Happy Halloween…
Have you seen our new website?
Check out our new website! We decided it was time – after 8 years – to refresh our website design, to give it a new look and feel and to better represent our style and approach. Also to make it easier for people to access the information they are looking for. We are very excited about the result and hope you like it to. We would welcome your feedback.
RPA - Death-knell or Opportunity for Lean?
By the way – for those that want the executive summary the conclusion was overwhelmingly “opportunity” but with some key risks to be managed.
"A fantastic RPA event this afternoon, hosted by Process Insight. Thanks Andy Liddle, Andrew Ruddick and everyone who presented. See you at the next one! "
Meran Crawford, CI Lead Royal London
If you would like to attend future PICL networking events the next one will be in the Spring of 2018 and further details will be provided in an upcoming e-mail.
OPEX Planning for the next year
- Our OpEx Assessment helps you quickly review your performance against a number of OpEx foundations and areas of best practice. A sequence of checklist questions enables you to rapidly evaluate how you are doing and identify any gaps that might need addressing in 2018. This assessment addresses the “what”.
- Our Deployment Benchmarking tool is based on 8 critical success factors for delivering value from your programmes. Whether you have a mature programme, or are just taking your first steps it is always valuable to know how you stack up versus best practice – and it may well steer you to better focus your improvement activities. This assessment addresses the “how”.
Liam Mills, Head of Continuous Improvement, Johnson Matthey
If you are interested in either tool please contact me.
Also you might be thinking about MBB certification as one of your personal goals for 2018 – if so we can help you do a quick gap analysis and identify a clear action plan to achieve this goal
Team news
Michaela has been very busy since joining us 12 months ago – time flies! A native German speaker, Michaela has been working a lot with Aenova, a German pharma company.
Supporting them in the delivery of a company-wide, multi–site OpEx deployment Michaela is probably spending more time in German airports than is good for her! However her efforts are being very well received…
Fur mich war der Kurs (von Process Insight) ein voller Erfolg da ich meine Erwartungen und Ziele mit vollster Zufriedenheit erreicht habe. Ausserdem kann ich die Methoden und das Erlernte nicht nur geschäftlich einsetzen, sonder auch anderweitig nutzen.
Fabian G Supply Chain Manager
Orietta Fiorroni joined us in April of this year. Orietta is a native Italian speaker and also has excellent French (further burnishing our pan European credentials!) She brings with her 20 years of experience leading and supporting transformational change in organisations in the Oil & Gas, Agribusiness, Healthcare, Chemical Manufacturing and Sugar Refining businesses. She is a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, a Siemens trained PACT (Project Acceleration through Coaching and Training) coach and a PRINCE2 Practitioner.
Orietta’s main interest is in leveraging the “people “side of an organization to achieve Operational Excellence. She is an executive coach, has designed and delivered a number of training programmes, and deployed LSS in various organisations. She believes in engaging and involving individuals from all ‘tiers’ in an organisation, simplifying the LSS language so it is accessible to all, and generally bringing Continuous Improvement from what is seen as a ‘function’ to the heart of the business. A particular focus area for Orietta is what she calls “performance management” – a blend of Visual management, Tier Management and Leader Standard Work which engages everyone in OpEx through their daily activities.
