Vocum — focus on improvement

About

We optimize your existing operations. We don't make investment recommendations.

Who we are

Vocum has been one of Europe's leading productivity specialists since 2003. We help companies achieve measurable results — not with theoretical recommendations, but by actually implementing the change.

That's why we spend 20% of our time determining what needs to change, and 80% making it happen together. We only change what isn't working and what is worthwhile in terms of results.

We work from the bottom up, on the floor

Improvement starts with understanding what really happens on the floor. Already during the analysis we observe day-to-day operations and listen to the people who do the work — so we see what causes avoidable losses. Our solutions take shape together with the people on the floor and fit their reality — which is why they open up to change.

During the project we spend most of our time on the floor, coaching first-line leaders towards productivity, safety and quality. Because we work at all levels with no agenda other than improving things, we unblock problems that have been simmering for a long time. Most people want to do a good job; it is the barriers beyond their control that hold them back.

Results by empowering people

We openly transfer our knowledge to your people, so they keep delivering lasting results themselves.

Our core values

Improvements that last beyond our departure

We lift your existing management to a higher level, so they continue the improvements once we are gone. We don't pretend to be technical experts in your business — what we provide is a proven process to identify opportunities and make change happen. We make recommendations too, but they only deliver when your people own them. That is why we invest heavily in buy-in.

Because we spend so much time on the floor, we also recognise the natural leaders in your organisation and coach them on the job towards the right position. This is how improvements stay in place after the project.

The end result of the project was a strong increase in productivity, better cooperation between departments as well as a positive behavioral change among managers and individual employees.
