The Transformation Shift

Creating meaningful, lasting change

At OPEO, we don’t believe in off-the-shelf solutions.
For us, transformation is about unlocking hidden potential: revealing unspoken expectations, underutilised capabilities, and the cultural dynamics that often go unnoticed.

We are convinced that for technical change to last, it must be anchored in a deeper cultural shift.
Our years of hands-on experience have taught us that true, sustainable change doesn’t just happen through processes or tools, it happens through behaviours. It’s in the way teams collaborate, make decisions, challenge one another, and demonstrate leadership on the ground.

That’s why we’ve developed a distinctive approach that combines operational excellence with human activation, empowering industrial organisations to not only perform better, but to work differently and more sustainably.

Two complementary levers for meaningful transformation:

Movement 1: Change (Technical & Organisational):

We support our clients in addressing their explicit and measurable needs: improving productivity, optimising supply chains, reducing costs, and accelerating time-to-market. To achieve this, we leverage the full range of operational excellence tools, including Lean methodologies, performance management systems, and organisational design.

Movement 2: Transformation (Cultural & Behavioural):

We also address our clients’ implicit expectations — often unspoken, yet essential for embedding lasting change. These include empowering managers, accelerating decision-making, fostering cross-functional collaboration, and strengthening leadership behaviours. We work alongside teams to surface these expectations and help them evolve their ways of working.

A structured yet flexible 5-step approach

Every project follows a five-step pathway, tailored to each client’s specific context:

Scoping; Laying the organisational and logistical foundations for the project.
Diagnosis: Drilling down into technical challenges and uncovering cultural expectations.
Shared vision: Aligning teams around a common, clearly defined transformation plan.
Technical & behavioural implementation: Deploying technical solutions while activating cultural levers in parallel.
Sustainable anchoring of new practices: Embedding new ways of working and reinforcing long-term ownership.

Throughout the project, we work hand in hand with your teams, close to the shop floor. We empower stakeholders and adapt the pace of transformation to your challenges and operational reality, ensuring maximum impact.

Activation: the spark that drives transformation

To spark the positive shock needed for cultural change, we integrate powerful activation techniques:

Direct feedback (real-time observational feedback)
Organisational system modelling
NRA framework (Need – Rule – Aspiration)
Team debriefs based on the ‘Ambidextre Transformateur®” model developed by Alexandre Tissot (Partner at OPEO)
Praditus© behavioural profiling tools

These activation methods empower teams to better understand their own limitations, strengths and collective dynamics, creating the conditions for deep, lasting engagement in the transformation process.

What we reveal along the transformation journey

Successful transformation isn’t just about processes or tools, it’s about people. More specifically, it’s about the human and cultural dynamics that often remain hidden but ultimately shape how organisations change. At OPEO, we help our clients bring these dynamics to light, because they are the key to creating meaningful, lasting change.

In practice, we help uncover:

Deep-rooted cultural patterns that hold back innovation and limit the ability to work differently.
Individual and collective fears that prevent experimentation and slow down decision-making.
Untapped leadership levers essential for driving behavioural change.
Team behaviours that undermine authority, constructive confrontation, and collaboration.

By making these hidden barriers visible, we help organisations build the conditions for deep, sustainable transformation.

Practical transformation case examples

Process industry

On a major French industrial site, we activated middle management to support key industrial and logistics projects, generating €2 million in savings and a 15% improvement in machine performance within the first year.

Electronics

R&D organisational transformation for a global leader: We redesigned strategic processes and empowered platform project managers, helping to rebalance governance and streamline product development, all within less than nine months.

Capital goods industry

In just 10 weeks, we stabilised the logistics of a fast-growing site (+15% annual growth) by rapidly implementing planning and management routines, halting delivery delays and restoring production performance.
