Bilingual operations partner · Manitoba, Quebec & New Brunswick

We teach teams how good operations work,
and we install and run them.

Provenance works two ways. We run operations as a fractional lead for owner-run businesses in Manitoba, Quebec and New Brunswick, and we train public-service teams and not-for-profits in operations, management and Lean. In French and English.

2Why it matters

Why it matters.

Most owner-run businesses run through one person. Every decision, every fire, every day. It caps how far the business can grow and it wears the owner down. Public-service teams and not-for-profits feel the same pull, more to do than hours to do it in. Good operations are the fix: a clear rhythm, a simple way to see the numbers, and a team that can decide without you. We teach it, and we run it.

3How it works, for owner-run businesses

Most owners start small,
with a short diagnostic.

You do not sign up for a retainer on day one. The path is built to earn each step. Start with the free Operations Health Check. If it is worth going further, a short paid diagnostic looks at what is really going on and hands you a written findings report you keep. From there, most owners pick one scoped fix, and some ask us to stay and run operations month to month. You choose how far up the ladder to go.

Free. Operations Health Check, twelve questions, five minutes
Operations Snapshot. A fast paid read of your operations
Operations Diagnostic. A verified findings report you keep
Project or pilot. One scoped fix, quoted after the diagnostic
Fractional retainer. Monthly, scoped to your business after the diagnostic

Beyond the diagnostic, we do not quote a single price. You get three options to choose from, once we have seen what is really going on.

4Training programs, public service & non-profits

What we teach.

The training arm is built for public-service teams and not-for-profits: bilingual, in-house, delivered on your own processes. The most requested program is Lean and continuous improvement for public-sector teams, taught by someone who worked inside a federal agency, which almost no trainer can say. Non-profits can start with the free Lean for Community Service session. Owner-run teams can be trained too, and it often leads into fractional operations.

Lean & Continuous Improvement, public-sector teams
Lean for Community Service, not-for-profits (free first session)
Operations & management fundamentals, new managers

5Who's behind it

An implementation firm,
not another opinion.

A trainer who has run operations

Founded by a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and former Canada Revenue Agency auditor, with years spent running operations and checking whether what was reported matched what could be proven.

Lean, actually applied

SOPs get written, processes get rebuilt, and teams get trained on their own real work, on a schedule and with your people.

Bilingual, and it matters

Every program and every engagement runs in French or English. In a bilingual market, training your team in the language they work in is the difference between a session they sit through and one they use.
