“The five-month project certainly
brought to life the maxim that ‘you
don’t know what you don’t know’. Yes,
we almost certainly knew everything
about mining and smelting, but it
became clear we knew a lot less
about being better managers.
Proudfoot, as outsiders, could be very
objective with us. They showed us
how to see things for what they really
were, placing us on a firmer footing to
realise the productivity improvements
we needed.” (More)

“Proudfoot's ‘toolkit’ for on-the-floor
execution is excellent; it’s really a
manual for how to change a culture
for higher performance and then
make it stick. Their people are good
leaders with the tools, discipline and
experience to make effectiveness in
execution routine in the workforce.”

President, Manitoba Operations, Inco
“Proudfoot were retained by IOCC, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, to assist with our cost reduction program,
specifically focused on formalizing cost-reduction initiatives and establishing an appropriate tracking
and reporting process. The Proudfoot team were very professional and integrated well with the local
management team. Their rigorous approach was effective in developing a more cost-conscious culture at IOCC.”
