Problem

Your Teams Have Improvement Ideas. The Savings Leak Out During Implementation.

Most operations teams don’t lack improvement suggestions. What’s missing is a reliable way to turn them into implemented changes with savings someone can verify.

Ideas sit in spreadsheets and inboxes. Decisions get postponed because nobody clearly owns them. Implementation stalls for lack of time or budget. Savings are estimated rather than validated, so leadership support fades. A fix that works at one site never reaches the others.

The assessment shows which of these is costing you the most, and which one to fix first.

Below are the seven areas that decide whether improvements deliver savings:

  • Strategy

    Are initiatives aligned to the priorities that matter most?

  • Governance

    Who decides what gets funded, stopped or scaled — and how quickly?

  • Processes

    Does every initiative follow a path suited to its size and risk?

  • Portfolio

    Can you see, in one place, what's running and what it costs?

  • Culture & Climate

    Do people participate, and does participation lead anywhere?

  • External Signals

    Do trends, customer feedback and regulation reach decision-makers?

  • External Partners

    Are suppliers, startups and customers contributing to your pipeline?

What you leave with

What You Get from 45 Minutes

  • A score across all seven areas

    so you know where you stand compared with mature CI programs.

  • The root causes behind stalled implementation

    not just the symptoms.

  • A prioritized action plan

    that shows what to fix first and what it should be worth.

  • The KPIs to track from here

    implementation rate, validated savings, time to decision, participation, and how often improvements are reused across sites.

  • A clear view of fit

    whether HYPE Innovate, HYPE Improve, or neither is right for your program. This is not a sales pitch disguised as an assessment.

Customer Stories

ConocoPhillips

$200M+ saved annually

Energy

ConocoPhillips needed a better way to capture and scale employee-driven improvement initiatives across its Alaska operations. The team replaced fragmented tools with a single structured system, running 6–8 targeted campaigns per year across office and field staff.

The result: more than 2,000 initiatives managed, 1,500+ employees engaged, and roughly 20% of positive cash flow impact linked to the platform. One initiative reduced a $2.5M equipment replacement to a $40K upgrade. The program later expanded globally.

FAQ

Is this a product demo?

No. We look at how your program captures, decides on, implements, and measures improvements today. A product walkthrough only happens if you ask for one.

Who should request an assessment?

CI managers, operational excellence and Lean/Kaizen leaders, plant and site leaders, quality managers, and COOs responsible for cost and productivity targets.

We already use Lean or Six Sigma. Is this still relevant?

Yes. The assessment doesn’t judge your method. It looks at what happens around it: how ideas are captured, who decides, how fast, and whether the savings are proven.

We run our program in spreadsheets. Is that a problem?

Not necessarily. Many programs we assess started that way. The assessment shows whether your current setup is limiting implementation or measurement, and at what point it will start to.

Can you help us build a business case?

Yes. We can help you estimate the value of a higher implementation rate and of validated savings, using your own numbers.
