Wabtec | Manufacturing

Strategy execution | USA

Key challenge: Wasted time and error prone manual process

Automating our manually-intensive process has led to productivity gains

“i-nexus replaced our spreadsheet patchwork with a single solution that automated our process. Automating our manually-intensive process has led to productivity gains and the ability for the team to think strategically.”

Mahesh Shankar
Director Strategy, Wabtec Corporation

Food Production Company

Strategy execution + Hoshin Kanri | Europe

Key challenge: Connecting matrixed organization to strategy

The x-matrix helped us consolidate, prioritise and align our objectives at each level of the business as part of our Hoshin Kanri deployment

“In our large, complex, and heavily matrixed organization, we have many strategies from functions, regions, and businesses. It is often difficult to communicate and coordinate actions to meet all of these objectives, given these different inputs and players. The x-matrix helped us consolidate, prioritize and align our objectives at each business level as part of our Hoshin Kanri deployment.”

Executive Sponsor

Consumer Packaging Company

Strategy execution + Balanced Scorecard | Europe

Key challenge: Successfully deploying a strategy that could align everyone in the organization

i-nexus brought everyone together to surface strategic issues and drive delivery towards our goals, helping us to achieve our CEO's 15.5% return on capital employed target

"Before i-nexus we were siloed, with little consensus on how we work, defining our goals, and how we'll hit them. With little accountability and poor collaboration, we needed to enable the right management behavior. The balanced scorecard and strategic themes i-nexus offer brought everyone together to surface strategic issues and drive delivery towards our goals, helping us achieve our 15.5% return on capital employed target."

Group Director of Strategy Management

Life Sciences Company

Strategy execution | USA

Key challenge: No common platform to share best practices

i-nexus showed a genuine understanding of the project, and I truly appreciate the work they’ve done with our transformation portfolio

"Before i-nexus, there was no link between strategy and our performance improvement initiative, which meant senior managers could not identify which projects were driving strategy execution. Today, we use i-nexus across the business to track performance, forecast financial and non-financial benefits, and link these to our strategic goals."

Head of Supply Chain Management

Building and Construction Company

Strategy execution | Europe

Key challenge: Tracking benefits from M&A and eliminating manual reporting processes

i-nexus helped us to get a firm grip on the control and visibility of our synergy initiatives and saving

"We introduced i-nexus to track and validate benefits from 200+ synergy projects following an acquisition. Before i-nexus, we reported manually, with dipping engagement and limited accountability, and we could not manage by exception. i-nexus helped us to get a firm grip on the control and visibility of our synergy initiatives and savings. We now have far better governance in place to manage our current acquisition and future ones."

Lead, Integration Management Office

Aerospace and Defense Company

Strategy execution + Hoshin Kanri | USA

Key challenge: Traceability of business unit portfolios to strategic goals

Goals are now effectively cascaded through the business with metrics feeding a complete view of performance

"Prior to i-nexus, our Hoshin Kanri method struggled due to no effective way to cascade our goals to business units. With i-nexus, we are now able to effectively cascade our goals and show how business units are supporting our goals. i-nexus are excellent to work with, and your responsiveness is something others should hope to one day achieve."
