Multi-Site Standardisation

One process, or eleven?

You have grown by acquisition, or opened sites one at a time, and every plant now runs its own version of the same process. Group reporting no longer reconciles. An audit is coming. Nobody has the eighteen weeks it would take to map what each site actually does.

How we harmonise

MAP BEFORE YOU STANDARDISE

Everyone knows the sites differ. Almost nobody can say where, and a blueprint written without that evidence gets ignored at the second site.

OWNERS, KPIS AND A REVIEW DATE

One way to work means all three. Without them it is a slide, and slides do not survive the next reorganisation.

WE DO NOT RUN THE ROLLOUT

We build the blueprint, the playbook and the governance, we pilot it, and then your PMO owns it.

Eight to ten weeks

Where the weeks actually go

Bar widths are to scale. Half the sprint is spent inside your sites.

Weeks 1–2
Weeks 3–7
Weeks 8–10

Scope

Agree which process, which sites, and what one way of working actually has to cover.

Process and sites agreed

Map

Site interviews and walkthroughs to find where the versions really diverge, not where people believe they do.

Interviews and walkthroughs at every site

Hand over

The blueprint, the playbook, named owners, KPIs and a review date. Piloted at one site before we leave.

Blueprint handed over, yours to run

Two hours of your team’s time a week. No workshop marathon.

Questions we have answered

01

Which of our sites is actually running this process the best way?

02

Why does group reporting stop reconciling when every site says it follows the standard?

03

What would an audit find at our weakest site?

04

Which differences between sites are real constraints, and which are just habit?

05

Who owns this process after the project team disbands?

06

What happens to the blueprint at the second site?

Where multi-site standardisation actually stalls

A three part argument built from three separate standardisation mandates. Part one is a map nobody had. Part two is a bill nobody had added up. Part three is variation that is not in your process at all. Every figure traces to a published case, and each piece says plainly what it could not settle.

Proof

What standardisation sprints have returned

€5m
Cost impact identified

A €10B global pulp and paper company with quality workflows written differently at every mill. 3 countries analysed, 30+ interviews. Annual losses identified across four mills.

311
Tasks categorised and standardised

A €11B global forest and paper company with no single view of who does what. A transparent service catalogue built from 300+ services, 10% of it identified as outsourcing potential.

35%
Faster issue resolution and handoffs

A €1B Nordic food company running the same supply chain process nine ways. A 4-level process map and 18 interviews, with defined roles and KPIs behind the improvement.

15%
Fleet efficiency uplift potential

A €1.5B logistics company standardising maintenance and control across terminals. 30+ stakeholder interviews. Concrete levers identified, not yet banked.

20%
Higher idea-to-execution conversion

A €3B global chemical company with continuous improvement run differently in every country. 40+ interviews across 16 countries, and one standardised funnel behind the tracking.

10%
Overlapping audit programmes identified

A €19B global energy company auditing the same things twice. 20+ internal interviews. Redundant activity identified for merging or elimination.

Hear from Our Customers

Bring us the process that eleven sites do eleven ways.

If nobody in the room can say where the sites actually differ, that is the sprint. Eight to ten weeks, one senior analyst and two juniors, and the blueprint, the playbook and the governance are yours at the end.
