The Right People
Bringing your organization to operational excellence, and keeping it stable once it will have reached maturity, is a mid-long term effort. An effort which depends 200% on the deep engagement and continuous contribution of every single employee in the organization.
Embracing a culture of continuous improvement, having a restless questioning attitude, always searching for the best and the most efficient in every step of the working processes, take individual effort.
Operational excellence journey needs THE RIGHT people on-board - professionals with strong experience and expertise, equally standing out for their attitude and work ethics.
Whereas expertise builds-up with training, mentoring and on-job experience, the attitude is the ultimate differentiator between reliable, autonomous, engaged professionals and...just professionals.
And it’s exactly the people's attitude that will sustain your mid-long term effort to reaching Operational Excellence, maintaining live all the tools, practices, initiatives, continuous search for improvement, contributing to the small gains day after day and to the major milestones down the road.
Going for Operational Excellence definitely takes strong, influential leadership at the very top in the organization. It takes constant energy to provoke and sustain the change, sharing the vision with every single employee, over-communicating the high-level strategy and in simple terms how every team-member contributes to getting there, keeping tight control on the regular results and steering the organization on the way forward.
With constant presence.
But Operational Excellence success is not entirely a leader’s job. Actually, even a visionary and disciplined leader will struggle and very likely fail, without having the right people on-boarded to the common effort of reaching Operational Excellence. Influential leaders, very much present amongst the organization dynamics and employees fiting your company culture and engaged to the long term effort with discipline, rigour, and flexibility, are the key elements for a strong foundation to build Operational Excellence. This is what we recognise as a balanced organization, with balanced professionals. With the Right People.
At the end of the day, the right people in your company, once engaged and empowered, become the driving motor that will sustain the Op Ex journey.
Getting the right people on board goes beyond hiring procedures, standard interviews with predictable questions and correct answers. Hiring and promoting decisions should be based on objective factors and, just as important, on candidate’s attitude and mindset. Irrespective of the time pressure to fill in headcount structures and opened positions - better let strong technical expertise go and keep searching if attitude is not there în the first place.
