    The company

    Our client owns and operates one of the world's most versatile fleets, focused on deepwater and harsh-environment drilling, employing approximately 13,000 people worldwide and trading on the New York Stock Exchange and SIX Swiss Exchange.

    The problem

    Fast growth through acquisition meant the shipyards were not operating efficiently. Downtime was too high, costs were spiralling and customers were dissatisfied. The new VP of Major Capital Projects wanted to shift mindset and behaviour across the area's key leaders, creating deeper alignment to mission-critical priorities.

    The requirement

    What the client needed.

    Improve how major capital projects were managed. Poor customer experience was hurting profitability, and growth through acquisition meant multiple cultures needed merging into one clear way of operating.

    01

    Target

    Reduce the time taken to deliver capital projects.

    02

    Develop

    Enable the team to own the process and the part they played, self-reflect and make informed choices.

    03

    Customer centricity

    Deliver projects effectively and efficiently for a better customer experience.

    The challenge

    Fully understanding the customer experience in order to take the required action.

    The solution

    What we actually did.

    We co-designed the solution with the VP, starting by interviewing customers directly to hear first-hand how they felt.
    Using that insight we designed and facilitated a three-day off-site where customers and the team sat together, so the team could hear the feedback face-to-face and respond professionally.
    We worked at the mindset level so leaders took full personal responsibility for the part they played, then gave them Lean Six Sigma tools and data to deliver capital projects on time and to budget.

    A platform + a team of experts.
