Solving The Paradox Of Lean Management’s Low Success Rate
Lean improvement programs have a notoriously low success rate. Yet this peer-reviewed University of Melbourne study of 268 projects across 17 industries found a different result. Using the 3P methodology of People, Process and Participation, 73.9% of projects implemented their
Noise conservatively costs around $25,000 per employee every year in wasted effort. Yet broad cost cutting and rushed AI investment often weaken the organisations they’re meant to protect. This white paper sets out a four-step framework to remove Noise first,
Submission To The Australian Government’s Economic Reform Roundtable
Australia’s productivity has stalled and traditional policy levers are no longer enough. This submission shows how removing operational Noise with the XeP3 software platform can deliver measurable gains in government and business, backed by peer-reviewed research across 268 projects.
Drawing on research across 117 organisations, the book, Implementing Strategic Change, shows how everyday chasing, follow-ups and approvals quietly drain capacity and how leaders can turn that into measurable improvement.
Multi-Process Optimisation Within Large Organisations
Most improvement programs narrow their focus too early, so changes stay local and don’t last. Tom Bevington explains how XeP3 traces the hidden work-arounds behind 36.1% of staff time back to their source, optimising an entire organisation one process at
Speed & Capacity In Major Infrastructure Procurement
A government agency used the XeP3 tool to discover that more than a quarter of its procurement effort was Noise, driven by back-and-forth between teams, manual tools and rework.
In this Fast Five with the Committee for Melbourne, Bevington Partners CEO Diana Bevington explains what XeP3 is, how it helps organisations measure and remove Noise and why so many improvement projects fail.
Productivity: The Untapped Capacity Most Organisations Overlook
Australia’s productivity problem isn’t only about policy. Much of it sits inside organisations, in the Noise that absorbs around a third of staff time. Drawing on University of Melbourne research across 268 projects, this article shows how leaders can remove
