Value Capture Leadership Model

Background

The Value Capture leadership model provides a framework for leaders seeking to transform their organizations to simultaneously produce unprecedented results in:

• Safety/Quality
• Cost
• Lead Time

Building on the foundation of leadership, from the bottom up, each element sequentially develops the organization's capacity for rapid improvement.

Results

Using this model, leaders and their organizations simultaneously strive for results in three key areas, without tradeoffs between safety/quality, lead time, and cost. Working together, we can strive for "habitual excellence" and the "theoretical limits of performance" in all measures simultaneously.

Value to the Customer

Goods and services that are safer, higher quality, lower cost, more customized, and more immediately available.

Value to the Employee

Safety, productivity growth, skill development, and increased job satisfaction.

Value to the Enterprise

Lower cost, increased volume, higher profit, greater employee retention.
