I first met Vip when he was a keynote speaker at a risk management conference – his message and energetic presentation marked him out. We wanted to hear more! So we asked Vip to coach the Chevron project team in developing a team performance culture and implementing our risk management programme.

Vip’s relentless optimism and pragmatic messages helped to inspire and energize our team. I would without hesitation, engage Vip on future projects, or recommend him to others. Top-notch performer.

We hired Vip Vyas and Distinctive Performance to develop a collaborative common objective framework for a strategically important, newly approved mega project in Hong Kong with specific commitments made to Government. Given the demands of the new project, we wanted to leverage Distinctive Performance’s experience on the people side of projects and performance to challenge our planning and design a solid process for selecting consultants and external to Hong Kong plant equipment suppliers. In particular, we found Distinctive Performance’s behavioural assessment methodology supported to be very effective in enabling us us to identify and select the best Development & Design Phase consultants as our Owners Engineer.

I have worked with Vip on a number of large complex programmes and projects over the years working at Mace and HKUST.

Vip has always been excellent at getting to the bottom of an issue on a project quickly, he has a way of making all parties feel that they are being listened to and understood.

During one particular project he took a very complex delivery schedule that to everyone in the room seemed impossible, he broke it down into its constituent parts, get the various parties in the room to talk to each other about the clashes and issues and systematically sort them out to the benefit of the project and as well as each party involved.

Planned Shutdowns are both a high direct cost and significant opportunity cost from lost production for any Glencore asset.

We brought in Vip Vyas from Distinctive Performance following a major re-organization at Glencore’s PASAR refinery. The engagement involved identifying and overcoming several intercultural, leadership & performance challenges facing a major upcoming shutdown.

Distinctive Performance’s approach helped resolve many long-standing issues with extraordinary speed. The sessions created a noticeable behavioral shift within the team. Collaboration and trust were restored.

These enablers were essential to actively managing critical path activities in a disciplined way. Distinctive Performance’s methodology enabled us greatly to fast-track our leader development in executing shuts with increased rigor

We hired Vip and his team to support us in transforming some long-standing cross-country, cross-cultural challenges facing the region. The engagement design, interviews and work sessions resulted in a visible shift in collaboration & productivity.

A key highlight after the engagement, was the significant improvement in our financial performance. I'm very pleased with the outcomes and would recommend Vip and Distinctive Performance for similar engagements in the future
