Organisational & People foundations to start and strengthen the implementation of your operational (digital) excellence program! - Case Procter & Gamble
In this presentation, Marc Winkelman from Procter & Gamble (P&G) delves into the crucial organizational and people foundations necessary for successful operational excellence and digital transformation initiatives. While research indicates that approximately 70% of digital transformations fail due to unprepared organizational and people frameworks, P&G has consistently achieved success in their transformation projects. The presentation aims to answer the question, "What does P&G do differently?"
P&G's Operational Excellence (OPEX) program, known as IWS, serves as the foundation for building leadership and operator capabilities to drive continuous loss elimination, capability building, and engagement. These factors are essential in transforming an organization. A practical framework outlining the specific actions that leaders must take to cultivate the necessary capabilities is shared with the attendees.
Furthermore, the presentation addresses the process of decision-making for digital systems and the journey towards becoming a smart factory. P&G's exemplary operational excellence capability has facilitated improvements in employee engagement and digitalization, resulting in year-on-year cost savings, inventory reduction, service enhancements, productivity gains, and increased employee satisfaction.
