Making Reliability Simple™ in Your Organisation
The Reliability Strategy Sprint™ is a 12-week live training and coaching program aimed at Plant Managers and Maintenance Managers in asset-intensive industries to help them create a simple, yet effective Reliability Strategy for their specific plant and finally escape the vicious cycle of reactive maintenance.
Over a period of 12 weeks, you will attend online workshops to increase your knowledge and understanding of key maintenance & reliability concepts, use our tools and templates to assess your current state and with our guidance develop your own Reliability Strategy to help you and your team escape the vicious cycle of reactive maintenance once and for all.
In addition to the online workshops, there will be Group Q&A Calls and 1-on-1 Coaching Calls.
Practical guidance and a complete suite of tools and templates and everything else you need to develop an effective Reliability Strategy.
Personal attention, guidance and coaching from Erik.
In our online workshops we will discuss the core elements of an effective Reliability Strategy, after which you will use our assessment tools to review your current practices and determine key gaps to address.
You will use those assessments to develop your own documented Reliability Strategy supported by a robust business case and presentation that you can pitch to your team and leadership.
Through our 1-on-1 Coaching Calls you will get individual support and feedback to help you build and effective and convincing Reliability Strategy.
Although this is a new program, from personal experience and working with consulting clients we know this approach works very well to escape the vicious cycle of reactive maintenance, ultimately leading to 35% increase in productivity, up to 90% less downtime, substantial decreases in maintenance costs, improved profitability, better team morale and better safety.
The Reliability Strategy Sprint is an intensive 12-week program:
The purpose of this first week is to make sure all participants are set up to make the most of the program.

Group Q&A Session
For over 25+ years, I’ve worked in asset management, specifically in maintenance & reliability in the upstream oil & gas industry. I’ve worked in The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, the Sultanate of Oman, and Australia.
I have worked in some of the most reactive assets you can image, but by combining firsthand industry experience with in-depth industry research I have learned that escaping from a reactive maintenance environment, is not only possible, it is relatively simple (though not necessarily easy).
In the Reliability Strategy Sprint™ Program I will personally guide a small group of Maintenance Managers and Plant Managers to do exactly that: escape from the vicious cycle of reactive maintenance once and for all.
This first program will commence in May and run over a period of 12 weeks. Exact dates of all online session will be confirmed by the end of April.
We aim to run the program in two cohorts, one aimed at those based in the Americas time zones and one aimed at those in Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia.
We plan to run the live sessions (both the online workshops and Q&A sessions) at the following days and times (there will be one session per week per cohort):
Cohort 1: Americas |
|
Cohort 2: Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia |
|
No problem, all live sessions (workshops and Q&A sessions) will be recorded so you can watch the replay if you miss the session, or if you want to go over some of the material at a future date (you will get lifetime access to the recordings).
Spaces will be limited. In this first run of the program we will have a maximum of 6 places per cohort to ensure we get good interaction and I personally have sufficient time to provide high quality feedback as part of the 1-on-1 Coaching Calls.
To enrol, please complete the Expression of Interest form.
I will personally review all Expressions of Interest and then invite the most suitable applicants to enrol in the program. If you are invited to enrol, please act quickly as places are limited and awarded on a first-come-first-served basis to those who have been offered a spot.
Due to the individual coaching aspects of this program, there are a very limited number of spots. We want to make sure we have well-balanced, strong cohorts of motivated Maintenance Managers and Plant Managers who truly want to make a difference. Strong cohorts will lead to a better experience for everyone.
Developing your Reliability Strategy with the help of external consultants will easily cost you $50,000 to $100,000 so this is a very cost-effective approach that will provide with an excellent strategy and roadmap to escape the vicious cycle of reactive maintenance, based on sound proven practices and a solid framework, but adjusted to your plant, your people, your culture.
The Reliability Strategy Sprint™ will cost USD 9,995 in the future, but this first release of the program comes with a 50% discount at USD 4,995. This will be a one-time offer.
