Operating Effectively

Overview

Improve your existing capabilities to improve the bottom line…

Getting more leverage out of existing capabilities is a common desire for managers in all industries.  It improves the bottom line, increases employee enthusiasm, and provides room for growth. Achieving operational excellence hinges on bringing together leadership, teamwork, and problem solving routinely to continuously improve. Each organization’s business objectives determine the focus areas for its quest towards excellence. The concept of organizational excellence is straight-forward and easily understood. The challenge ahead lies in selecting the areas to achieve excellence in and implementing the changes required to meet your objectives. Endeavor’s operational excellence frameworks offer clients leading practices in setting objectives, selecting improvement areas and moving forward with achieving a world-class competitive posture.

Business Process Design & Optimization

Building shareholder value requires a company optimally perform along multiple dimensions. Implementing improvements to achieve world-class performance may come in the form of: revenue growth, cost control, supply chain optimization, strategic materials sourcing, manufacturing, service operations, change management, lean six sigma, and/or business process redesign. In combination with a differentiated and well focused business strategy, performance improvement is fundamental to a company’s success.

Typically, we start by using diagnostic tools to identify the key levers for improving performance for our client’s individualization.  Developing key priorities to drive performance improvement, we define specific goals collaboratively with key client team members.  We then integrate client and Endeavor resources using the most precise add valuable tools, functional expertise, and change management techniques to deliver results.
