Behavior Proudfoot helps you to accelerate your journey to Operational Excellence, leading to sustained better performance and value generation

3 People and their behaviors are at the heart of Operational Excellence sustained results Operational Excellence programs often fall well short of management expectations. Why? Because too much effort is focused on tools and techniques, or on the development of training and handbooks. In our experience, for improvements to be sustainable far more effort needs to be placed on implementation, especially changing behaviours. Performance Level 95% 95% 95% 75% Overall Performance Processes Management Systems Improvement Techniques People & Behaviors 64% in short, the key link between aspired and achieved Operational Excellence is your people Successful Operational Excellence is powered by your people: understanding their roles and responsibilities doing the right thing whilst working with simple, aligned and wellknown processes being empowered to make decisions as required striving for excellence in all that they do being focused on the benefits for the business and building the company they want to work for
