4 Common Problems
in Organizations

All organizations from healthcare to manufacturing face problems in satisfying customers, safety, teamwork and operationalizing best practices. Here are some common symptoms our clients experience:
Your Business Performance has Stalled or is Slipping

Your Business Performance has Stalled or is Slipping

You’ve tried quality improvement, lean, six sigma, lean sigma and you realize they all generate the same limited results. You then start recognizing that the most variable set of processes resides in your management system: your core component designed to solve problems. We can help you transform your people and processes in a standardized management system so they both radically improve.
Your Improvement Method isn't Getting Sustained Results

Your Improvement Method isn't Getting Sustained Results

You want continuous improvement and better margins. Targeting cost alone doesn’t work. You know in your heart that Focusing on Safety and Quality naturally and sustainably reduces costs – but the pressure to reduce cost is great.  Our customized enterprise excellence strategy centered on your management system will drive improvement in safety, quality and productivity with results that stick.

Doesn’t Act Like a Team

The team is the basic human unit for winning. Just because they work together and cooperate with each other every day, doesn’t mean your leaders behave like a team. Through individualized coaching we transform each leader to fully engage as a team member.  The result: your top leaders, using mutual trust and respect, create high performing units that effect real change.

Testimonials

What Clients Say

Kim Hollon
"In a prior life, when I attempted to align all employees to our enterprise goals, I struggled with communication, real engagement and this level of sustained changes across the entire organization. This system has allowed us as a team to move together, communicate, problem solve and accomplish a lot during unprecedented change."
Kim Hollon President & CEO • Signature Healthcare
Richard Tinsman
"As we started the pilot hall, the employees were very unsure of where we were going and if we would stick it out.  Well today, the rolling mill probably has the best morale in the plant, productivity doubled and employee engagement happens every minute."
Richard Tinsman Vice President, Latrobe Operations • Carpenter Technologies
Dr. Mike Culig
“The effect of OE (Operational Excellence) has been remarkable. Methodically, problems are addressed daily as they arise, and the risk-adjusted incidence of major adverse events has decreased by 50% as compared with that for the region. Cost savings of $884,900 in the isolated CABG cohort have resulted."
Dr. Mike Culig Chief • Division of Cardiac Surgery • Forbes Hospital •Allegheny Health Network
