ZINATA, INC.
LAGUNA BEACH, CA

The name Zinata comes from a South African tree that represents life as we know it. Today, Zinata is a fast-growing group of seasoned practitioners. We’ve done the work, acquired the wisdom and now we’re sharing it. We may come from disparate industries and countries, but we all run on three fundamental beliefs that remain central to our offering: To help others, you need to have walked in their path yourself. This philosophy, combined with our deep, eclectic talent pool give Zinata its life-force. One Zinata client might wish to fast-track a doubling of production. Another seeks to iron the kinks out of a global supply chain in order to bring a new drug to market with maximum efficiency. A different client wants to break people out of their organizational bubbles and have them focus on a unified aspiration. How we help is unique We are a group of deeply experienced professionals who have worked for and with some of the most successful and complex organizations on the planet. We each have areas of intensely honed expertise. The Zinata people you meet initially are those who will, for a time, become part of the inner workings of your organization to plan, effect and manage change. And we leave you fully prepared to continue the work using the models we helped you establish. We are a virtual company with no headquarters, no overhead and no interest in BS-ing our clients. Our people are their own mobile, expert agents of change, working from a client site, airplane, home or hotel – reachable and ready always. What you won’t find at Zinata are interns, “brilliant number crunchers” with no real-world perspective, or tenured deadwood. We are a tight group of high-end talents, sleeves rolled-up, working with and answering directly to our C-suite clients. We thrive on solving complex business performance and process problems. If you’ve got questions or would like to discuss how we’ve helped companies like yours, Making the complex simple. Driving successful transformation by aligning people, process and technology. Scroll down to begin the journey. Zinata helps manufacturers in pharmaceuticals, food & beverage and consumer packaged goods to successfully undertake significant business process changes that drive their product value chains. We align and bridge functional and business silos, energizing them toward common purpose. Zinata empowers your agility to navigate the waves of disruption. Where our competitors strive to improve narrow functional processes in isolation, Zinata brings them all together, as a conductor guides a symphony orchestra. Then we teach our clients how to do it without us. We specialize in work processes that span functional, business and geographic boundaries – from new product development to manufacturing and supply chain. This includes the leadership change that is essential to any successful transformation. We also challenge you to think beyond today to the company of tomorrow. More About Zinata No two manufacturers are exactly alike, but all have problems to solve, milestones to clear and goals to reach. Zinata is familiar with what you’re going through right now. You might be asking, “How do we scale to two times our current size in five years – without losing our minds and souls?” You could be witnessing sea changes in markets or supply chains that are affecting your production, sales or distribution. Perhaps you’re adrift in an endless swirl of rework and confusion stemming from misaligned processes and metrics. Or the transformation of your operations to a “consumer-back design” approach is proving too large a beast to handle without help. From molecule to patient. From field to table. From idea to smash hit. So many businesses push through product launches and other key milestones in a state of perpetual crisis management. And success, if it’s reached, has many hues. Often what looks like a win today reveals itself to be a tangle of seemingly unsolvable problems a few years down the road. Zinata people bring decades of experience, not as consultants, but as veterans who’ve spent their careers actually solving the problems of global manufacturers, as employees and as trusted advisors. We understand We’ve transformed armies of silo keepers into unified, eyes-on-prize, lethally effective teams. We’ve codified the line of attack, our methodology. We’ve crystallized our learnings into Zinata Accelerator Programs. We’ve created a framework to house best practices and standards. And it applies through new product development, manufacturing operations and supply chain planning. It’s a common way, a universal language to help you simplify, end to end. What Zinata does is never the same with any two clients. Get detailed descriptions of our services, our difference and our approach.
