What is Transformational / OPEX?

“It marks a big step in your development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone.” Andrew Carnegie

Transformative work Is the act of creating a macro change which is intended to deliver “double-digit” returns across multiple business metrics simultaneously. This activity is typically engaged to rapidly achieve a competitive advantage in a changing global marketplace, or where immediate and substantial action is required to ensure business success and longevity.

By coupling transformation activity along with operational excellence as a secondary action, a systematic approach is taken to initially stabilize and then optimize a particular operation or business. The result can be dramatic improvements which help leapfrog competition, save a floundering business, and return optimal success and prosperity. Triggers for these activities come in many forms but often align along the following business “fault-lines”:

Technology change
Sector over/under capacity
Labor costs and productivity
Global competition
Supply base complexity & challenges
Economic realignment
Demand shifts
Market realignment
Process or people capability
M&A or sale activity
Disruptive competitors or products

Although not a comprehensive list, these factors often create a business burning platform situation for a client team. The solutions that are required for a transformative action require analysis, followed by actions intended to fully countermeasure the challenges, usually in a compressed timeline. Making your worst problem into an opportunity is a critical way of thinking. Solutions are developed in a time sensitive fashion working with the business client to stabilize and then accelerate the transformation process.
