John S.
Operational Problem Solver - Implementing Quick Creative Solutions
As an operational consultant, my job is to make your life easier and your business run smoothly. I learn your industry and company's uniqueness to help you identify the foundational business structures to increase your efficiency and automate menial tasks. I will work with you and your team to uncover sources of friction and implement processes and technical solutions. All solutions will be shaped to you, your current and potential future team. All processes will be maintainable, measurable and provide your team insight for the future. I have experience partnering with companies across diverse industries. I have recently worked in the consumer goods, software, marketing, training, law, real estate, manufacturing and non-profit industries. The first step is to break down your company or issue into its foundational parts through an Operational Audit. The audit allows us to understand how you adapted the foundational parts, the dials you can access to make a change, and their effect on your business. Through interviews, process investigation, operational research, and financial review, we will learn and document your systems and resources. This analysis will be the guidance to prioritize the operational work. Project management tools such as Asana, Monday, and Clickup have become the foundational tools for remote work and working with talented, geographically diverse teams. I help your team set up tools like these to fit your organization's culture now, grow with you in the future, and integrate with the rest of your tools and systems. By training, I am a rocket scientist and systems engineer. I have had the privilege of working on some of the world's most complex engineering systems throughout my career. I apply this experience to every problem. These principles of systems engineering will guide me as I analyze your organization. By focusing on the core of the business, I can quickly learn about your industry and product. My career has exposed me to the operations of companies from two employees up to 100,000. I have managed a 55 million dollar division with 150 employees and the day-to-day of my entrepreneurial ventures. I am an extremely quick study, love to learn, candid, open, and self-aware. These things, combined with my diverse experience, allow me to provide straightforward, rapid results in any industry.
