Decades of experience transforming operations
The concept of “smart cultures” may sound new. But we’ve been doing this work for more than four decades. LCE has helped organizations large and small, public and private, local and global, transform how they think, understand and manage the life cycle of their assets to meet operational goals. In that time, industries evolved, people innovated, and technology transformed, but the fundamentals stayed the same.
Our team includes seasoned business professionals that bring unmatched depth and breadth of experience across large and small public sector and private industry
We have distilled this expertise to create the LCEsmartr Playbook—the gold standard roadmap for any operation to implement improvements on their own
We don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach—we provide direction and tools that suit your specific needs; flexible and scalable to accelerate your improvement journey

LCE’s “smart culture” implementation model starts with developing a strategy and vision for a proactive future state, then using standard work, education, and organizational change management to connect the people, processes, equipment and technologies needed to transform operations and achieve results.
Put LCE to work and experience smart culture for your organization
LCE’s expert teams match services and solutions to our clients’ needs, including multi-site operational transformations and targeted maintenance, reliability engineering and asset management services necessary to resolve both strategic and specific tactical issues.
The path to a smart culture starts with education. Register for the Life Cycle Institute’s reliability and maintenance best practice training, a university-backed certification, or hold group training at your site. Choose from in person, live-virtual, and eLearning options.

More about Smart Culture
In industrial environments, smart machines and technology are enabling a new level of performance with potential to reach new levels of business value. Organizations invest in technology to gain efficiencies and position the organization for sustainability and growth.
Unfortunately, reality typically falls short of the dream.
Heavy investments in technology typically fail to deliver expected results. Why? Because the organization—people, process and tools—continue to operate in reactive, responsive and uncoordinated ways making it impossible for the assets to live up to the ‘smart’ promise.
If you want to improve the performance of any operation, you have to start by building a culture that enables it—a smart culture.
A smart culture connects and coordinates people, equipment, and technology to optimize the performance of the system.
