2. Transformation Office Leadership (Sustainable Productivity 2.0)

• Own the transformation agenda

  • Run the Transformation Office as the enterprise engine for Sustainable Productivity 2.0, expanding scope beyond FPC Engineering into R&D, OTR, Sourcing, GSC, Finance, HR, and Legal.

• Shift to value streams

  • Move the enterprise from a by-function to a by-value-stream operating model, prioritizing value objects that cut across multiple value streams to unlock enterprise-wide (not local) impact.

• Deploy the SP method

  • Apply the Value Object–Value Stream method (SIPOC, PQ/PR, 5-Star Build, standard hours per unit) to quantify NVA hours and convert them into productivity and lead-time gains.

• Create lighthouses

  • Identify and stand up lighthouse processes (e.g., S&IOP) that demonstrate end-to-end value-stream impact and become the template for scaling.

3. AI-First Process Re-Imagination

• Reimagine with AI

  • Lead the AI-first process redesign in partnership with IT and functional leaders, transitioning from reactive workflows to predictive, agentic AI-driven operations targeting 25–30%+ efficiency gains in target processes.

• Sequence disciplined

  • Apply the “Eliminate, Standardize, Automate” playbook — in that order — standardizing and streamlining before automating and adding AI.

• Scale AI capability

  • Deploy a Kaizen AI Ambassador network and embed agentic AI on standardized workflows to replace manual, repetitive touchpoints.

• Leverage partners

  • Manage the external transformation partner (Bain) to inject benchmarking and accelerate the pace of reimagining the future.

4. Governance, Performance & Culture

• Govern with data

  • Establish data-driven governance tracking the ROI of transformation initiatives — cost-out, lead-time reduction, quality, and NVA-hour productivity — with a compelling CEO/ELT narrative that proves capability-building, not just cost reduction.

• Build consensus

  • Build coalitions across senior leadership with competing priorities, positioning transformation as competitive advantage rather than a cost exercise.

• Shape the culture

  • Serve as chief architect of the enterprise Productivity Mindset, leading the cultural shift to a high-velocity, automated, outcome-oriented organization.

Success Criteria (First 24–36 Months)

• Enterprise TTI bowlers on track

  • 100% of 2027 and 50% of 2028 productivity pipeline identified and connected to budget.

• A credible roadmap from ~9% YoY toward ~30% productivity

  • Evidenced by delivered lead-time reductions (e.g., 25–30% on NPI programs).

• 2–3 lighthouse value streams reimagined end-to-end

  • With AI-first standard work and quantified NVA-hour savings.

• Sustainable Productivity 2.0 scaled across all Business Lines and G&A functions

  • With a single standardized method and governance cadence.

• Zero safety and zero major quality regressions

  • Attributable to transformation — productivity and SQDC advancing together.
