Here is what has been achieve by others when working with Robert:
- We eliminated a process bottleneck in one team and enhanced the quality control. This created an overall productivity increase of 3% for a critical resource, by transferring the task to the 'downstream' team. There were both tangible & intangible benefits: overall cost savings plus increased job satisfaction for both teams.
- We reduced the software release quality control rejection rate for a SaaS company from 60% to zero by implementing best practices. The twin benefits were the avoidance of re-work costs and new code was delivered on time.
- We reduced process times from several days to a half-day through automation, resulting in 75%~90% cost savings, whilst at the same time increasing customer satisfaction.
- A performance metric improved from about 53% to consistently above 90%, by adopting automation recommendations. This brought the service comfortably within contractual requirements and consequently resulted in moving 10% of its customer base from 'At Risk' of non-renewal.
- Solved a long-standing and recurring problem by recognising that the underlying cause was two issues masquerading as one problem. Both issues were then quickly resolved.
