Crushing Rework
Rework is the enemy of speed!Are you tired of working nights and weekends to hit seemingly impossible deadlines? Do you believe your project is 90% done and then remain at 90% done as you find yourself knee deep in defects? Are late projects and excessive rework the norm? Is more time spent in rework than innovation and value creation? If so, you’re not alone! Thousands of organizations, just like you, struggle with rework as it sucks the joy out of engineering.
There is a better way…an exceptional way
At Exceptional Difference, we’re committed to empowering elite engineers, teams, and leaders to manage rework and reclaim the joy of engineering. Our Crushing Rework offerings include comprehensive consulting and experiential learning, which includes talks, tools, workshops, and experiences. These offerings help you understand the relationship between speed, quality, and value, your cost of quality, the impact of rework (both financial and effort), and the power tools of quality. From there, we will help you identify strategies to reduce and prevent rework. We will help you reclaim ownership of your speed to value and foster a culture that crushes rework for good!
Exceptional Difference Offerings
Talks and Tools
Talks such as Streamlining Success: Rework Reduction, and others will help you gain an understanding of rework, its relationship to quality, and how it is impacting your daily life. Any of our talks can be brought to your organization and customized to your audience. We also have the book, Lead With Speed, which was written by Exceptional Difference’s award-winning author, Alan Willett.
Experiences
Crushing Rework Experience (CRE) is a transformational and immersive experience that leverages readings, dialogs, labs, mentoring, and on-the-job application as it enables the cohort to learn and retain the information as they apply it to their organization. CRE covers all topics addressed in the workshops plus more! You will improve quality, improve your bottom line, and dramatically learn how to reduce rework as you embrace the mindset and toolsets for success.
If your budget or time constraints requirr an abbreviated version of CRE, we suggest either Crushing Rework Boot Camp (CRBC) or Crushing Rework Deep Dive (CRDD).
