Prodsol Client Testimonials

HEALTHCARE

"The work done (and the speed at which it was done) really impressed us, particularly (Prodsol)'s ability to understand the issues.

Compliments like these are as scarce as the Moa in the health sector."

Ian Pipe
GM Radiology, South Auckland Health

HEALTHCARE

This was a competitive situation with one of the "big-six" (at the time!) consulting firms.  They had had two people working on a solution for over 7 months and Ian was not confident that they were going to deliver.

We chose to present recommendations within a week - to synchronise with the competing consulting firm's delivery date.

We found a way of nearly doubling clinic capacity.

The competing company took another 5 weeks and found a 4.5% gain.

SOFTWARE

"In addition to solving known performance problems, Prodsol identifies and resolves core issues that the organisation is not yet even aware of.

I recommend their services unreservedly and welcome the opportunity to confirm these comments in person."

Dave Slomp
MD Extra Mile Technologies

SOFTWARE

I did some work for and with Dave when he was in the telecommunications industry - and then again when he had started his own manufacturing software development company.

The solutions, in both cases, resulted in a the decimation of lead time (the telco one reduced the remaining project duration from 13 months to 3 months and $7M to $360K and the second from over a year to 5 weeks).

The latter resulted in another career change for Dave - one that he has negotiated very successfully.

IMPORT|EXPORT DISTRIBUTOR

"Prodsol’s methodology is highly effective.

I have seen it in action and it definitely works."

Martin Jones
GM Crusader Distributors

IMPORT|EXPORT DISTRIBUTOR

This company was in the gaming industry.

We interviewed a manager and a staff member as well as Martin - and were able to find a simple change in culture that resulted in a dramatic improvement in both financial performance and staff and volunteer satisfaction.

INSURANCE SALES

"Prodsol has tools and techniques for enabling proper understanding of business or personal challenges and then finding solutions to them, even when the problem seems almost impossible to solve or to solve in the time required or with the resources available."

Wayne Johnstone
Insurance Company Manager

INSURANCE SALES

Wayne and I worked with his team to improve distribution sales of his company's personal insurance product portfolio.

After a 5 week trial across 5 client bank branches (in which sales improved dramatically) the company's board decided to bring the project forward and roll the training we developed together out to the remaining 172 branches.

Similar gains were secured across the other branches - and were still evident a year later.

HEALTHCARE

"Prodsol achieved more in two weeks than all the other firms put together."

Gary French
Orthopaedic Surgeon

HEALTHCARE

We were able to reduce patient visit duration substantially and free up clinical consultant capacity by a similar amount.

One of the biggest achievements was to enable a far higher level of inter-disciplinary alignment within the clinic.

Gary's comment was against a back-drop of over a dozen internal and external consulting attempts in recent years

UTILITY SERVICE PRICING

"I didn’t think it could be done!"

David Howell
Chief Executive: Metrowater

UTILITY SERVICE PRICING

We devised a solution to the problem David's organisation was facing that resulted in him being on on the TV news every night of the week before we started, as the result of legislative changes that affected water bills.

David set us the challenge of finding the optimal pricing structure - that would create the least dissatisfaction across small and high-usage users.

We found a different way of looking at it that totally satisfied all customers and the matter dropped out of the news immediately.

INSURANCE

Prodsol has helped me and my organisation achieve exceptional results - on more than one occasion and in different arenas.

The outcome has always exceeded my expectations.

I highly recommend Prodsol's services.

He's been the unique position of account-managing multiple clients that Prodsol shared with top-notch (in many cases world class) consulting experts - so he had deep insight into both the client situations and their responses to the dramatic improvement concept.
