• Developed visual boards in all of the sites to drive short interval control to front-line staff and achieve results

“Ulendo was responsible for delivering a 5-month Continuous Improvement engagement… across 4 states. He was highly results oriented and his commitment was second to none – driving our business units to stay on track, enabling them to deliver well in excess of the agreed target.

He displayed a very high degree of commercial acumen, as well as understanding and empathy for the challenges of our business. Ulendo was able to build strong rapport with our teams and shared his knowledge with them through ongoing coaching. This was a real benefit for us as the teams can now leverage this and deliver sustainable results… I strongly recommend Ulendo for similar roles.”
