"It uncovered hidden value that helped us compete against declining prices. We created new profit centers and gained customers."
Craig Tucker, Creative Director, WILX TV
The workshop covers techniques that work for any product, service or industry. Regardless of the size
of your business or current situation you will find practical methods to achieve results you desire.
Here are just a few examples of results of other customers.
Health Care
QuadraMed, faced a serious crisis. Even though they were the market leader their flag ship product cost
so much to maintain that they could not afford to sell another copy. The company had tried to grow by
mergers and acquisitions but that just made the situation worse. Their existing products and way of
delivering support was too time consuming. They were stuck.
In just 4 months of using our methods a small team inside their organization:
- Delivered a new version of their product in ˝ the time and budget of previous versions
- Brought software up to new federally mandated standards.
- Increased share value by 500% over the next two years
- Created two completely new revenue streams
- Reduced support costs by 75%
"The method helped us break the world record for single day fund raising twice, $4.3 & $6.2 million"
Walt Bolthouse, Organizer Ron Paul Presidential Campaign
Government
In 1997 Mark Frazier was brought in to oversee a project for the
United States Department of Justice. Government projects are
complex beyond all reason. Effective change, especially in Washington D.C.
can seem like science fiction. The entire culture is designed to prevent
productivity and innovation.
The project was to design and develop the Immigration Naturalization Service’s
global finger print tracking system, a combination Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
and Work Flow Application. The system was deployed in 200 nations with a development
budget of $35 million and annual production budget over $250 million.
The Immigration Naturalization Service is one of the oldest and most complex
agencies in the United States Federal Government. Founded in 1891 there is
bureaucracy that's developed over generations. Even in this environment some
fabulous results were possible.
Again in only 4 months these accomplishments were achieved:
- Reduced maintenance costs by 50%
- Improved reliability between INS field offices and FBI
- Established clear migration path between old system and future web based systems
- Identified $5 million in excess annual expense
"We found 5 businesses models that benefited from file sharing."
John Hoffman, Creator of BitTornado P2P Software
