Capabilities
Six capabilities, one method. Each engagement moves through gated DMAIC phases with a quantified target agreed before work begins — and verified results before it ends.
Core Pillars
We measure variation before we touch it. Every intervention is tied to a baseline, a control limit, and a defect definition agreed with your operators, so improvement is proven in the data rather than asserted in a slide.
Instruments
Industries Served
Aerospace, Defense, & Industrial
Using software provided by Optegrity (opens in a new tab) to drive operational excellence, we optimize Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and shop-floor throughput while eliminating operational bottlenecks. By tightening dimensional tolerances and enforcing strict Zero-Defect standards, we ensure mission-critical components hit milestone delivery schedules with regulatory compliance.
We streamline clinical pathways, reduce patient wait times, and eliminate administrative friction across EHR workflows. By optimizing bed turnover rates, staff utilization, and resource allocation, we help health systems increase patient capacity and improve clinical outcomes while driving down overall Cost Per Patient Encounter.
We transform legacy processing models into agile, low-latency workflows—directly lowering your Efficiency Ratio and Cost-to-Serve. By accelerating Straight-Through Processing (STP) rates and claim settlement cycles, we mitigate operational risk and optimize liquidity while maintaining strict BSA/AML compliance.
Portfolio Operations
We partner with operating partners and deal teams to execute 100-day value creation plans. By accelerating margin expansion, driving Working Capital optimization, and building scalable middle-office infrastructure, we compress operational cycle times to maximize exit multiples and gross IRR.
Founder-Led & Small Business
We empower owner-operators and emerging businesses with enterprise-grade operational discipline. By streamlining core workflows, implementing lean technology stacks, and eliminating process friction, we improve Operating Margin, accelerate cash conversion cycles, and build scalable infrastructure—allowing founders to transition from working in the business to driving strategic growth.
We partner with microfinance institutions and mission-driven funders to pair growth capital with elite operational advisory. By acting as hands-on business consultants to borrowers, we streamline their workflows, introduce accessible technology, and build scalable growth roadmaps—ensuring deployed capital turns emerging small enterprises into efficient, high-velocity engines that sustainably lift communities out of poverty.
Federal, State, & Municipal
We help agencies and public institutions modernize legacy processes, compress permitting and case-processing cycles, and raise the standard of service to constituents. By bringing Lean Six Sigma discipline to procurement, grants administration, and back-office operations, we strengthen accountability and transparency while ensuring every public dollar delivers its full measure of value.
Capability Index
Engagements are scoped to the capability the problem demands, not a standard program. Most clients begin with a diagnostic.
A four-to-six week, fixed-scope assessment that quantifies cost of poor quality, maps constraint throughput and sizes the recoverable margin before any program is committed.
Re-engineering of order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, plan-to-produce and service delivery flows, targeting queue time, rework and approval latency.
Design of measurement systems, control charts and response plans so variation is detected at the process, not discovered at the customer.
Operating partner support across the hold period: 100-day plans, carve-out stabilization and a repeatable improvement playbook deployed across portfolio companies.
Activity-based cost modelling and zero-based review of indirect spend and SG&A, linking every dollar to the capability it funds.
Belt certification, leader standard work and a governance cadence that lets your teams sustain and extend results after we step back.
Methodology
No phase begins until the previous gate is passed with evidence. Executives see exactly what has been proven, and what has not, at every checkpoint.
Weeks 1–2
Fix the problem statement, the financial stake and the boundary of the process.
Gate ▸ Signed charter with quantified target
Weeks 2–4
Establish a trusted baseline for performance and variation.
Gate ▸ Validated baseline and sigma level
Weeks 4–6
Prove root cause statistically, not anecdotally.
Gate ▸ Verified root causes ranked by value
Weeks 6–12
Design, pilot and scale the countermeasures.
Gate ▸ Pilot results meet target with significance
Weeks 12+
Lock the gains into the daily operating rhythm.
Gate ▸ Handover to process owners; 90-day audit
