PAST ENGAGEMENT EXAMPLES
Mining Remote Operations Model
Worked with project leadership through critical use cases, remote and autonomous enabled operations flow. We identified and aligned on implications for onsite-offsite collaboration model, role design, and talent / hiring / training needs. The associated headcount model served as direct input to the final feasibility study.
-
Context: Design a digital-first mine operations model across the value chain (mine to customer) to maximize the amount of work performed offsite for a greenfield underground North American mine.
Outcomes: Remote-first operations; efficiency + safety gains; implementation readiness. Presently under construction.
Healthcare Merger Integration
Worked with client leads to stand up Integrated Management office (IMO) structure using established tools. Co-led IMO alongside client partner, coaching functional leaders to drive integration and synergy plans. Established and coached leadership team through governance and Board updates.
-
Context: Merger integration of two North American laboratory companies into a single entity with national reach.
Outcomes: Timeline & synergy targets met; client team upskilled for subsequent merger.
Infrastructure JV Strategy and Startup
The 2+ year program involved strategy and execution for negotiations, JV setup, leadership onboarding, organization design, and operations/business processes.
-
Context: Establishment of a complex multi-stakeholder infrastructure joint venture (JV) for a greenfield mining operation in West Africa.
Outcomes: Senior Leadership Team onboarded and aligned to joint priorities; next level leadership engaged in planning, complex JV operationalized within target launch timelines.
Industrial Operating Model Redesign and Implementation
Design & implementation of a customer-first operating model, required major business process improvements, financial business case, & implementation of the roadmap.
-
Context: Equipment Dealer with overlapping functions and roles as a result of multiple recent acquisitions, needed to simplify operating model.
Outcomes: Executive Leadership Team ownership of agreed changes, middle managers equipped to lead Phase 2 of implementation, 10% accelerated to bottom line by end of Year 1.
Underground Mine Digital Transformation
Design and implementation of a two-phased approach to enable eventual adoption of digital solution. Initial work co-developed new Management Operating System (MOS) to develop cultural habits to enable successful SIC implementation. Modular business case and roadmap to enable implementation and adoption of SIC at the right pace, taking into account technical and workforce requirements for sustained success.
-
Context: Underground mine in Western Europe with aspiration to implement Short Interval Control (SIC) management to stem operational value leaks.
Outcomes: MOS changes enabled immediate availability benefits, providing client with the ability to fund longer term changes.
Transit Integration Strategy and Business Case
Stakeholder alignment across the municipalities, establishment of governance structure, facilitation of client teams to develop strategy, business and operational models, assess financial viability, and establish target funding model. Acting as a neutral thought partner to assess all potential scenarios and associated benefits. Scenarios included minimum participation levels for viability.
-
Context: To optimize regional mobility for citizens, facilitation of strategy and business case for integrating 10+ North American municipal transit operators into a single entity.
Outcomes: With the available scenarios, each entity was ultimately equipped to determine its own participation.
