Capabilities/Operating leadership
Capability

Operating leadership

We place senior operators inside the business to lead the operation and build the infrastructure it runs on. We take responsibility for how the company performs day to day, for as long as it is needed.
What this involves

The work inside it.

Leading the operation

Senior operators inside the business, holding the day-to-day responsibility for how it runs.

Strategy and priorities

Setting what the operation should focus on, and what it should stop doing.

Process and performance

Putting the core processes right, and holding the business to how it performs.

Operating infrastructure

Building the systems and structure underneath, so the improvement stays once we step back.

Our approach

We lead it, and we own the result.

We lead the operation from inside, alongside the client's people, and we own the result. We stay in the seat for as long as the business needs it, and we build toward the day it runs well without us.

We take on a small number of clients at a time, so the operation always has a senior team that knows it as well as its leaders do.

When we are called in

The situations behind this work.

The business has outgrown the way it is run.
A leadership gap has left the operation without a senior hand.
Growth has added complexity the current team cannot yet hold.
An owner needs the operation led while the next stage is built.
