"“Mr. Lam consulted with a task force on streamlining and putting processes into place for a project that had been incredibly manual, labour intensive and complex. He was able to successfully navigate through complicated procedures, as well as work with a technical team to create a seamless ordering and requisition procedure. Mr. Lam worked with multiple teams located across Asia-Pacific and connected the right people at the right time to help accelerate the process. Myself and other members of the task force team found Mr. Lam to be highly personable and responsive to our (many!) questions and he took the time to thoroughly consult with the team to understand perspectives/frustrations and ultimately to come up with solutions, that have removed several non-value-added tasks to all of our roles. We are forever grateful!” https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-process-re-engineering"

M. Ashade
United States
"Infosys - While at Infosys there were 2 major initiatives that I championed that would be of great benefit to other clients. One was implementing a system that would help reduce our DSO (Days of Sales Outstanding). A key factor in this was change management which was to remodel our internal system and team structure while also working with the client and advising them on how to help us to become jointly aligned. Due to this, I was able to reduce our DSO which ranged from 65-120 days on a quarterly basis to approximately 45 days. This of course greatly improved our cash flow for a $100M+ Book of Business in our practice. I then was tasked with evangelizing this to our other practices to help with their DSO Improvements as well. The second Initiative was to help with our practice’s overall Account Management and Operations structure. This involved improving sales forecasting (Went from a 15% delta in pre-quarter forecast vs end of quarter booked business to less than 5%), Also due to improved Account Planning, was able to help grow a key account from $0 to $25M per year over a 2-year period and won an Account Management Award for this in 2013-2014 (Awarded to the top 5 out of 8,000 sales professionals company-wide). Was also able to improve our hiring practice which improved our net revenue loss of $5M per quarter due to not being able to staff client engagements to less than $1M per quarter. This was a 80% improvement that resulted in a net gain of $16M per year to our top line. https://www.appletongreene.com/acs-business-operations"

"The world has become a much smaller place. It is much easier for many people to travel and they do so for business and pleasure with increasing regularity. This has resulted in more international and less provincial thinking and corporate training within our organization needs to reflect this. It is no surprise that many traditional educational programs such as MBAs have become more international and enable students to study in two or three different international locations during their study terms. Online training has also encouraged international collaboration. However, at Appleton Greene, they have truly embraced this philosophy through it’s business partnering with hundreds of learning providers and consultants who all work remotely from a variety of different international locations and this has proven to be a masterstroke and consolidates their unique global positioning."

"It’s not just a one-time classroom setting. It was on-going. It was also with their peers and they had the opportunity to learn from each other. The biggest shift was the managers had self-awareness. It was the ability for them to let their guard down and say “ok, maybe I do need help.” Who is the manager I want to become? What does that manager look like? And how do I take the necessary steps to become it. The results have been really impactful. From the start we immediately saw that the way they engaged with their employees changed. They went from really stopping, listening, paying attention to what their employees was giving them as feedback. Whereas in the past they were just rushing through their day to get “their job” done as a manager, instead of saying my job is to work through my people. The staff was so engaged in growth mindset, they said we should do this in new hire orientation, they should all go through this. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-virtual-transformation"

Mr. Thomson

"Mr. Thomson assisted Helena Laboratories in introducing a diagnostic protein separation system to the hospital clinical laboratory that significantly changed a time consuming and long-standing labor-intensive process. Through complete automation, patient samples were prepared and separated in much less than time than traditional process and the lab technologist was free to undertake other tasks while the process ran. Not only was overall process time reduced, but the quality of the finished product was far superior to competitive, traditional methods and most importantly, the repeat rate was reduced to less than 1%, based on review by the clinical chemist and pathologist. Although the cost per test was higher, given capital purchase of the hardware and software to run the system, the payback period for a traditional laboratory was between 6 to 12 months, based on sample volume. The system was so successful, it was adopted by large private clinical laboratories where sample processing was in the 10,000’s per month. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-corporate-positioning"

"Any product or service is only as good as the support process which accompanies it. The Appleton Greene programs are well structured and well delivered, but it is the quality and availability of continuous support which makes the programs durable. Appleton Greene is excellent at developing and implementing time management procedures for program support. We appreciate that the time of qualified learning providers and accredited consultants is valuable and the strict guidelines within which support is provided enables us to obtain support whenever we need it, but it is structured in such a way as to ensure that it is always productive."

Ms. Jacewicz

United Kingdom
"Ms. Jacewicz successfully designed, procured, mobilised, and implemented service delivery model for the Siemens sustainability showcase building. “The Crystal” included cutting edge building management systems and associated “green” infrastructure that required re-think of traditional facilities and asset management concepts. At its core, the Target Operating Model design required the team to shift their focus from business function activities to cross-business functions delivery. Under the “One FM” umbrella, team members, regardless of their background shared knowledge about building management systems configuration, error thresholds and escalation parameters. Extensive training, knowledge exchange and participation in commissioning activities empowered the delivery team to take ownership of day-to-day activities in the round the clock service delivery model. Everyone’s engagement and shared interest to keep the building configuration parameters synchronised and balanced provided comfort environment for the occupiers and great customer feedback. The team commitment and collaboration strengthened implementation of asset management best practice methodologies in line with ISO5500x series. Enhanced training and gained knowledge provided skills for detailed planning of workflow and therefore permitted cost control and setting up strong risk management approach to systems failure. Thorough understanding of building systems and ability to analyse data and information from various sources improved operational decision making. Supported by asset verification and alignment of asset data, to set up asset management information system, improved physical asset performance leading to development of complex Life Cycle replacement strategy to ensure continuity of the building services and their configuration management. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-rapid-transformation-system"

"The Business Modeling program ensures that our business models are constantly reviewed and updated. It is just about the most important function of every business. As a Venture Capital company we were used to implementing the program with new investments. It never occured to us to continue implementing it within our successful client portfolio, but once we started doing so, our success rate and ROI increased substantially, because less was being left to chance. I would recommend this program to any business, particularly well established ones."

"Mr. Lynch has played an important role in my professional leadership development as CEO. I identified Mr. Lynch and selected him to work with our organization due to his wide expertise and global experiences. His work with me had significant impact on the performance of my organization, as well as the many organizations collaborated with pursuing competitiveness. First, Mr. Lynch coached us in building skills and competencies to be able to think strategically in a global context; be able to articulate an inspiring vision across cultures; and make wise choices amid complexity and uncertainly. Further, coached me in my role to put these competencies and methodologies into practice as I led global teams, built collaborative and dynamic networks and grew my organization and its leadership to expand across Canada and complete globally. Next, Mr. Lynch helped build and develop deeper competencies to build and lead collaborative networks to better provide strategic direction, facilitation, and the development of transformational frameworks. This work was undertaken with major industry leaders, many of whom were competitors. I was able to develop, through Mr. Lynch’s coaching, strong facilitation skills to develop collaborative approaches and solutions that built strong commitment and engagement among each of the stakeholders. And by addressing challenges through awareness building and innovation, we designed collaborative solutions and pilot projects to demonstrate and measure success and enhance capacity building; each of the projects saw higher than anticipated success. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-collaborative-excellence"

"We implemented the Business Expansion program through Appleton Greene across all departments several years ago. We realized that we had the market interest to achieve significant growth over a short period of time and we wanted to ensure that we were well prepared.

We still use the same multi-departmental process today."

"“As Innovation Director of Edokial, a desktop publishing and document dematerialization services company belonging to the Crédit Agricole group, I have set myself the strategic objective of greater control of the value created by our projects. We called on Mr. Auriach to select, personalize and infuse a method and tools for managing innovation projects with our employees. By exploiting this contribution, we introduced with our teams an innovative mail virtualization and routing chain for one of the group’s regional banks, resulting in a drop in the volume of paper exchanges by half, i.e. from 746,000 to 370,000 ply per year. We have also helped to optimize the operation of archive warehouses accumulated over several decades of another subsidiary, Locam, which specializes in equipment financing. These two initiatives are part of a portfolio of innovation projects constantly prioritized according to their challenges, their alignment with the innovation strategy and the dynamics of the ecosystem in which the group operates. The list of other initiatives includes, for example, the construction of a blockchain dedicated to collaboration between banks and notaries, the modernization of the customer base of a subsidiary or the capitalization of the experience acquired on agile projects. Very professional, pedagogical and efficient, Mr. Auriach allowed us to complete our know-how by transmitting an operational methodology and a new posture in the face of innovation and support for our customers.” https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-high-performance-innovation"

Mr. Belmont
United States
"Ambit Energy - The organization was the forefront on energy savings for struggling consumers paying for utilities. This business was a favorite provider for people that believed in what it offered. Obviously, many people were later drawn by its mission for helping customers save on gas and electricity: whereas developing customers. As an independent consultant, Mr. Belmont embodied the practice of informing consumers on how to save on a good utility plan: using preferable rates given by the company (for certain locations). Rates were compared to what the consumer was currently paying. It was a historic moment when gas and utility giants became deregulated: allowing small companies to become secondary providers. Customers had benefited from its services and a friend. Fortunately, this became an example of what customers favored: knowing that someone benefited from the plan as well. The application was practical. Teaching clients about the plan became easier: which indirectly increased the organizations client base. We saw savings after the first payment."

Mr. Thomson
Certified Learning Provider (CLP)
Canada
"Providing accurate delivery of radiotherapy to cancer patients is paramount to both their health and safety. MDX introduced a radiotherapy QA system, complete with hardware and dedicated software, that significantly reduced error rate and helped to streamline patient processing for daily therapy. The system provided 3D versus 2D representation of treatment delivery when captured by the hardware prior to patient delivery. This gave a more precise representation to the medical physicist when calculating associated dosage. The hardware could also be adapted to present in up to 21 planes giving even more definition of the delivery path by the radiotherapy system. System cost was also comparable or less than competitive hardware systems, which also did not offer dedicated software for review and planning. The result was an easily deployed, superior system that was partnered with the world’s largest radiotherapy treatment company."
R. Lynch
United States
"As Senior Director of Global Purchasing at Procter and Gamble we owned our sourcing methodology and managed the businesses in our flagship business units. Prior to Mr Lynch’s engagement, P&G had just failed in its efforts to install a Supplier Relationship Management System for a number of reasons – poor strategic partner selection criteria, cross-business unit disagreements, changing business needs, and a reward system that rewarded number of strategic relationships instead of number of appropriate relationships. Mr. Lynch’s approach dealt with the systems architecture, best practices, and tools to deal with these kinds of problems. Initially I felt this would be the typical consultant and training engagement, but as we got to know each other, it became a powerful strategic relationship. His concepts and implementation approaches were able to be tweaked to be good fit with Procter’s culture and his advice was so valuable that once the Corporate approaches were installed he became a resource for several diverse cross functional business units (Diapers, Feminine Protection, Health Care, Beauty Care, Fabric and Home Care, and Information Technology) to tailor his approaches to their unique needs while maintaining a common platform across the entire company. This helped us create an approach that was both decentralized and centralized without undue conflict. His intellectual capital about strategic fit between companies became part of our long term supplier innovation and supply base methodology, and also enabled numerous P&G/supplier Connect and Develop successes for new products. This engagement lasted for several years, even after my retirement from P&G. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-collaborative-excellence"

He was an active part of the business management team which consisted of sales, marketing, and finance managers of Dow. This team was responsible for running and growing the business. He assimilated well into the team. He was an instrumental part of the team in improving our business capacity that helped the company grow by over 300% in less than five years. He interacted well with all levels of personnel, from Dow executives to the people on the floor. We appreciate all he did to help us make the purchase of FilmTec the success it was. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-business-optimization"

Dr. Heft
Certified Learning Provider (CLP), Appleton Greene & Co

""We had the pleasure of working with Dr. Heft through the course and scope of a leadership development program that was launched to support high-potential executives within our organization. Dr. Heft served as an executive coach to program participants, working one-on-one with many of our top leaders, over a nine-month period and during a time of intense organizational uncertainty, ambiguity, and change. Dr. Heft’s approach, style and expertise had a direct impact on the success of the program and contributed to exceptional growth in program participants, resulting in high-retention rates of the leaders who worked with her and movement into higher-level leadership roles as organizational changes unfolded. Throughout the program, Dr. Heft helps those she worked with chart clear goals, identify, and remove perceived and real barriers, increase self-awareness, and improve mental clarity and resilience. One of the most impressive elements of the coaching Dr. Heft provided was her ability to incorporate brain-based science to help leaders understand their emotions and ultimately the way their feelings impact their behavior and decision-making. This was well-received by participants and different from what they’d experienced in the past, leading to rich insights on the part of participants and a positive experience that left leaders asking for more of what she delivered." https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-Behavioral-Science"

There are so many good sales generation, lead generation, telemarketing and after sales organizations now, that it just does not make any sense any more to do things in house. It is far easier to scale up or down whenever you need to, your costs are variable instead of fixed, so less risk and the AGC-SO program helps us to manage it all effectively."

"There is no doubt that we are becoming more structured in everything that we do since we started implementing Appleton Greene's processes. We started off with a program in our customer service department, but we have now implemented a variety of different programs within 5 departments. The programs are incredibly reasonble given what you are able to achieve with them. The consultants and learning providers that we have worked with are very professional, well trained and very personable. Good experience all round and easy to measure ROI."
M. Lopez

"The Agriculture industry is usually consumed with time management. Everything has a predetermined shelf life. Interestingly enough however, Appleton Greene achieves time sensitive performance by slowing things down. It allows companies to implement and benefit from each part of the service process while working through the programs, instead of having to wait until they are completed. The result is that you do not necessarily care too much about how long the programs take to implement, because the benefits are being realized all of the way through."
S. Maurin

"The Market Intelligence program opened up new markets for us that we never thought we would ever service. From our base in Miami we are able to service a large part of South America now, including Argentina, Chile, Mexico and mainly Brasil. We have also established a new distribution center in Sao Paulo. The MI program helped us to understand the different nuances of each market and the supply chain process that needed to be put in place. Companies spend and waste a lot of money when trying to enter new markets and when you consider the cost of the MI program, we saved an awful lot of money that would have been spent on clearing the path. The right information is mission critical."

We have changed from being a very good band into an orchestra."
