Coaching-Centric Operational Excellence Consulting for Operating Executives

Organizations with complex manufacturing operations are underperforming because execution has drifted faster than operating system can correct it.  When that happens, you need the enterprise execution system.  CEO’s and COO’s call me when:

  • Multi-site operations are technically capable but operationally inconsistent
  • KPIs exist, but accountability doesn’t
  • Lean is in place, but results don’t stick
  • Leaders are busy, but nothing is truly owned
  • Performance erosion is quietly happening – quickly becoming visible and expensive

 Enterprise Execution System

Operational Excellence is a culture and a destination.

“Audie, in a very short amount of time, embedded himself within our organization as a trusted insider and not simply an advisor.  He is strategic yet tactical and has a unique ability to connect equally well at all levels in an organization – from board room to boiler room.  He never dilutes his message, never “dumbs it down”, just alters the presentation for the audience. Moreover, he is just a pleasure to be around, and this gives him the ability to push his clients hard, and they love him for doing so.”  Karl Watson, Jr. CEO

Enterprise Execution System

Operational excellence is more than just process improvement.

“What stuck out about Audie’s approach was his ability to reach across several lines of business at the same time, and help us create specific, strategic improvements in addition to building in accountability. He taught us to think about execution in a different way, that it’s not just about shaving seconds/minutes off of our processes. He taught us about how leadership fits into performance improvement, and how we must challenge ourselves as managers/leaders. I noticed quickly that Audie connects with all levels of the organization.  Audie’s wide breadth of experience and knowledge are a huge asset.”   Bryan Kalbfleisch CEO

“Upon working with Audie, I immediately experienced a new perspective on Operational Excellence. The concepts I never thought were applicable in the construction materials industry delivered great business results. Audie helped to reshape my thinking and approach to problem solving and leadership inside of the lean framework.  One of the most rewarding parts of our professional relationship is Audie’s ability to listen to my challenges and make the appropriate adjustments to fit for our company culture.  Simply put, I call this Audie’s rigid flexibility in providing solutions.  Not only has he been a tremendous asset to our organization on continuous improvement initiatives, but he has also become a trusted adviser.”  Brett Baker President
