“High performance
with ease”

- a way of being that delivers exceptional results without heroic effort

Are your strategy and execution in tension?

Is your vision for the development of your organisation getting closer or does it seem to be fixed on the horizon?  Is it easy to execute your strategy or does progress seem harder to win than you expected?  

When your strategic intention is to become an agile and responsive business that’s a great place to work, delivering great customer service and impressive best in class financial performance through a motivated and engaged workforce, it can be frustrating to find that attaining such high performance seems to continuously require firefighting and extreme measures.

Whatever your vision, the reality is that a great strategy is only as good as the plan to execute it.

Bringing the two dimensions of the business – strategy and execution – into alignment is the only way to deliver your vision for sustainable success and growth. 

All too often, there is a disconnect between the two.  Local goals, which should have been derived from the strategy, seem instead to create tensions between teams and functions. Operational capability doesn’t align with product plans and sales.  Adding new products and options actually reduces profitability.  HR policies seem divorced from the reality of everyday life.  The list goes on.

Even high level goals can seem in conflict.  Recent research highlights six performance challenges: enabling profitable growth, improving customer service, releasing cash; increasing resilience, optimising operational effectiveness and reducing operating costs.

At times it can seem as though gains can only be made in one of these areas at a time, or even that improvements in one lead to weakened performance in another.

What if you could have all of these at the same time?

The good news is you can.  It’s what we call ‘high performance with ease’ – a holistic ‘people first’ approach that delivers high customer value with minimum effort and no extraordinary cost.

‘High performance with ease’ is an approach that your teams can learn so well it becomes part of your organisational DNA – not a ‘destination’, more a ‘state of being’ where:

  • execution doesn’t fight strategy – there is a match between intent and capability

  • you have great balance between functions – goals and capabilities are aligned

  • exceptional performance is delivered consistently as a matter of routine

  • there is a genuine and widespread culture of continuous improvement

There’s only one way to achieve this transformation

Over 40 years’ experience have taught us that the way to achieve this high performing state is to take a joined–up ‘whole system’ approach.  Only by doing so can you be sure your strategy can be executed profitably, consistently and without heroic efforts.

  • Over 40 years’ experience have taught us that the way to achieve this high performing state is to take a joined–up ‘whole system’ approach.  Only by doing so can you be sure your strategy can be executed profitably, consistently and without heroic efforts.

    For example, there’s no point working on Operational Excellence if you’re not winning the level of orders to fill the extra capability and capacity that will give you, or developing great new products that require unprofitable investment in new manufacturing capability.

    Everything must be brought into alignment and practised consistently.

“Many good companies have respect for individuals, and practice Kaizen and other TPS (Toyota Production System) tools.  But what is important is having all of the elements together as a system.  It must be practiced every day in a very consistent manner”

Fujio Cho, former President, Toyota

Based on its founder’s unique, broad–based career in industry and 20+ years’ experience as a consultant, Veracity specialises in a ‘whole system’ approach to organisational performance, with a specific focus on the core, inter–related disciplines of New Product/Service Introduction and Operational Excellence.

  • A ‘joined–up’ system ensures you achieve great strategy execution, transforming your vision into reality.  Your team will learn to anticipate and respond more effectively to changes in the business environment in ways that don't deviate from your strategy.  You will see the following benefits:

    • A workforce engaged and equipped to deliver sustained high performance, who feel better versions of themselves and even more appreciated for the extra value they contribute

    • The right customer service strategy for your business, executed profitably

    • Real double digit margin and profit increases through reductions in material and labour cost

    • Improved cash flow through reduced lead times and optimised inventory profiles

    • Increased competitiveness and improved customer satisfaction, delivering a stronger value proposition that gives potential for volume growth or price increases

    • Ongoing gains in margin, service level and quality that compound through the whole system by embedding continuous improvement as part of daily life

    All of which delivers an organisation that is more responsive to market conditions at reduced cost, leaving you more competitive in an increasingly dynamic business environment.

  • Having applied this approach  for over 30 years in shop floor and office environments, in product and service businesses and sectors from manufacturing to healthcare, we have demonstrated that the principles of ‘high performance with ease’ can be applied effectively to any organisation.

  • ‘High performance with ease’ doesn’t come as an ‘off the shelf’ package.  Rather, based on well–proven foundations, it is a programme of development tailored you your organisations, comprising a blend of consultancy, training, mentoring and coaching. 

    We bring the valuable external perspective that it’s almost impossible to achieve when you’re occupied with execution – as someone once said “it’s hard to read the label when you’re inside the jar!” 

    We take the role of guide, working with you to help you develop the knowledge and skill, processes, systems and culture necessary to achieve ‘high performance with ease’ in a way that fits your organisation.

    It all starts with a free, no obligation conversation to explore your current business situation and identify specific ways in which we might help.

  • While our approach delivers a state where high performance is achieved with ease, getting to that state requires the commitment of everyone in the organisation from the CEO down.  They need to learn to work collaboratively towards shared goals, to be curious and open to learning and improvement.

    Senior leaders in particular have to invest the time and energy needed to change the ‘DNA’ of the organisation – we’ve seen many attempts fall short because they’ve thought this transformation effort can be delegated and that they don’t need to change.

    The senior leadership team is the most influential group in the organisation, whether that influence is consciously chosen or there by default.  Others adopt or are influenced by the attitudes and behaviours they see modelled, so thinking and acting in the right way is essential to achieve the desired transformation.

  • Our experience tells us that a ‘whole system’ approach is the only way for an organisation to live up to its ambitions and bring its vision to life.  It ensures strategy can be executed profitably, every time and with ease.Description text goes here
