Recent Work

Cultural transformation project at an oil refinery, a subsidiary of British Petroleum.

The refinery leadership recognized the importance of achieving world-class efficiency and initiated the development of a sustainable continuous improvement (CI) culture to accomplish this goal. The initiative had three primary objectives:

  1. involve employees in the performance improvement process;
  2. create a process of collecting and implementing employee proposals for cost-effectiveness,
  3. enhance the refinery’s efficiency.

During phase one of the initiative, we conducted a series of structured brainstorming sessions and formed three working groups to implement the most promising ideas. In phase two, we helped to create a new sub-department within the Commercial department with the goal to develop and deploy a CI system at the refinery. In phase three we facilitated the development of CI processes and a new motivation system, which were documented in a series of standards and guidelines. Finally, during the course of the project hundreds of employees and managers were trained and coached to ensure successful implementation.

The impact of the initiative was significant, with 232 ideas collected and 53 “quick” performance improvement projects implemented.

The initiative resulted in a total economic effect of $260 million over 24 months.

    Igor was one of my key personnel and get-it-done guys. He was typically allocated the most difficult tasks in terms of structuring and execution. Igor worked both in a financial capacity for our firm (company analysis and trading/investment) but also project origination, structuring and execution. Specifically on a complex opportunity in forestry and another in the oil & gas sector. Subsequent to selling the firm and myself and other key employees leaving the company once the acquisition was integrated, I have maintained a constructive and cordial relationship with Igor now for the past 13 years. I would not hesitate to recommend Igor for any situation. Typically I would save him for the most challenging tasks.
