Analysis
Problem-solving
Optimisation
By using a multitude of quantitative and qualitative parameters, Houston examines, analyzes and compiles the necessary data to perform a full performance diagnostic for our clients, identifying the key areas to enhance.
How we do it
The Houston team masters the different techniques to obtain, analyse and transform data into useful information. We model and conceptualize your operations in a way that permits us to view them from a different angle. This, in turn, will allow your organisation to move away from its current model and will ignite a shift in paradigms.
Backed by over 15 years of experience, Houston Consulting is adaptive and efficient. When our team commits to an analysis, we can rapidly identify the key performance and production indicators unique to our clients. Based on these indicators, our team can then pinpoint the areas of the value chain that need to be improved upon to diminish costs, reduce delivery times, improve quality or just generally augment the efficiency of the process.
Experts in this domain, the Houston team uses visual map-outs of the production process to easily identify and convey the important information to all the stakeholders involved in an improvement process. In order to maximise the analysis efforts, our team can then create a computer model of our clients production process, allowing us to better understand it, perform and compare different improvement scenarios to finally identify the maximum impact solution.
Houston Consulting implements problem-solving strategies and techniques to help businesses solve punctual problems, improve processes and diminish operational costs. Our team of professionals works closely with each client to help them find solutions in order to reach optimal levels of productivity.
How we do it?
By using concrete tools to measure efficiency and applying innovative techniques and methods to various types of problems, we bring quantifiable results to businesses, small or large. With over 15 years of problem-solving experience, we are able to quickly identify any critical areas, devise an appropriate solution and implement it hands-on.
By using hybrid techniques, based off such classics as the brainstorm, the fishbowl exercise or even the travelling worksheet and some state-of-the-art techniques such as the constructive competition, we support our clients in setting their objectives and reaching them.
We are well aware that each situation is different and much of our expertise lies in the flexibility of our methods. Using such a wide variety of techniques allows us to customise each strategy to fit clients' individual needs and ensure the concrete results.
"Failure is not an option."
- Gene Kranz, Flight Director for the Apollo 13 mission
After the unexpected explosion of an oxygen tank during their trip to the Moon, the three astronauts of the Apollo 13 mission were stranded in space, aboard a damaged spacecraft.
Determined to bring them back, NASAs ground control crew located in Houston, Texas, used groundbreaking techniques to find innovative solutions for the crisis they were facing.
On April 17th, 1970, six days after takeoff and four days after the explosion that had crippled their ship, the three Apollo 13 astronauts safely landed back on Earth, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the crew and the Houston ground support team.
Inspired by these events, Gilles Bourque and Guillaum Dubreuil have built their business with values such as the innovation, resilience and determination of the Apollo 13 ground team in mind, and have decided to name their business accordingly.
Houston Consulting uses a blend of tried-and-true creative techniques that NASAs Houston ground crew applied during the Apollo 13 crisis, as well as cutting-edge methods and tools in order to get the best results for our clients.
With our team of domain experts in a wide variety of fields, our company is unparalleled at analyzing and identifying improvement opportunities, problem-solving and process optimization.
With over 15 years of experience and hundreds of clients helped so far, our secret lies in our determination to reach the best possible outcome for our clients.
We are dedicated to supporting our clients at successfully completing their critical missions, and for us, failure is not an option.
We are Houston Consulting.
