Develop the capability of your people in operations, enabling them to perform, improve and adapt every day.
Get in Touch

Many teams have the right people and processes, but still struggle to deliver consistent performance. The missing link is often how work is managed — how teams plan, measure and improve together.

Our Operational Excellence Ways of Working programme helps you build that link. We work side by side with team leaders and frontline teams to embed practical, repeatable habits that turn management routines into a source of energy, ownership and control.

Using our proven Operational Excellence framework, we coach teams to understand their purpose, manage capacity, use data effectively and solve problems at source. These foundations are brought to life through the Ten Golden Principles of Operational Excellence, which together define how high-performing teams manage their work every day.

Through structured huddles, visual management and daily performance reviews, we create a rhythm of improvement that connects strategy to the place of work.

The result is an operation that feels in control. Teams understand their goals, leaders support rather than firefight, and performance becomes both visible and self-improving. Within weeks, most clients  using our Operational Excellence Programme achieve a 15% uplift in efficiency, alongside a stronger, more engaged workforce.

Best for operational leaders who want to create a consistent, high-performing culture that sustains itself long after the consultants have left.

Frequently asked questions about Operational Excellence ways of working

What is an Operational Excellence programme and how does it work?

An Operational Excellence programme embeds daily management practices that drive consistent performance. Our programme coaches teams in Ten Golden Principles covering planning, measurement, problem-solving and improvement. 

Through structured huddles, visual management and performance reviews, teams develop repeatable habits connecting strategy to frontline work, typically achieving 10-15% efficiency gains within weeks.

How does an Operational Excellence framework create sustainable improvement?

An Operational Excellence framework provides consistent tools and methods teams use daily, not one-off improvement projects. Our framework teaches teams to understand purpose, manage capacity, use data effectively and solve problems at source. 

Leaders coach rather than firefight, and performance becomes visible and self-improving, creating culture change that sustains after consultants leave.

What makes an effective Operational Excellence model for frontline teams?

An effective Operational Excellence model empowers frontline teams with practical habits, not complex theory. Our model uses Ten Golden Principles brought to life through daily huddles, visual management, and problem-solving routines. 

Teams gain ownership and control, solving issues at source rather than escalating. This approach delivers measurable performance gains alongside stronger engagement and capability.
