Zero-Based Analysis
Understanding there is always more opportunity
There are trillions of dollars of opportunity going unrealized in businesses and other organizations today. Zero-Based Analysis (ZBA) is the approach that brings all of this opportunity to light. By making opportunity visible, leaders throughout organizations can begin to realize their untapped potential. Zero-Based Analysis is not about blue-sky thinking, brainstorming, or creating unrealistic expectations. ZBA is about arming forward-thinking leaders with a quiver of highly impactful, concrete improvements to transform their business performance.
Zero-Based Analysis uncovers all opportunities, their magnitude, and their location in one comprehensive assessment. Approaches like brainstorming and benchmarking can create to-do lists of opportunities but are not exhaustive and often beg the question, “Did we miss something?” OEE and zero-loss techniques use a similar 100% efficient point of comparison, but they fall over by creating significant buckets of “unrealizable” opportunity. ZBA rigorously identifies all of the opportunity that exists and shows insights into why historic constraints can be overcome more readily than previously thought.
How is Zero-Based Analysis different than what I do now?
