Restoring Operational Control
Complex manufacturing organizations don’t collapse all at once. They Drift.
Performance becomes inconsistent
Accountability softens
Leadership spends more time managing escalation than governing execution
It is painful and expensive.
The more it visible becomes, the more threatening it becomes.
He is strategic yet tactical and has a unique ability to connect equally well at all levels in an organization – from board room to boiler room.
-Karl Watson, CEO
What I Do
I work with CEOs and COOs to restore operational control in multi-site manufacturing environments.
Not through consulting.
Not through training.
But by installing an execution system the creates clarity, ownership, and follow-through – on the floor and in the leadership routines.
What stuck out was his ability to reach across several lines of business at the same time, and help us create specific, strategic improvements in addition to building in accountability.

When Am I Engaged
When results no longer match expectations
When lean exists, but performance doesn’t scale or stick
When variability across sites is increasing
When leadership confidence is eroding
When the board is asking harder questions
One of the most rewarding parts of our professional relationship is Audie’s ability to listen to my challenges and make the appropriate adjustments to fit for our company culture. Simply put, I call this Audie’s rigid flexibility in providing solutions.
-Brett Baker, Regional President
The Approach
I install a proven execution recovery system designed to:
Stabilize performance quickly
Restore accountability at every level
Align leadership behavior with operational reality
Create predictable outcomes in compressed timeframes
This is hands-on, visible, and results-driven
Audie’s knowledge and humility is different. He shares real-life experiences that every level in the organization can personally relate with.

What This Is Not
This is not traditional consulting
This is not a long-cycle transformation program
This is not a slide driven initiative
This is not a theoretical operating model
This is executive intervention.
Audie understands the impact of genuinely connecting with people. His commitment to excellence and helping people achieve more than they ever thought possible, comes through in his actions
-Todd Ballou, Value Stream Manager
The Outcome
I leave organizations with:
Clear ownership of results
A governing operating cadence
Reduced volatility and fewer surprises
Leader who control execution instead of reacting to it
And no dependency on external support
Knowledge and experience are critical, but the ability to connect with audiences at every level, from the CEO to the hourly employees in our plants, is what separates him from his peers.
