The Way to Greater Success

Kingdom Technology helps clients to answer two questions:

“How can we achieve greater success?”

“What technology investments are the most likely to bring us success?”

After successful corporate careers, we have been advising companies since 1985. One of our recent clients says he expects to save US$0.8 billion over 22 years, after a 6-month project that cost him about $175,000 – including his own staff time. It involved a global comparison of the specification, maintenance, refurbishment and life extension methods for a certain class of assets. It also included comparisons of productivity, asset condition monitoring methods and quality and availability outcomes.

He is by no means our first client to measure the benefits of our projects in hundreds of millions of US$. Most of the larger savings have come from better asset management and changes in organisation structures and methods.

But success does not always mean greater profitability, lower cost or higher revenues. For every client, we seek to understand what success means for them. One wanted to introduce best practices across Europe in managing and maintaining roads. Another needed to know if and how their signalling system could achieve only 2 minutes between trains. A third wanted to know how to organise their revenue collection system to meet their needs after a merger.
