A GREAT COACH Maximizes a Team’s Performance by KNOWING ITS POTENTIAL…

A GREAT MANAGEMENT TEAM maximizes operating and financial performance by focusing on Asset and Process Potential in addition to budget.

Most companies never discover or measure the gap between potential (optimum) and actual performance because they do not know how to determine process optimums. Measuring success based on variance to budget limits the view of “upside potential”.

Organizational Barriers prevent your assets from performing at their potential or optimum level, which may be significantly higher than budget. These barriers must be removed in order to tap into lost tons and millions of dollars in lost margin. Some barriers are caused by process/ equipment failures and inferior information systems, but most are created by people:

• management systems,
• poor communications,
• perceptions about “normal” process performance,
• a lack of focus on equipment delays and customer/supplier requirements,
• a reluctance to talk about “what’s not working” and
• a belief that expansion capital is the only way to increase production.

I teach managers and employees how to remove the barriers that prevent them from working together as true partners when maximizing process performance.
