🕐 Exec time reclaimed: 7–10 hrs/wk
30 days after meeting redesign + clear DRIs

💲 $120k–$180k annualized savings
Controlled overtime variance + trimmed low-ROI contractor hours.
Annualized from 60–90 days of data.

📉 Cycle time ↓ 22-28%

Measured over 90 days after WIP limits + tighter handoffs

  • Revenue leakage — Discounting, scope creep, overtime/contractor drift.

​

  • Projects drag — High WIP, aging work, slow handoffs between teams.

​​

  • Fuzzy accountability — Overlapping roles, approval bottlenecks, unclear decisions.

​

  • Data ≠ decisions — Crowded scorecards, no owners, no red/yellow each week.

​

  • Process & tool sprawl — Outdated SOPs, duplicate boards, no source of truth

​

  • Right people / wrong seat — Strengths misaligned to scope; execution drags.​
