The Performance Culture™
Performance Culture is the organizing principle to effect maximum sustainable performance throughout the organization.
Operational Readiness
The ORPC Model ensures that all elements of Operational Readiness are addressed during the ORPC Planning Phase including the design of a Performance Culture for the Operations Phase
Peak Performance Workshops
Course topics center on the behaviors and practices that make sustainable change possible, as well as the aspects of equipment and production reliability that are required in a Performance Culture.
Our work starts with people and ends with people.
Our internationally respected subject matter experts comprise a highly specialized team you won’t find anywhere else. We have the tools and a one-of-a-kind proven, proprietary framework to provide a structured approach flexible enough to meet the specific needs and goals of the business.
SAMI’s engagement methodology is a phased approach for identifying and addressing performance gaps and results in consistent alignment for attaining organizational transformation. Our signature APEX™ tool measures individual and functional behaviors, finds precise locations of barriers to sustainability, and provides evidence of organizational cultural maturity. Perhaps most notable is our Performance Culture Pyramid. This globally recognized model is used to evaluate, transform and sustain a company’s organizational culture.
Throughout the process, we change the hearts and minds of the people we work with, and the outcome is always the same: sustainable cultural transformation leading to higher economic performance. We guarantee it.
Our Process
Where We Start
Typically we find that organizations exist in a reactive state where business processes and behaviors are unaligned. Daily activities are primarily emergent with priorities set hourly depending on production requirements and the condition of the assets. We begin the process of implementing a Performance Culture by assessing the current state of organizational performance against the four Performance Culture domains and functional best practices.
What We Do
Our Performance Culture experts then begin the process of implementing by aligning functional processes and employee behaviors. Through the utilization of our Ascend™ Method, Pyramid Model and APEX tool we implement permanent sustainable changes that will improve overall asset performance and transform the organization.
The Result
The end result is a fully implemented Performance Culture. Behaviors and functional processes that drive elevated production volumes, efficiency, and continuous improvement becomes part of the organizational culture, all resulting in an excellent return on investment. Only SAMI combines a proven, proprietary framework with a highly specialized team of subject matter experts to guarantee a sustainable cultural transformation and higher economic performance.
