FrenchIMPACT Programme™ is a business transformation programme that can be applied to the whole of your organisation or to a single plant, site or business function.
Every IMPACT Programme™ is unique. Its strength comes from engaging managers at a strategic level and focusing their attention on areas critical to their operation. Our Business Improvement Programme safeguards improvements and ensures a company’s self-sufficiency to continue them.
Cost and Risk
By creating processes that are both reliable and repeatable, safety improves and unexpected events reduce. These gains are leveraged and costs and risks are reduced significantly.
Productivity and Quality

Teams are trained and coached on how to maintain and continue to improve on the standards. Gains are locked-in by the new ways of working and continuous improvement culture and margin, therefore, improves in a sustainable way.
