Just as a building cannot grow above its framing, a business cannot grow beyond the capacity of its operations, and the strength of its supply chain. At OPTIVATE, our goal is to remove operational roadblocks that prevent your business from growing and thriving.

The OPTIVATE team works to ensure that your operation runs smoothly and efficiently, free of risk, with world-class systems and processes that give you a secure operational foundation.

Our President, Daniel Watson, has had a distinguished career in M&A integration, rapid production scaling, and crisis management.  Below are some updates on his most recent work:

• In 2021, Daniel wrote a book on post-acquisition operations management, which is now the standard work for Honeywell M&A integration. It is literally a playbook for how to make any manufacturing business best-in-class, and includes chapters on all of the Service Areas listed above.

• In 2023, Daniel successfully managed an operational crisis for Schindler Elevator North America, resolving a $600M production backlog, and increasing company EBITDA by 19% year over year. 

• And in 2024, Daniel negotiated a $2.7B joint venture between TK Elevator and the government of Saudi Arabia, and oversaw the creation of the first major elevator and escalator factory in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. 

Like Mr. Watson, all of our consultants have experience implementing world-class operational systems.  We close supply chain gaps in small and medium-sized businesses, integrate and stabilize companies post-merger, and can always uncover dramatic opportunities for greater efficiency and savings, even in the most established corporations.

We understand that every business is unique. Using a combination of classical strategy and cutting-edge innovations, the OPTIVATE team will find the operational solutions tailor-made to fit the needs of your firm.

And we love a challenge! We specialize in transformation, post-merger integration, rapid scale ups, and crisis management. Schedule a free business review today, and let OPTIVATE turn your biggest obstacles into quick wins.
