Performance improvement through the implementation of lean at a municipal energy supplier

Initial situation

  • A municipal energy and water supply company aimed to drive significant improvements within asset management
  • Previous leadership structures and the rise of remote work had led to uncertainty and a weakened sense of team cohesion
  • The absence of transparent performance metrics to measure output and track progress toward goals
  • High workloads without structured management approaches caused stress within teams
  • The aim was to sustainably increase employee satisfaction while achieving measurable improvements in operational efficiency

Our approach

  • Introduce superordinate key figures (North Star metrics) along the E2E processes
  • Establish visual control and regular communication via team boards and performance dialogs
  • Empowering managers at all levels for sustainable change
  • Identify pilot areas, create initial success stories and generate momentum
