About Us
The company is led and managed by process improvement (PI) practitioners with expertise in technology. We have converted extensive experience in driving sustainable improvement into an intuitive and versatile technology that applies the principles of PI to the process of doing PI itself. That in essence is the promise of Open Orbit – it will make your PI projects faster, cheaper, more standardised, more repeatable, more re-usable and more predictable. All the attributes that we seek in the business process are thus being applied to the improvement project as well.
Insolitus is based in Sydney, Australia and has development and design partners in India. It has concept and design advisors from the industry including senior process excellence practitioners in global consulting firms, business service providers and large enterprises.
Meet the Team
Director (Founder)
Open Orbit is Niranjan’s brainchild and has been founded with a vision to apply the principles of Process Improvement (PI) to the very process of PI itself – or PI 2.0. The combination of a diagnostic style workbench, (patent application under way) with a context-sensitive knowledge base of PI insights, was conceived from Niranjan’s experience of Lean Six Sigma and what drives sustainable process change. With Open Orbit, he has brought together this knowledge with his insights in technology to conceive of and build a new platform for the process improvement professional.
