Operational Performance Transformation
  • Who are we?

    Stratocube is a specialist operational performance consultancy led by FranksSusini, a director-level practitioner with more than 25 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, production, industrial and financial services, defence, and regulated environments.

    Stratocube works with CEOs, CFOs, COOs, Operations Directors, or Operations Managers who are dealing with operational underperformance - unstable flows, delays, quality losses, bottlenecks, or the frustrating gap between what the strategy says and what the operation delivers.

    Using Lean and Six Sigma as our primary methods, we diagnose root causes, design practical improvements, implement them alongside your team, and build the governance for your teams that makes results stick.

Why Stratocube?

Operational performance problems do not usually announce themselves cleanly. They show up as unexplained margin erosion, recurring firefighting, delivery promises that slip, quality issues that keep coming back, and management time consumed by problems that should not exist.

 

Stratocube is structured for exactly these situations. We bring an engineer's analytical discipline, an executive's commercial lens, and a Lean Six Sigma practitioner's commitment to implementation and sustainability - not just diagnosis.

Our working principles

1. Evidence before opinion. We measure first, then decide. Opinion is not a substitute for data.

2. Method follows problem. We use the simplest method that will work: Lean to stabilise and simplify, Six Sigma where variation and measurement demand it.

3. Built for your people. We design solutions your team can own and run without us - not solutions that require our continued presence to function.

4. Capability transfer, not dependency. We leave every engagement with your team more capable than when we arrived. That is a non-negotiable commitment.

What it's like to work with Stratocube

You will not receive a thick report and a handshake. We get involved in the detail of your operation - on the floor, with your teams, in the data, in the management conversations - until the root cause is clear and the improvement is real.

 

We challenge respectfully, align stakeholders, and move at a pace that matches your operational reality. The goal is always a measurable result your team can sustain - not a dependency on external consultants.
