The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, which are taking place right now, offer a perfect opportunity to look at the basic principles for the success of top athletes and apply them to operational excellence initiatives in your company.
Professional athletes practice repeatedly, over many years, to improve their performance and ultimately prevail over their competitors. Operational excellence initiatives are also about optimizing performance and strengthening competitiveness. The Olympic Games, with an enormous range of different disciplines, can provide insights that can be transferred to your organization.
Olympic disciplines that translate to operational excellence
Ice hockey

In ice hockey, practiced combinations are a great advantage; there are well-rehearsed team parts, such as the forwards duo or defensive line, that come together to form a successful team.
