Lean Process Transformation and Software Solution

The work allowed Eva to look at how processes can be more effective and efficient using lean thinking, the journey was relatively painless as Neil engaged the team very well and was able to make a dry subject a fun/dynamic learning environment. Neil didn’t follow a script and was able to pivot effectively in communication style and program content to match the audience he was talking to. Communication was excellent and we process steps were made clear.”

“Neil has been working closely with the KND team to create a workable and achievable plan to move us forward. They have ‘handheld’ when required and taken a back seat when it was evident that we were confident in driving the next level of the process. Their advice along the way has been invaluable and they have been available at all times to respond to our questions.

“Gippsland Water engaged Go True North to assist in our analysis and understanding of our current maintenance delivery service. The analytical model utilised and data driven decision making has assisted Gippsland Water in further driving significant value out of its outsourced maintenance service and has had the added benefit of providing a line of site to further opportunities to both drive further value and improve our customer outcomes.

Neil has helped us achieve our business goals, clarity of systems requirements – and has been phenomenal with stakeholder engagement. Why wouldn’t”
