Cost pressure pushes most organisations toward across-the-board cuts — which remove capability along with waste. Operational Excellence, or Lean business-thinking, takes the opposite route: eliminating waste to create, retain and sustain wealth for the business. The programmes that last are the ones aligned with the company’s strategic goals, improving competitive position and thereby holding the support of the board of directors and shareholder groups. This masterclass works through that alignment — the concept of OE, the disciplines of waste elimination, and the cultural conditions under which cost-effectiveness becomes a durable operating habit rather than a one-off exercise.

Frequently asked
Who should attend the operational excellence masterclass?
It is designed for CROs, CFOs, COOs and department heads, continuous improvement, operational excellence and Lean leaders, transformation, process automation and quality professionals — TQM, Lean Six Sigma and BPM — and HR and QHSE heads supporting culture change. The programme speaks to those who must hold board and shareholder support for the effort.
How does operational excellence differ from cost-cutting?
Across-the-board cuts remove capability along with waste; operational excellence — Lean business-thinking — takes the opposite route, eliminating waste to create, retain and sustain wealth for the business. The masterclass works on the alignment that makes such programmes last: tying OE to the company’s strategic goals and competitive position, and building the cultural conditions under which cost-effectiveness becomes a durable operating habit.

Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the masterclass in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your operating model, improvement programmes and strategic goals. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
