Remote Team Optimization for Enhanced Visibility
Role: Operations Consultant
Client Type: Small-midsize consulting firm
Project Summary: I worked with a client to improve visibility into her remote team's activities without using expensive monitoring software. I implemented a cost-effective help desk ticketing system and optimized workflows. Additionally, I developed user-friendly metrics (KPIs and KRAs), created standard operating procedures (SOPs), automated repetitive tasks, and trained the team on project management tools, SharePoint, and Teams to enable a collaborative work environment. These efforts led to a 30% increase in team productivity, improved morale, and facilitated strategic decision-making, ultimately saving time and money.
Streamlining Communication & Efficiency with Automation
Role: Project Manager
Client Type: Large logistics company
Project Summary: I identified inefficiencies in a logistics team's manual workflows that consumed valuable hours daily. I worked with the staff to analyze the processes and develop automated solutions to streamline tasks, significantly reducing the time spent on repetitive work. I integrated these improvements into daily routines across multiple areas. I created standard operating procedures and easy-to-follow training video guides and conducted training sessions with employees to ensure seamless adoption. As a result, the company achieved cost savings of over $5,000 monthly, improved team communication, and enhanced overall efficiency.
Performance Continuity in Times of Downsizing
Role: Operations Consultant
Client Type: midsize manufacturing company
Project Summary: I developed and implemented a two-year operational plan for a company facing rapid downsizing due to losing a major contract. The primary focus was maintaining high production quality and strong employee morale by establishing clear production goals and developing a cross-training program to adapt to fluctuating work volumes. By empowering employees and ensuring they had the necessary skills, this approach enabled the company to surpass monthly revenue targets and maintain 100% profitability, effectively navigating the transition while ensuring uninterrupted operations.
Building a Strong Foundation for Program Success
Role: Project Manager
Client Type: midsize nonprofit
Project Summary: I developed a comprehensive improvement plan for a nonprofit program to reduce the risk of corrective action and potential loss of funding. The plan aimed to improve communication, promote team collaboration, establish an efficient data collection and tracking system, and effectively manage the program budget to optimize resources. I also created a change management plan to ensure staff buy-in. As a result, $20,000 cost savings was achieved, and an 80% improvement in program performance within six months. This success led to a 71% increase in funding in the first year and set the stage for sustained growth.
