What Makes UEP Different
1. We are authentic; we only offer services that we use in our own operations whether in transactional processing, supply-chain or manufacturing functions. Uniquely, this allows potential clients to visit our companies – before any commitment is made – to see close-up how our approach and methods deliver outstanding improvements in performance in a variety of environments.
2. We have a hugely powerful knowledge bank and toolset (which combines proven methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma and Change Management together with our proprietary Unipart Way tools and techniques) developed, tested, continuously refined and in constant use in the ‘lab’ of Unipart itself.
3. We are not general consultants – we are specialists, with an expertise based on years of practical operational experience. This ‘real-world’ experience means our consultants come with levels of credibility and empathy not always associated with the consulting industry.
4. We develop genuine working partnerships with our clients. Too many consulting programmes entail work being ‘done to’ the client. We prefer to work with clients by actively involving their people in the process of identifying and implementing opportunities for improvement.
5. We are experts at building Employee Engagement. The key skill we look for more than anything else in potential UEP practitioners is the ability to engage with people, because we know that engagement is the key factor that determines whether new, more efficient ways of working are fully embraced and implemented. Time and again, clients remark on how our ability to engage with their people sets us apart.
6. We are genuinely passionate about the transfer of knowledge. By inspiring clients’ employees and equipping them with the tools, skills and confidence necessary to improve performance, we help to build a new culture of working that creates continuous and sustained improvement long after our engagement has completed. For UEP, avoiding the creation of any dependency on our services is a key measure of our success.
7. We have an unrivalled track record of delivering exceptional benefits and returns for our clients within relatively short timeframes across a variety of industry sectors, functions and operating environments.
8. We have scale and global reach. With 200+ people and a track record of successful programs in Europe, North America, South America, Australasia and the Middle East, we are one of the world’s largest consultancies specialising in the field of operational performance improvement.
