Transforming Logistics Performance Through Cross-Sector Leadership and Operational Excellence
Case Study Overview
As VP of Operational Excellence across a national, time critical logistics network, I was facing growing risk. Inconsistent practices across regions were driving higher damage and loss claims, rising labour costs and declining customer confidence.
The stakes were clear. If we did not stabilise quality and cost quickly, we risked further claims exposure, margin erosion and service dissatisfaction.
The gap was not effort. It was capability. We lacked leaders with deep lean, automation and data-driven decision making experience who could standardise ways of working at scale.
I made a deliberate choice to hire for operational excellence outcomes, not sector labels. With Mark, as our guide, we mapped the outcomes we needed to deliver and built role specifications focused on quality, claims reduction and labour efficiency. Together we followed a clear plan: diagnose the problem, define success, source cross sector talent, simulate impact through live business cases, decide with evidence, and launch with a structured 90-day onboarding plan.
