The Executive Coaching program is designed to assist in the development of high potential leaders. Business executive coaching will ensure that your leaders achieve personal and professional goals that are necessary to deliver critical strategic outcomes. The program will allow leaders to set development goals, learn from mistakes, improve execution, and focus on getting results quickly. The process starts with an individual assessment and no-charge initial consultation. Once the program begins an Executive Development Plan (EDP) is developed to serve as a blueprint for all long and short term development activities and is the primary tool to keep the program on track. The program can be done in a virtual or live setting. 

Business processes are typically overlooked when implementing improvement activities. This  causes businesses to miss some of the biggest opportunities for waste elimination and growth.  Robinson Consulting Solutions, LLC works in collaboration with process owners and managers using various proven methodologies.  The improvement process starts with a value stream map to identify areas where they can improve accuracy, effectiveness/efficiency and then redesign those processes to realize the improvements. BPI is effective because it analyzes the processes and employee skills that could be improved to encourage smoother procedures, more efficient workflow, and overall business growth.

Many times manufacturing companies hire consultants to help solve operational issues.  This often leads to endless data collection, sophisticated charts, frustration on the shop floor, and confusion within the team.  Many times the team meets the “goal” without a direct improvement to the bottom line.  When questioned the expert usually says, “Even though the bottom line didn’t improve, it would have been much worse”.  Robinson Consulting Solutions, LLC works directly with your process teams in a very understandable way using the 5 phases of Lean and Six Sigma for solving problems.  The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle is used to track results and is an important part of the overall improvement process. An understanding and agreement of where the P&L will be improved is one of the main project deliverables and will be tracked as part of the improvement project.

Once the improvements to the process are achieved, it must be maintained and become part of the way business is conducted. Based on the process value stream map which includes the identification of critical “Y” outputs for each process, line capability and risk assessments, Robinson Consulting Solutions, LLC works with your team to develop an overall System for Management.  The system includes identification of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and data touch points that escalate issues and non-normal events to the appropriate level of the organization.
