THE PLANNING PRINCIPLES IN THIS BOOK DELIVERED IN THE REAL WORLD
As we accelerated our growth, we began to feel real strain across the business. Multiple channels, increasing demand, and a high volume of offline workstreams meant our teams were being pulled in all directions. Some departments were calling for more headcount, others were looking to backfill attrition, and lead times were creeping up — all pointing towards the need to recruit, but instinctively it didn’t feel like the right answer.
Having worked with you across several businesses, I knew the value you bring. We brought you in as a consultant to help us create the foundations needed to support our next phase of growth.
You quickly cut through the complexity, simplifying how we think about work and introducing clear processes that gave us a true, data-led view of demand and capacity across the operation.
Crucially, prior to your support, we didn’t have the ability to accurately forecast service levels such as PCA. We now have a clear, forward-looking 6-week view, giving us real confidence in how we manage demand and capacity. Off the back of this work, we’ve also been able to reduce headcount while improving performance — a powerful outcome that speaks to the impact of the changes implemented.
Thanks again for your support — it’s been hugely impactful.
