02 — The Challenge

The challenge.

DENSO’s North American engineering team wanted to cut cost and improve the bottom line. The bar they set was a 30% structural cost reduction, the kind of number most teams treat as out of reach.

03 — The Work

The work.

Novus Global opened with a two-day Meta Performance™ intensive, then ran seven months of group coaching in threes, sixty minutes at a time. The work pushed engineers past limits they had quietly accepted as fixed.

04 — The Result

The result.

They beat the 30% target ahead of schedule. Engineering efficiency rose 25%, $63M in product cost came out of the work, and every participant rated it the best training of their careers. The CEO brought Novus Global back to take it across all of North America.
