Senior leaders are often aware of only 4% of the frontline problems destroying value.
‍
The other 96%, the friction, the workarounds, the cultural disconnects, are hidden below the waterline.

These invisible stressors are what keep you in the Turbulence Zone, fighting fires instead of maximising production.
‍
This assessment differentiates the signal from the noise to measure the leading indicators of performance: your true Operational Capability.

These are the inputs that determine whether your goals and production targets will be hit, or missed.

‍The 5 Fundamentals of Operational Performance:
1. A Compelling Why: Are your operations and strategy aligned?
2. Empowering Leadership: Do you have a system of trust?
3. Commitment Culture: Is your team compliant or committed?
4. Enabling Tech: Is technology creating leverage or friction?
5. Lean Processes: Are you too busy being busy?

Weakness in any area will compromise execution.

‍Use this assessment to find out what is holding your site back.

Receive your confidential Capability Score placing you in one of the five maturity zones:

Zone 1 Innocence: This is where most mines start as juniors.

Zones 2-3 Understanding & Awareness: High friction, chaotic, dependent on heroics. Most mines are here.

Zone 4: Capable: Processes are stable, targets are hit reliably. The site generates Operational Alpha, outperforming peers independent of market conditions.

Zone 5 Excellence: A great, aspirational target, but overkill for most sites.

When it comes to achieving strategic goals, your Capability only tells half of the story.

To understand your true risk, we must compare what you can do (Capability) against what you are trying to do (Strategic Ambition)

The Performance Quadrants map the gap between your boardroom goals and your frontline reality. It's an intuitive visualisation of your expectations as an investor or operation.

It answers the question, “do we have a gap between expectations and reality?”

Ideally, your site scores in the Outperformance quadrant. If it doesn't, are the necessary steps being taken to bridge the gap?

The wider the gap between your ambition and your capability, the greater your Execution Risk.
