Services

Notic works with industrial businesses when operations no longer perform as required and the business needs more than internal follow-up to move forward.

These situations arise when cost structures no longer match competitive reality, the production footprint is under pressure, performance is deteriorating, or the required decisions are known but remain unimplemented.

The work is structured around three types of engagements, depending on what the situation requires.

Situational Assessment

A structured entry into the situation.

The purpose of the Assessment is to establish a clear and grounded view of what the business requires and what decisions must be taken.

The work focuses on the areas that determine performance, including cost structure, operations, organisation and execution capability. It results in a decision-oriented view of the business, with clear priorities and a defined direction.

The Assessment is used when the situation is unclear or when leadership needs a firm basis for action.

Interim Execution

Direct responsibility for driving change.

Interim Execution, Notic steps into the business to carry out the required changes. This can include operational leadership, restructuring of cost and organisation, and implementation of decisions across functions and sites.

The role is to move the business from decision to execution and ensure that actions are carried through until the operation reaches a stable and executable operating structure.

This is used when the business requires immediate execution capacity and cannot rely on existing structure alone.

Executive Mentoring

Structured execution through the existing management team.

Notic works directly with leaders to drive change, through the existing organisation. The work is conducted through a recurring cadence, typically one day per week or every second week.

Priorities are set, actions are followed up, and progress is reported to owners and leadership. The focus is on maintaining pace, ensuring accountability and making sure that decisions are implemented.

Mentoring is used when the organisation has the capacity to execute, but requires structure, pressure and external direction to ensure rapid execution.

Choosing the right approach

The three engagements address the same type of situation with different levels of involvement.

Assessment establishes what must be done
Interim Execution ensures that it gets done directly, a disruptive approach.
Executive Coaching ensures that it gets done through the organisation, an incremental approach.

In situations where the required direction is already clear, the work begin directly with Interim Execution or Executive Coaching. The objective is the same: to define what the situation requires, implement decisions to bring the business to a stable structure.
