Executive Advisory
Executive Advisory provides the insight that your managers can’t, or won’t give you.
Get unfiltered and experienced observation, insight and advice with one goal in mind – delivering the results you want.
Executives have a strategic mandate.
You need unfiltered and accurate information for the best decisions.
Our Executive Advisory gives you the insight needed to make decisions and lead change.
You can’t be on the front lines. Reports can be flawed, miss the mark, or even misleading – they focus on tactics, not results.
Management goals are tactical and driven by departmental targets. You need a strategic, not tactical, take on what’s going on. For best results, you need it in real time.
Alignment between strategic goals and what happens on the ground is needed to achieve results.
- Leaders need to “rock the boat”
- Big results require big improvements and some risk
- Managers are naturally risk averse, inclined to slow, incremental changes
- Perceived risk slows managers down, perceiving slow and steady as safe
- We can bridge that gap with our decades of experience
Maintenance and reliability are highly specialized, not covered by engineering or business degrees. We’ve been practicing and teaching it for years.
Your trusted advisor
A solid business case isn’t enough. To get results, you must lead the change. We help you turn resistance into enthusiasm.
Providing a fresh perspective
Managers keep things steady, avoid risk, and move slowly. Most have no experience with large-scale, cross-functional change and your organization is set up to “stay steady”. Yet, as Einstein said, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” We bring that perspective.
Even the big-name consultancies use us
You could call on the large consultancies. They excel in strategy, bring a heavy focus on technology enablers, but struggle with implementation. When it comes to reliability and maintenance in operations, they have little to no experience – they even call on us for help!
We work with you
As your advisor, we provide eyes and ears on the ground, keep you informed on what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what can be done about it. You can rely on our years of knowing based in successes and setbacks. We eliminate the costly mistakes that come from trial-and-error approaches.
Without us, the odds are against you
Our book, “Uptime for Executives“, explains what happens, why it happens, and why internal changes often fall short. Written specifically for executives, it’s a quick read (about an hour), perfect for a short flight. It’s available in multiple languages, along with our other books.
Our greatest successes come when we work closely with the executive sponsor and decision-maker. Executive advisory is an essential part of our Conscious Asset Model, our unique approach to working with major clients.
