Operational Effectiveness: Transforming Your Business Through the LOS® Frameworks

At LOS® Global, we help organizations unlock significant business value through operational effectiveness—the strategic integration of Leadership, Operations, and Strategy that drives measurable results and sustainable competitive advantage.

The LOS® Operational Effectiveness Framework

Combining effective strategy alignment within the executive leadership team and out to the operations teams, the effective management of operational systems and processes, and effective leadership of effective teams, will create a company that is positioned to sustainably grow, be agile, and gain the competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The Opportunity Is Massive, But Execution Is Critical

Organizations implementing comprehensive operational effectiveness initiatives achieve 5-15% EBITA improvements and 10-30% cost reductions across core business functions. Recent research shows leading companies generate 45% more cost reduction and 60% more revenue growth than their peers through systematic operational excellence programs.

However, 70% of transformation efforts fail due to cultural resistance, leadership gaps, and execution challenges. Only 22% of companies advance beyond proof-of-concept stage in operational improvements, with just 4% creating substantial value from their initiatives. This is where expert partnership becomes essential.

Organizations Face Predictable Barriers

Cultural resistance accounts for 70% of transformation failures. Only 30% of organizations have committed leadership teams driving change initiatives, while employee resistance and lack of management support create the most significant implementation barriers.

Skills gaps compound these challenges. 80% of executives report critical skills shortages, particularly in digital transformation capabilities, while 45% of companies cite talent gaps as causing measurable productivity losses.

Resource constraints limit execution. Most organizations underestimate resource requirements by 40% on average, while 60% of operational improvement initiatives face time constraints that delay benefits realization.

Proven Results Across Industries

Financial Performance: Organizations achieving operational excellence maturity show 20-30% cost reductions in operations overhead, 5-10% procurement savings, and 10-25% warehousing cost improvements. Healthcare organizations report $73 million in cost savings through systematic performance management.

Productivity Gains: Manufacturing implementations achieve 15-25% capacity improvements within 12 weeks, while financial services organizations report 30-50% processing time reductions. GenAI deployment generates 10-15% workforce productivity boosts, with some companies achieving $50 million in annual time savings.
