energy consumption is understood before capital is committed to it.

  • Transformation programme design and sequencing

    A programme designed in stages and sequenced so that each stage can be measured.

What you get

  • A stated current position, in terms the leadership team can act on
  • An order of work: what changes first, and what depends on it
  • A programme in stages, each of which can be measured

The economic outcome

Where investment decisions are being made without a shared view of the current position, assessing first directs the budget to the changes that matter, in the order they depend on each other.

  • Where transformation spend is committed before the starting point is known, sequencing it against an assessed position reduces the spend that goes on work which has to be redone.
  • Where an operation is asked to change several things at once, a staged programme lets each change be measured in operation before the next one begins.

Where this pillar takes you

Improve factory performance

Where a factory is not performing the way it should, the route starts by establishing how ready the operation is, and only then moves to the systems, the operations and maintenance practice, and the intelligence over them.

Where to start

Where technology investment is not producing a return, the first step is not another system. It is to establish where the organisation stands and what the investment was meant to change — and to sequence the work from there.

Start with a diagnostic

Who it is for

Organisations in substantial transformation, and manufacturers with real operational complexity. For the CEO or owner weighing growth, profitability and transformation risk, and for the transformation lead who needs readiness, a roadmap, sequencing and benefits.

How an engagement starts

It starts with the problem, in your words. From there a diagnostic establishes what should work better and what it is worth, before anything is committed.
