LEAN TCM
Protect and Ensure Total Value Creation
Lean TCM™ (Total Compliance Management) is a framework that protects and ensures creation of Total Value by improving your ability to meet all your obligations and keep all your promises connected with regulatory and voluntary rules, standards, targets, and value-based outcomes. From legal requirements to ESG commitments and everywhere in between, you now have the means to tackle them all with assurance.
Lean TCM doesn't replace existing management systems or programs. It raises them to a higher level, providing essential capabilities to realize more than certification alone can provide.
Lean TCM goes beyond mere regulatory compliance to effectively contend with both Procedural and Operational Compliance requirements covering both Legal and Social Licenses to Operate.
Total Value Chain Analysis (VCA)
Lean TCM helps you embrace sustainability, build trust, and deliver on all your obligations fully equipped with principles and practices for accountability, alignment, and assurance at every level from governance to boots-on-the-ground.
Lean TCM takes its cue from Total Quality Management along with Continuous Improvement, Lean Startup, Hoshin Kanri (Policy Deployment), ISO 37301 (CMS) and ISO 31000 (RM), Performance Management, Promise Theory, Cybernetics, and other domains to better contend with modern day compliance challenges.

Procedural vs. Operational Compliance
Lean TCM (Total Compliance Management) defines a holistic, proactive, and integrative approach designed to help stay between the lines and ahead of risk.
This framework helps you make the transition from Procedural to Operational Compliance so you can better meet performance and outcome-based obligations.
Not a luxury, but a necessity for sustainable mission success.
Operational Compliance Model
Lean TCM incorporates the Lean Compliance Operational Compliance Model that supports all obligation types and commitments. It uses design principles derived from systems theory and and modern day regulatory designs to help you always stay between the lines and ahead of risk.
For compliance to be effective, it must first be operational. Operational compliance is achieved when all essential compliance functions, behaviours, and interactions exist and perform at levels necessary to create the outcomes of compliance defined as Minimal Viable Compliance (MVC).
When compliance is operational, it can finally be more than the sum of its parts.

Metrics that Drive Compliance
True compliance success isn't measured by checkboxes—it's measured by outcomes. When done right, effective compliance drives better safety, security, sustainability, quality, and profit, ultimately building lasting stakeholder trust.
The TCM Metrics Framework helps organizations measure what truly creates these outcomes through five essential categories: adherence, conformance, performance, effectiveness, and integrity. These interconnected measures create a comprehensive view of your compliance impact.
By focusing on these key metrics, you'll have the tools to stay on mission, between the lines, and stay ahead of risk—transforming compliance from an cost centre into a competitive advantage.
