Crest Rock’s approach to helping companies achieve operational excellence is based on its S.E.A. framework – Strategy, Execution, Accountability. Implemented and refined over several decades, our S.E.A. framework is a time-tested methodology that creates alignment through clarity of a shared vision and the thoughtful, detailed plans and people required to achieve it.
Strategy
A bold vision requires a decision-making strategy that can identify the goals and objectives that will make a vision become a reality. Crest Rock has a rich history of collaboratively working side by side with management teams to identify these key objectives, turning them from ideas into actionable initiatives.
Execution
Crest Rock supports its portfolio company management teams by sharing purpose-built tools, operational experience and lessons learned as they build detailed plans to execute initiatives driven by strategic planning. In many cases, daily, weekly and monthly objectives are established, serving as the foundation for a company’s 100 day, one-year and five-year operating plans.
Accountability
Crest Rock believes it takes a complete team effort for a company to reach its full growth potential. A game plan must be put in place for each and every individual along with clearly defined key performance indicators to track and measure success. Establishing the appropriate metrics at the outset ensures strong coordination and communication, and it highlights issues early on so plans can be adjusted quickly in reaction to economic, market or competitive opportunities or threats.
