Practical business transformation​

Digital transformation isn’t just about adding tech but a cultural shift towards data-driven decision-making, operational agility, and customer-centricity. For asset-intensive organisations, it’s not a choice. It’s the key to unlocking efficiency, longevity, and a sustainable future.​

But how do you do this? Where do you start? Whether maximising asset longevity, improving operational efficiency through advanced analytics or creating better customer services, our feedback-driven workshops provide practical ways to get more out of your assets, people and business.​​

SOLVE PROBLEMS, UNLOCK VALUE

Operational Innovation delivers prioritised ideas tested for feasibility, desirability, and viability.

DELIVERY

HOW IT WORKS

Operational Innovation is divided into three phases:

  • Gather intelligence through a series of 1:1 meetings and desk research. This delivers a high-level assessment of your current capabilities and an aligned view of which service will provide the most impact.
  • Imagine and validate a future state. We work through guided exercises to paint a picture of your company’s context, present and future. Then, we help you build empathy with your stakeholders, visualise your customer journey, and define a future vision.
  • Build a plan by looking at your capabilities and how to apply them, analysing your value chain, and then making trade-offs in an importance/difficulty matrix. These decisions create a business model–ready for detailed analysis and progression.

IMPACT

TESTING THE LIGHTBULB MOMENT​​​​​

While generating ideas is exciting, not all sparks ignite. We use the feasibility, desirability, viability framework to assess your problem-solving ideas and identify those with real potential.

Is this asset data problem high on our value chain? Can we build a digital workflow solution to fix it? Will this solution be sustainable and attractive to field workers? This process creates a common consensus to prioritise problems and answer key questions. It is guided by domain experts for your particular asset-intensive industry to ensure the ideas have merit and the impact on your business can be measured for accurate ROI.

FUTURE​

STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE​​​​

Digital transformation is a survival imperative for organisations that live and breathe physical assets. But getting there isn’t plug-and-play. It requires input from different parts of the business and a transformation partner with knowledge of asset-intensive technologies and best practice processes to understand the gaps that hinder your digital connectivity.

Our Operational Innovation approach helps you build a roadmap for greater asset maturity. It separates the sparks from the flames that drive digital connectivity, improve workforce engagement, and ultimately deliver improved customer service.
