“The purpose of this letter is to show my appreciation for the work David has done with my organization. David is always in tune with the pulse that drives our business. He has the foresight to allow my management team and staff to come to logical conclusions in creating solutions for performance improvement. He does not use the typical “consultant-eeze” which can often upset the rhythm of a growing organization.
During the time that David worked with the Taylor Group, he introduced the following three methods: 1) System of Work, which mapped our processes, identified control points and created a method for tracking and monitoring workflow; 2) Task Matrix Management, which helped employees understand roles and responsibilities in relation to the System of Work; and 3) 5W-2H Project Management, which helped us organize and complete projects on time. David facilitated meetings and asked the right questions enabling us to extract and analyze pertinent information to diagnose constraints within our System of Work. David’s enthusiastic way of getting people motivated and his methods and tools have improved our performance throughout the entire company.” – Jim Taylor, President-Taylor Group Insurance https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamestaylor5/
