Strategic Growth
Successful strategic growth initiatives can often increase the transferable value of a business by millions of dollars in a relatively short period of time.
At Blue Sea Advisors, we believe the fastest way to grow a company’s transferable value is to blend the incredible power of Theory of Constraints Management and Metrics (“TOC”) with applicable components of other improvement methodologies, whether it’s Lean, Six Sigma, Entrepreneurial Operating System (“EOS”), or Industry 4.0 Automation. The nature and location of the enterprise’s core constraint will determine which toolset(s) are best suited for achieving strategic growth and the compounding of equity values.
The video overviews below provide some key insights into the thinking processes our Network members utilize with our clients.
Fellow Automation Alley member, Ready Robotics, demonstrates how easy it is to teach a robot to do repetitive tasks these days.

Providing the answer to “What to change?”
This next video captures a glimpse of Eli Goldratt’s genius, addressing the question, “What to Change”? He mentions Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits as a great work. “Begin with the end in mind” is one of Covey’s famous principles. We obviously subscribe to that philosophy at Blue Sea Advisors.
But add to that Eli Goldratt’s exhortation to measure the global impacts of local decisions, and to pick the weakest chain in the link to improve, and you will see a tremendous change to the bottom line in the most rapid fashion possible. Listen in as Eli describes the experiment at SCI, a $10 billion electronics assembly company, which compared the impacts of installing Lean, Six Sigma, and TOC in their various plants for comparison as to which ones produced the greatest performance results.

The Makings of a Good Strategy
Dr. Eli Goldratt reminds us what makes a good strategy vs. a bad strategy. Every project and every process improvement must be designed to bring a company closer to its purpose for existing. If this is so, do we not need a good tool to determine if a project or a process improvement WILL IN FACT move the company toward its goal and fulfillment of its purpose?
That tool now exists. It is expedient. It harnesses your intuition. It harnesses your executive team’s intuition. It harnesses your key people’s intuition. It renders immediate visibility into the potential impacts of a proposed project or process improvement.
It is revolutionary–and an indispensable tool in guiding your strategic growth initiatives.
Call us today to see a live demonstration of it by calling us at 248-875-7675 or sending an email request to GTRose@BlueSea.LLC.
