Give us the elevator pitch for your business.
Maintenance backlogs, unreliable operations, inefficiency, rising costs and repeated budget pressure are becoming increasingly common challenges for organisations responsible for maintaining large and complex assets.
Using a proven Work Management Assessment Framework, SRCN helps organisations identify where their work management approach is not performing as it should and where this is creating risk, wasted effort and avoidable cost.
Our subject matter experts work with clients to define practical strategies to address these issues and provide the experience needed to turn findings into meaningful change. Our support ranges from current state work management assessments and backlog reviews through to training, coaching and flexible on demand support.
Because of our experience, adaptability and focused business model, we can work with organisations of any size and provide support wherever it is needed.
Who are your customers?
We help organisations with responsibility for large-scale asset maintenance who are looking to improve operational safety, efficiently and sustainably, while increasing competitive advantage.
Typically, they are responsible for the maintenance of large-scale assets and are experiencing one or more of the following symptoms:
- Their maintenance teams are persistently working overtime
- The volume of their overdue maintenance is increasing
- They are stuck in a pattern of reactive maintenance
- They experience consistently low schedule attainment
- Increased maintenance costs
Sectors we are supporting include, but are not limited to, oil and gas, nuclear, renewables, utilities, and power generation.
What is the biggest challenge and opportunity your organisation is facing right now?
Challenge: Not recognising that improving Work Management is most likely the single most impactful thing they can do for their business. Almost every established company has clever people with great ideas on how to improve or fix current issues. They just can’t get them down. Companies don’t have a knowledge problem, they have an execution problem, but for some reason seem to constantly revert to looking to come up with new ways to decide what to do.
Opportunity: Because organisations so frequently recognise this, the opportunities are massive. I honestly don’t think there is a single company SRCN couldn’t help be safer, more efficient and more profitable. The question is simply whether the benefits are large or massive.
What is your word of advice for fellow Chamber members?
Stop asking “How can we do this?” and instead ask “Who can we get to do this for us?” There are subject matter experts in just about anything, and I see far too many organisations, large and small, do things in-house just because they can or because they find it interesting.
This is a sure-fire way for organisations to pay their own resources to figure out how to do something others could do in half the time to double the standard, simply because that’s all they do. All day, every day.
A well-known quote by Bruce Lee highlights that mastery is achieved through deep, repeated practice rather than superficial familiarity with many techniques: “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”
