The key measure of any organization's performance is certainly its financial performance.

At PII, we believe that financial performance naturally improves if these interdependent elements are at their best:

People
Values
Systems
 
We believe that your people are critical to success: production employees, first-line supervisors, middle managers, upper management, engineers, administrative support personnel, salespeople...everyone. Unless you hold the proprietary rights to some process or product, you probably have the same equipment, similar facilities, sometimes even similar products as your competitors. Your people must make the difference.
 
Your people work within an organization that has values that either enhance opportunities or create constraints. Are your organization's values articulated? Are they understood and shared by all? Your own people can answer these questions and help shape a shared direction for the entire organization.
 
Your organization's systems produce results for both internal and external customers. It takes people to run those systems, and values to create standards of performance. To improve these systems, the people who run them must have the tools to truly understand and analyze them.
 
 
 

PII will assist in improving your organization's performance from a holistic, value-driven approach:

holistic: successful organizational improvement requires analysis of the whole environment in which it operates-piecemeal problem-solving will not create long-term solutions
value-driven: an organization's values are a critical overlay to everything that goes on within it-these values must be articulated clearly, shared by everyone, and be used for measuring success
We have successfully developed and refined tools which will get your people involved in making your organization more effective, improving your systems, and helping each other learn and grow.
 
Our goal is to provide your organization with the tools for ongoing renewal. We work with teams of your people, provide them the opportunities and means to see the importance of their contributions, and train your organization to implement your own performance improvement plan.
 
That's what "Improving Performance Together" means to us: securing the participation of your people in decision-making, leading to their commitment to lasting continuous improvement.
 
 
 
We would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate our methods and results by building support for the improvement process from the ground up.
 
We offer a highly practical Systems Approach as a foundation for organizational analysis and problem-solving. This Systems Approach can be applied to complex, capital-intensive production systems as well as the administrative functions of a staff-support department.
 
A pilot demonstration project will show the value of our Systems Approach as a focus for analysis, and its applicability to systems across your organization.
 

We have found that the following kinds of efforts can produce practical results which can be built on successfully:

training documentation
response to the Process Safety Management standard
project-focused employee participation
administrative systems analysis
continuous improvement task forces
capital project pre-commissioning and start-up planning
organization / operations / maintenance / training / engineering assessments
focused improvement projects
existing work group teambuilding
team development
 
We can work with you on a small project to meet your immediate needs, or a large project which is part of a comprehensive improvement program. We are prepared to meet with you at your convenience and further explain our approach to:
