Executives discuss the impact of operational excellence on business at an international event in São Paulo

Delivering products and services on time, with high quality and low costs is what ten out of ten executives of companies seeking high performance in their operations are striving for. In order to achieve better financial results, companies – national or multinational – have put a lot of effort into making better use of their most valuable resources: people, materials and assets.

And what may seem like a distant dream, or something that requires high investment, is actually not. To discuss how to achieve measurable and tangible results, on June 18 and 19, Staufen Consulting is promoting Best Practice Day 2024, the largest Operational Excellence Conference in Europe, which is back in Brazil, at the Santo Amaro Convention Center in São Paulo.

On this occasion, some of the country’s leading national and multinational companies will present their strategies for increasing efficiency, productivity, improving quality and customer satisfaction. By combining efficient, well-executed processes with well-trained leadership and appropriate technologies, these corporations have achieved significant results, standing out from their competitors in a highly competitive environment.

In the opening speech, Zeina Latif, considered one of the most influential economists in Brazil, gives an overview of the current Brazilian economic scenario and outlines expectations for the next five years, emphasizing how the search for excellence on the part of companies can become a major differentiator for the sustainable development of the economy.

“In such a complex global geopolitical scenario, Brazil seems to be in a more advantageous situation. It’s a country that doesn’t have wars, with institutions that work. Ironically, despite all the internal problems we face, investors tend to look more generously on our country,” Zeina recently revealed in an interview with BM&C News.

One of the most eagerly awaited moments of the event is the presentation by the canadian writer and executive mentor Pascal Dennis, author of best sellers such as “Getting de Right Things Done” and “Harnessing Digital Disruption”.

According to Pascal Dennis, today it is no longer enough just to protect the business, but also to stimulate new growth using digital methodologies. “The world has changed. Operational excellence (also known as ‘Lean production’) and all its methods provide an essential foundation, but they are no longer enough to guarantee competitiveness. To thrive in our challenging new world, you need to develop ambidexterity – the ability to switch gears fluidly between the world of operational excellence and the world of free innovation,” warns the expert.

Data released by the Harvard Business Review shows that better-managed companies are more profitable, grow faster and are less likely to die. According to the research, moving a company from the 10% worst to the 10% best in terms of management practices is associated with 25% faster annual growth and 75% higher productivity. The best-managed companies also spend 10 times more on research and development and increase the number of patents more than tenfold, which suggests that they are not sacrificing innovation for efficiency. They also attract more talented employees and promote greater employee well-being.

For the executive director of Staufen Consulting in Brazil, Dario Spinola, if they really want to implement a transformation, companies need to be clear about the need to acculturate excellence in all their departments, from the shop floor to their executives’ offices. “And this has to be top-down, i.e. top management needs to lead and continuously encourage the whole team so that the culture is established. This makes the results sustainable over time and enables businesses to reach new heights and become increasingly competitive,” concludes the executive director of Staufen, the event’s organizer.

On June 19th, participantscan choose one of the guided tours in three diferent companies: Embraer, in São José dos Campos; Suzano, in Suzano; and MWM Motors, in São Paulo. On each tour, it will be possible to learn in practice how these companies have implemented their operational and digital excellence strategies and the main results they have achieved.

In addition to the tours, the second day of the event also features three more exclusive workshop themes, where participants can deepen the knowledge acquired during the conference.
