Our customer’s success is our success. We are successful if the tools and programs we build help the individuals and enterprises become future ready and achieve success.
We are practical in our approach to design our products and business model. Our products are designed basis a practical experience in six sigma, strategy development, operation problem solving, application of digital technologies and change management. Our network business model is designed on the Metcalfe’s law for telecommunications networks, where the value of the network is proportional to the square of the connected users of the network system.
We are vision led in defining a technology enabled future. We do not predict the future, but we use scenario building to identify the possible future scenarios created by application of digital technologies. We use that in our product design and network business model.
We are passionate about what we do – designing the future ready industrial and manufacturing enterprise. We are tool builders, we love to design innovative new ways of working, problem solving and making money. We do not shy away from experimentation and are not afraid of failures.
We are ethical in our business practices. Intellectual property is core to our business model. We do not plagiarize other work; we give credit and seek approval before we use other intellectual property. We will not undertake any activity that is in contravention to the regulations, copyright laws, trademarks, human rights, animal rights and environment.
We are boundaryless from day one of our incorporation. We collaborate extensively using digital technologies. We collaborate with our customers, network partners and vendors.
We will always work to gain trust of our customers, network partners, vendors and employees.

The problem we solve

Designing the future ready industrial and manufacturing enterprise requires time and budgets from executives, project teams, vendors etc. We solve the problem of time and budget availability. Time is money for our customers. We help our customers monetize their time i.e., improve their delivered impact per unit of time spent. We design tools and assessments that help our customers work smarter to create impact and gain budget commitments from decision makers.

Strategic, focus on strategic problems or opportunities – customers, suppliers, processes, production lines, assets, tools, and functions – for improvement.
Measurable, quantify the indicators – OEE, utilization, customer satisfaction, safety etc. – to measure progress towards end goal.
Achievable, transition action plans to implementation – from design to pilots and expansion.
Resourced, executive sponsorship and commitment for funds and teams.
Time bound, specify the time to results – for pilots and expansion.
Evaluated, by a governance board or C-level for performance against defined indicators.
Recognized, by the company, customers and suppliers for the impact delivered.

The problem statement today is that lack of a smarter approach leads to a low success rate of future ready initiatives in the manufacturing and industrial enterprises. There are five reasons for low success rate –

There is a practical difficulty of committing time of executives, stakeholders and resources to future ready initiatives while balancing priorities of a running operation.
Quite often, the capabilities (all or some) for future ready initiatives are not available in a company. The companies spend time in procuring and assembling resources with inter-disciplinary skills and capabilities of strategic thinking, problem solving, application of advanced technologies, solution designing, financial modelling, change management etc.
For many projects, there is no clear business case. Often, the budgets have not been defined for future ready initiatives. Preparing a business case requires time.
Companies initiate pilots in small pockets without having a big picture view and an estimated 70% – 80% pilots either are dropped or are stuck for a period exceeding 12 months.
The process to prepare a roadmap and an action plan can be a minimum 12–16-week exercise and CEOs/ decision makers expect the project teams to accelerate the design phase and launch solutions.

We design tools and assessments that help our customers accelerate time, work smarter and deliver impact.

How we work

Our core business is to build the tools for those who work on future ready industrial and manufacturing enterprise.
For this we have the tool-builders lab, a virtual platform where the domain experts can collaborate to design innovative tools and assessments.
We leverage the power of low code software development to accelerate our product development cycle and time to market.
We believe in power of many versus one, the power of virtual platforms versus being physically present at customer locations, hence we are building a collaborative network of virtual advisors globally. The members within the network can use the tools, assessments and swarm to work with the senior executives in designing roadmaps and transformative solutions.
