History & Background

Team Integra was formed in 2005 as a vehicle to support businesses and organisations continuously improve through the support of a network of experts. Since 2005 we have worked with many organisations and businesses both small and large across many territories. One of the original team and current principal is Ed Clements. 

Team Integra has supported successful operational projects in many sectors including Automotive, Aerospace, Biotech, Chemical, Construction, Engineering, Food, FMCG, Materials and Pharma. We have also supported many successful Service projects in Accountancy, Forensic Science, Further Education, Software Development, Professional Services and Recruitment.

Example Workshop

Individuality & Integrity

Many well-known consultancies are motivated or have an interest in promoting their model(s) and allowing them to proliferate. This often has the consequence of closing down the scope for genuine knowledge gain or radical system intervention. This is because the way in which you approach and think about a situation is already constrained within those boundaries.

What if you just started with a curiosity, some guiding principles and a method of experimentation and intervention. You would start to develop your own model within your own context that is right for your own people, the organisation and it’s future.
Our network, independence and model-free approach means we have the flexibility to support you to do just that. We will act with integrity and will be open, honest, frank and committed. You will need to be too if you really want to build your own unique model and future.

Thinking, Values & Principles

At Team Integra our improvement thinking, philosophy and principles have been shaped by our experience, learning and collaborations. Our work with leaders and natural work teams is built on a foundation of flow, kaizen, constraint and systems thinking.

As with the Shingo model and systems thinkers like Donella Meadows we believe that thinking and principles are the foundation for the systems and metrics that evolve in organisations. Those systems and metrics result in observable performance and an emergent organisational culture. Therefore a culture change will only occur when the foundational thinking and principles change.

How we work

Practical & Individual

Network & Reach

Our combined reach and capacity mean we are able to support multi-site transformation programmes at speed. 

Knowledge & Capability

Our strong academic links, combined experience and broad capabilities mean we are able to pick the best approach for even the most complex transformation programmes.  

Context & Demand Led

Our independence and model-free, flexibility means we are able to understand context and rapidly make sense of situations. This starts with and is guided by demand and customer value. 

The Whole System

Our belief is that a “system cannot understand itself” and therefore we bring an outside-in, whole system view that combines both, synthesis and analysis.  

Practical & Pragmatic

We are passionate about “work” and how natural work teams improve that work. We are real, practical and hands-on where the “work” works. That is the only way that you can appreciate it for yourself.

Immersive & Intensive

As a committed leader we work with you and your natural work teams “in” your organisation to experience and guide a real, normative intervention. This approach unlocks new possibilities.  

What We Do

Services & Support

Engage with us for a trusted quiet word, a truly tailored training programme or a total supply chain transformation.

Consultancy

Our consulting services focus on your organisation’s most critical issues, opportunities and contradictions. We can cut across organisational boundaries and give a fresh viewpoint to test or help you develop your own solutions.  Our deep expertise and holistic overview can break through when you can sometimes struggle yourself.

Coaching

There are often times as a leader or manger when it might be beneficial to talk through your plans, strategy or thoughts. The first 100 days in a new role would be a prime example. As important is remembering to develop yourself as a leader and mentor.  Coaching is an effective way to support organisational, team and personal development.

Tailored Training

At Team Integra we recognise that teaching and learning are not the same thing. Our unique combination of practical experience and academic rigour make us a perfect partner to support, develop and deliver your tailored training programs. With our network of world-renowned experts we can blend a unique training syllabus into your own context, location, brand and culture. 

Demand Driven Flows

Whatever the product or service there is a flow, be it inventory, information or knowledge. Wherever there is a flow there will be demand, variation and constraints. With our history in lean, constraint management and agility we are perfectly suited to support you. Working with you we will seek to understand demand, capacity and flow. In so doing we will identify variation and constraints whether they be physical, policy, capability or financial.  

Future-proof Factory

We believe that the future-proof factory combines the best about people, process and plant. It is a unique and powerful combination of World Class; maintenance systems, instrumentation, measurement, automation, IT, process improvement, product management, visual management, communication and engagement. We will maximise flow  by releasing the unused capacity of your equipment through Total Productive Maintenance, Overall Equipment Effectiveness and team-based process stewardship.

Sustainable Supply Chains

The modern supply chain is a complex network of nodes, flows and boundaries. Understanding your real demand, your supply chain landscape and your flows are all critical. Alongside this is the need for robust risk management and resilience planning. We can help support your supply chain design and management to  improve customer service levels with maximum flow and minimum inventory. Using proprietary software we can model and implement optimised inventory holding to deliver significant improvements to both customer service and cash flow simultaneously.
