// Case Studies
We create a lot of value in organisations. Here are the success stories.
With 20 years of unlocking value and predictability in organisations globally, we’ve had some amazing success stories. Here are just a handful of the projects and outcomes we’re proud of.
Value chain analytics and optimisation for a global mining company
We’ve been working in the mining industry for a long time and in that time, we’ve provided analytics and optimisation services across multiple operations globally. This experience includes designing and implementing process control and advanced process control solutions, as well as using analytics to identify and action improvement opportunities across the entirety of the value chain.
We work with our clients to visualise their value chain constraints and understand where to focus their improvement activities.
The Solution
- We teamed up with a global gold miner, with us taking the project lead and providing subject matter expertise across their value chain. Then, we optimised their program spanning multiple sites globally.
- This program used a range of fit-for-purpose analytic techniques which we coupled with their operational team’s know-how and a fundamental understanding of the metallurgy process to identify and deliver over $50 million in benefits each year.
Management system improvement for a global mining company
We’ve provided our management system improvement services across multiple operations globally. Our clients come to us looking to improve their management system maturity across their operations to improve both safety and productivity outcomes.
Our approach is inherently collaborative. We team up with our clients to design their management systems based on industry leading-practice, identify and prioritise opportunities for improvement, implement and sustain these improvements.
The Solution
- By targeting rigorous compliance to plans and error-proofing the planning process, one of our clients went from being behind the budget to exceeding their production targets by ~2% in six months.
- Compliance to plans increased from below 50% to greater than 80% during the period and has been sustained well since implementation.
Business Maturity Case Study
We’ve been working in the business maturity and organisational growth space for many years and the common inefficiencies have become apparent to us. We set out to provide a solution that would address these issues and provide the foundations to support the business into the future.
Key Issues
- Use of spreadsheets to execute the organisational improvement initiatives.
- Lack of transparency on the effectiveness and results of the initiatives.
- The disconnect between actions required and the work completed.
- The disconnect between the standard, policies and procedures and actual, day-to-day work.
- Difficulty to data-mine the results of maturity assessments completed year on year.
The Solution
- Providing a cloud-based solution that is accessible to all members of the organisation.
- Allowing the assessments to be completed in the application.
- Capturing of actions, evidence and comments.
- Live progress views and reporting that reflects the current state of progress.
- Incorporating the standards, policies and procedures in the application and linking them do the assessments and improvement plans.
- Reporting to compare results over and across many iterations.
- The ability to notify via corporate messaging tools (e.g. MS Teams) or via emails when things change.
The MVP was deployed and used by our first client within six months as a free trial and was actively used across three sites. This client provided positive feedback and has now purchased the product for continued use.
The business maturity methodology
We engaged some of our clients that we had an existing relationship with for the project. Teaming up with them, we confirmed the key issues and gathered requirements on how these key issues could be solved. We evaluated the key needs of our clients and designed a solution that would meet the majority of those clients’ needs. This was done through client profiles, user journey mapping and technology landscape analysis.
