I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how much I appreciate the value Josh has brought to this process. When I first took on my new role I knew it was going to be a lot of work getting the boat turned in the right direction. I had the vision to see where I wanted us to get to but lacked the experience to formulate a tactical plan to get us there. Implementing 5S helped me see how we would achieve the physical organization but this past week with our focus on strategy I feel a weight lifted or pressure release for the first time in nearly 6 months. Josh is always a pleasure to work with and does a fantastic job training for the purpose of handing off the responsibility to myself and my team to own.

The Effective Syndicate was the right choice to help us with our Supply Chain. The Coach led us through a Value Stream Map from order to cash. We identified current state and future state with a detailed roadmap of how to get there. The Coach was very knowledgeable of supply chain, business processes, and lean tools. He left us with an executable plan by task, with owner and due date. We were able to get this done and are getting the return. We have reduced claims by over 50%, and productivity is up 30%, which allowed us to bring on more capacity without adding people. All this was done by removing waste from the process. The Effective Syndicate was definitely the right choice.

Our Coach from The Effective Syndicate led our leadership team in such a way that we were able to open up, which brought honesty and vulnerability – breaking down barriers and solidifying our team. Great content, great outcome!

At the start of our training we had no official documented daily interaction with our employees. Through learning the Daily Management System (DMS) our management team now has daily interaction, and there is mutual accountability between employees and management. The DMS gave us a jump start on our Performance Excellence training and made us very comfortable with the transition. We get regular comments from the PE trainers that most plants don’t have a DMS and how effective our DMS is.

We had an idea that has surfaced and fallen away on and off for the 17 years I have worked here. During the 4th engagement, our Coach took us through an exercise that finally got enough people willing to try it. After 17 years of my lobbying for this idea, we finally got the chance to try it after only 4 months of working with The Effective Syndicate. So far, the idea is working great, and I don’t think we would have gotten here without the excellent facilitation and coaching.

The Effective Syndicate, utilizes an extremely sensible approach to the sessions, stimulating individual contribution and providing “real world” examples as a method to relay the learning’s and messages.
