As a supplier in the Aviation industry our business effectively came to a standstill. We started to focus on alternative income sources to keep us going and restructured our core business activities. We felt as if we were doing something constructive and it helped us to feel in control, when everything that was happening around us was out of control and this was very important for our wellbeing. As opportunities started to present themselves, we were ready for them and as things started to get back to normal, we were stronger, leaner and better placed to spring forward when required to do so.

LYNCH UNITED STATES star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "As Senior Director of Global Purchasing at Procter and Gamble we owned our sourcing methodology and managed the businesses in our flagship business units. Prior to Mr Lynch’s engagement, P&G had just failed in its efforts to install a Supplier Relationship Management System for a number of reasons – poor strategic partner selection criteria, cross-business unit disagreements, changing business needs, and a reward system that rewarded number of strategic relationships instead of number of appropriate relationships. Mr. Lynch’s approach dealt with the systems architecture, best practices, and tools to deal with these kinds of problems. Initially I felt this would be the typical consultant and training engagement, but as we got to know each other, it became a powerful strategic relationship. His concepts and implementation approaches were able to be tweaked to be good fit with Procter’s culture and his advice was so valuable that once the Corporate approaches were installed he became a resource for several diverse cross functional business units (Diapers, Feminine Protection, Health Care, Beauty Care, Fabric and Home Care, and Information Technology) to tailor his approaches to their unique needs while maintaining a common platform across the entire company. This helped us create an approach that was both decentralized and centralized without undue conflict. His intellectual capital about strategic fit between companies became part of our long term supplier innovation and supply base methodology, and also enabled numerous P&G/supplier Connect and Develop successes for new products. This engagement lasted for several years, even after my retirement from P&G. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-collaborative-excellence" Verified by Endorsal.io P.

PHILLIPS UNITED STATES star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Lockheed Martin - During my 4-year span working with Dr. Phillips, we employed his CX engineering frameworks, concepts and methodologies to great competitive advantage. During that period, He acted tirelessly to provide training, coaching and consulting to the many people involved in the new business capture process. The customer value propositions he created using his novel process of ‘becoming the customer’ were a significant factor in our capture teams’ winning about 85 of every 100 dollars that we bid on, and in some years achieving even higher numbers. This performance was substantially higher than my business had previously achieved. I attribute this directly to Dr. Phillips’ efforts which showed us new ways of thinking and interfacing with our customers. He supported complex new business capture teams composed of people with very diverse backgrounds both technically and experientially, never missing a beat in engaging them all, teaching them and ultimately resulting in their fully embracing his techniques. This had significant long-lasting benefits for the organization. He worked with us on some of our largest and most significant programs, resulting in several huge wins for us.

Coming from the manufacturing industry, efficiency in operations is a necessary requirement that we cannot simply live without. This organizational effectiveness manual mentions ways for us to not only prioritize and improve effectiveness in the organization, but to also do so through the use of effective strategies and tools. To begin with, the manual starts from how to perform analysis within the organization and how to take it forward from there. Analysis is a key point of discussion in all organizations today, and it holds just as much value for us. The important point to note here is that the manual takes you through the different steps of analysis for different months of the year. We first start with a thorough understanding of analysis techniques, and then move on to implementation and evaluation of the insights generated in the process. Ours is a manufacturing entity and it has hence suited us well to perform routine analysis based on the insights generated from this course manual. The analysis we perform have helped us unearth a number of minor and major operational flaws in our machinery and have also assisted us in finding the bottleneck – the slowest machine in the operational mechanism that dictates the time taken for a batch or flow. Besides the analysis, we have also found the implementation of ideas extremely useful. Our manufacturing facility is not short of ideas, but we are often found lacking when it comes to implementation of ideas. With these tips for implementation, we rest assured that there is no stone left unturned for proper implementation of ideas related to change in manufacturing processes. Our manufacturing facilities are a lot more efficient having incorporated the changes acquired from this manual. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-organizational-effectiveness/" Verified by Endorsal.io A.

It is easy for clients to identify with their services, they can see them, understand them and engage with them. Appleton Greene tenaciously sticks to what they know and do best, corporate training. This ensures that there is never any conflict of interests." Verified by Endorsal.io D. ARNOUD FRANCE star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "While we have used Appleton Greene bespoke programs on a number of occasions to great effect, it is always preferable to purchase standard (off-the-shelf) programs where at all possible, because they encompass a wider variety of users who have together all contributed towards fine tuning the programs’ efficiency and functionality. The more a program is used, the better it becomes given time. A good Appleton Greene program is like a good wine, tried and tested ingredients and perfected over a sustainable period of many years."

PATEL UNITED STATES star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Sierracin - This privately owned aerospace firm was established in the 1950’s and sanctioned by the US government as one of a select group of suppliers to the armed forces. The campus included research, process, and production operations, which expanded to a new Special Technology Group in 1990’s. Mr. Patel reported to the President of the Special Technology Group (STG) as the Senior Consultant responsible for supporting the commercial, military, and after-market business cells. His role as the leader of the teams in this group was to integrate all business cells to increase operational efficiencies and enhance our research and development standing within the facility and our clients. The site was re-establishing itself as a premier contractor to the US government and commercial airlines. Our experienced employees had retired and influx of new engineers and technologists that were hired did not possess the prerequisite project management skills to achieve this objective. The President of the STG (direct report to owner of Sierracin) introduced a site goal to improve upon this with project management methodology, site wide lean manufacturing training, green and black belt certification. His work enabled scientists, controls and robotics engineers, process engineering, throughout the design, plan, build, launch of product on 11 aircraft transparency production lines across 24/6 business cells for Boeing, Lockheed, Northrup, McDonnel Douglas, Airbus. The projects assigned were challenged by weekly government audits to ensure compliance to MIL-SPEC. Mr. Patel received a secret clearance to continue work with our military clientele to design processes, test methodologies and failure analysis, some of which were benchmarked at PPG Aerospace. His main contribution was to strengthen our governance structure by introducing operational and scientific discipline within the group by empowering and coaching to communicate effectively across business cells. https://www.appletongreene.com/acs-business-process-improvement" Verified by Endorsal.io P.

I have been through two mergers and this was by far the easiest. The program helped us to be and feel in control at every stage and this reduced the stress considerably. It enabled us to turn weaknesses into strengths and threats into opportunities and the organization was much better placed as a result. Anyone going through a merger should use this."

SIANO UNITED STATES star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "General Motors - Mr. Siano made many contributions over an extended period of time and brought a collaborative spirit to the work he did. He brought vision to a disciplined mind set and is a strong delivery tactician. One example of the many key accomplishments was the revitalization of a brand and supporting marketing programs that posted a 42% year-to-year sales increase while reducing the cost per sale by 38% in the first year and a 19% year-to-year sales increase while reducing the cost per sale by 26% in the second year.

The scope of activities included evaluating disposal options including backfilling the underground works to the construction of a new tailings disposal system. Alternatives considered included using solid waste disposal management techniques to the management of recycled process water. A detailed report was developed which discussed waste management economics, political constraints and which thoroughly discussed regulatory issues. Upon completion and acceptance of report recommendations consider short term and long-term economic constraints. A phased tailing pond design and construction program was initiated. Based on economic considerations and regulatory constraints, the existing dam embankment was raised.

LOPEZ CUBA star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "The Agriculture industry is usually consumed with time management. Everything has a predetermined shelf life. Interestingly enough however, Appleton Greene achieves time sensitive performance by slowing things down. It allows companies to implement and benefit from each part of the service process while working through the programs, instead of having to wait until they are completed. The result is that you do not necessarily care too much about how long the programs take to implement, because the benefits are being realized all of the way through." Verified by Endorsal.io J.

ANDERSON UNITED STATES star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt star-alt "Sheridan Community Hospital Foundation My work with this community hospital foundation has focused on board development, fundraising campaign support, and communication strategies. I was initially retained to conduct a community assessment regarding the foundation’s communication with their supporters and the community at large. The foundation staff wanted feedback from the community as to perceptions of the foundation’s effectiveness prior to launching a large fundraising campaign for the hospital the foundation supports. Based on feedback from the community assessment, my work continued with the foundation in a training capacity for the foundation board of directors. I worked with them to provide clarity as to their role in fundraising for the organization, as well as giving them tools and training to actively participate in large-scale philanthropy associated with the fundraising campaign. They are on track to reach their fundraising goal of $4.4M by June 30, 2021. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-non-profit-leadership" Verified by Endorsal.io Page load link Go to Top APPLETON GREENE & CO * Information * Our History * Mission * Offices * Back * Services * Corporate Training * Standard Programs * Bespoke Programs * Training Process * Back * Clients * Client Profile * Client List * Industry Sectors * Client Testimonials * Back * People * Consultants * Learning Providers * Appleton Greene * Consulting Companies * Back * Locations * The Americas * Head Office * United States of America * Canada * South America * Back * Europe * Europe * Switzerland * Back * Asia * Middle East * India and Pakistan * China * Japan * Far East * Back * Other * Africa * Australasia * Back * Back * Publications * Customer Service * e-Business * Finance * Globalization * Human Resources * Information Technology * Legal * Management * Marketing * Production * Back * Contact * Search Consultants 4.9/5 123 verified reviews & testimonials All 123 Endorsal 123 — "undefined" Endorsal testimonial Appleton Greene & Co is rated 4.9/5 from 123 reviews & testimonials.
