Getting the Basics Right

Only around 1% of organisations achieve lasting success on their journey from reactive management to proactive industry leading capabilities. Although it may seem counter intuitive, the main difference between the 1% and the rest is their grasp of Reliability and Daily Management Best Practice.

With this insight, they are able to engage their organisation with systematic improvement and avoid the common pitfalls which constrain future progress.

For example as the causes of unplanned stoppages are removed, key performance indicators tracking downtime become less useful. Those that succeed, adapt their performance management metrics and priorities to redirect resources to driving up run time performance. Others fail because they don't recognise the need to do that and after a short period of stability, return to a downward cycle of deteriorating performance. Just like in a game of snakes and ladders, after a year or so, their downward slide means that they are faced with starting the journey again.

That is why DAK Academy has created a series of 2 hour, "live on-line" awareness training sessions setting out the building blocks of success based on the journeys of well known and award winning companies.  Two of these are featured below.
