About the Opportunity
Performance & Operational Excellence is a diverse and capable group of management orientated consultants from a range of professional backgrounds. We have a focus on adopting best practice ways of working and driving continuous improvement wherever we work. We often support other lines of business, typically as part of larger project teams. Our work direct to clients continues to grow and we often work alongside our Strategic Consulting colleagues and external partners as blended, agile teams.
We enable the realisation of more efficient and reliable delivery, unlocking innovation potential and making continuous improvement a reality. Our core capabilities have grown from lean fundamentals and application of production thinking. We have expanded our capabilities to include customer-led solutions, agile ways of working, lean start-up and high performing team development.
Performance & Operational Excellence offer the opportunity of variety as we support clients across P&PS and CMS lines of business. The breadth of opportunities suits those who have the curiosity to experience new environments and capability to quickly adapt. The deliberate agile construct of Strategic Consulting gives you the opportunity to exercise your wider capabilities and areas of interest. Our wider consultancy capabilities include asset management advisory, transactions and commercial advisory, business case & economics, transformation management, organisational design and data analytics.
You will enjoy success in delivery with a proactive approach to identifying opportunities for improvement. An interest in best practice ways of working and the ability to impress these on others is critical. You must be comfortable working in diverse and potentially challenging team environments where you will often be expected to facilitate collaboration and pursuit of performance improvement. We support from technical delivery through to senior management suites and you will need to be comfortable engaging with a range of stakeholders. We drive a digital by default approach; technical capability in data management and analytics is beneficial.
