Wholeness as well as Leanness  Going beyond Lean, 6-Sigma and ToC to achieve whole systems levels of transformations in factory performance, achieving simultaneously step-changes in peoples’ sense of purpose, manufacturing system performance and motivational culture. Avoid a merely tool-based approach to Lean that will neither energise staff or make the hoped-for step-change in competitiveness. Design the right mix of changes appropriate for your industry with its unique products, processes and rhythms.
International Manufacturing Networks How can we design global manufacturing networks as integrated whole systems so that they retain simplicity and responsiveness whilst operating economically? How can we organise it so that regional and site teams have clear units of work to perform, with minimal overlap between themselves and other teams? How do we design it so that the right work is done at the right organisational level? How can we get distant sites motivated and empowered again?
Healthy Work for Whole People Are you maximising the use of your organisation’s most important asset? Address the root cause of dysfunctional workplaces and un-whole jobs that leave staff frustrated and can even reduce employees’ life expectancy. Avoid relying on classic HR programs that just alleviate the symptoms of poor organisation and job design. Rather make a real, lasting difference and get at the root causes.
Tricordant Supply Chains How can we design complex supply chains as integrated whole systems so that they can still retain simplicity and run as smoothly as possible? How can we organise supply chains so that teams have clear whole units of work to perform, with minimal interference and overlap between themselves and other teams? How do we design it so that the right work is done at the right organisational level?

“The Tricordant approach reinforced my convictions on operational cell working, giving me the confidence to see it through and take it further. The learning from the 3-day course particularly convinced me of the correctness of the path we had started to go down, and gave me the analysis tools to confirm the organisational design, in some areas to press for further devolvement and empowerment and to roll out the pilot structures with more speed and certainty across the whole site.”
Mike Woods, Managing Director, Memory Lane Cakes Ltd.
"Objective, flexible approach. Well defined tools and techniques. Tools simple to use. Makes sense. ‘Does what it says on the tin."
