In addition to increasing time on-task, we typically find that field forces can improve the quality and speed of their work as well. To do this, we coach extensively on performance measurement, management and improvement. We enable these improvements by helping clients bring complete transparency to operations management, so everyone knows what work is assigned, and completed, each day. We help put in place systems to ensure that individuals are accountable for performance and managers are active problem-solvers and coaches. We coach Supervisors or Field Managers to reduce their own administrative workloads, become proactive coaches to their teams, drive performance and embed continuous improvement into their crews.
