Systems Efficiency
Are You Keeping Up On Maintenance?
Think of systems efficiency like a car engine. You get your best gas mileage when all parts of your car are optimized to their individual levels and smoothly working together for the car to run. If not, your gas mileage suffers, unexpected and costly repairs randomly surface, and the full mechanical breakdown lingers. Have you planned for those costs and productivity impacts? Let the systems and processes do the work. Increase your efficiency, not your blood pressure.
Are You Fine-Tuning?
As anyone knows, keeping up on car maintenance is critical for the fundamental workings of a car. The same holds true in business. Tending to your current level of efficiency is a must and fine-tuning to your next level of efficiency is critical for growth or one day, when you least expect it, your engine won’t work.
Time For More Performance?
Perhaps time has passed and you’ve outgrown the current engine. Maybe the new year version is catching your eye. Or, maybe you just want more efficiency and power, so you trade up or add high performance tires…you get the idea.

Unique and Rare Systems Efficiencies
You’ll find I possess a uncommon set of skills and practical experience from being on many sides of systems and processes, as a programmer, analyst, end user, liaison and executive. This gives me a rare perspective into identifying operational barriers, gaps and opportunities, as well as integrating powerful systems and process efficiencies in non-disruptive ways that generate an average 18:1 ROI.
CRM / SFA Expertise
Of special interest may be optimizing your SFA or CRM systems. I have worked with more than 13 different systems in a full range of systems development lifecycle as noted below:

Approach & Philosophy
The approach I use is simple and straight forward. No games, no hidden agendas, just pure, real solutions designed to generate results quickly. As a Practitioner, my role is to guide others in ways to bring the next levels of efficiency and effectiveness to their work. I blend art and science to diagnose, resolve and prevent dis-ease in business through conventional and alternative efficiency and effectiveness techniques. You’ll find I bring fact, humor, structure, play, and humanness in guiding you to the next level of efficiency.
Getting Started.
To get started, let’s talk over what’s going on, where you see barriers and opportunities for the next level of efficiency and effectiveness. Typically, within 10 minutes, I am able to evaluate whether or not I can offer some guidance, whether its tactical or strategic in nature, and ballpark your investment and the timeline. If it’s of interest to you, we’ll dive a little deeper and take it from there. If not, no harm no fowl. This is not for everyone and there is typically a level of discomfort for some moving to the next of efficiency. It always subsides or clears the way.

Business Efficiency
The nature of business is like a chess game, moving this piece here, that piece there, constantly changing direction and maneuvering to a goal. And, the goal of every business is to optimize for maximum efficiency to make money. In today’s climate, the most competitive companies are the most efficient ones. What’s Your Next Move?
Forecasting Efficiency
Forecasting efficiency in a business is like the instrument panel in an airplane. Every gauge has its optimal position and collectively they tell you how well the plane is flying. What are your gauges telling you? What if the optimal positions of your gauges are off? After all, there’s no auto-pilot button in business.
Employee Efficiency
We humans are a goofy group just trying to survive each day, some thriving, some gladly unconscious, others winging it – it’s the nature of the beast. All species have a hierarchy, ways of order designed to ensure survival. A business is no different, but how does a business work as a species? What brings out the best in your species?
