I have worked with ARGO-EFESO twice in the last 7 years, once as Refinery Manager and more recently as EVP Refining & Logistics managing a fleet of 4 refineries.  In both cases ARGO-EFESO has proven to be a trusted and value creating partner to deploy front-line strategic initiatives in  maintenance, operations and projects.  ARGO-EFESO is particularly effective at working with front-line leaders to transfer knowledge and install operational excellence routines and habits.  Our work together has helped us realize significant results in productivity, quality and reliability with the strongest commitment to develop leaders while building a culture of continuous improvement and sustainment

ARGO-EFESO was referred to us by one of Canada’s largest railway operators, and were ultimately shortlisted based on their demonstrated capacity and capability for developing lean talent. This lead to a three year partnership in which we were able to develop 25+ internal “lean practitioners”, who then went on to achieve millions in savings for the Upstream side of the business. ARGO-EFESO’s combination of lean tool deployment and behavioral-based leadership development proved to be a great formula for building sustaining skills with our workforce. Several of those leaders have gone on to senior positions and still rely on that experience to continuously improve our business.
