CASE STUDIES

8-FIGURE IN NEW REVENUE

When Demand Outgrows Your TeamCost of the Problem
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a state help desk was handling roughly 1,000 calls a day with only 12 staff. Hiring alone wasn't solving it.
What I Did
I analyzed why people were calling, then designed the operation: a redesigned workflow, a triage system that resolves common needs before callers reach an agent, and a team structure matched to people's skills.
The Result
I scaled operations from 12 to 60+ staff as a statewide program. For a software development company, it became a new line of business generating eight figures in cumulative revenue during my involvement.

70%+ FASTER

Getting Customers What They Paid For, FasterCost of the Problem
Fragmented handoffs and duplicate data entry left customers waiting a long time for their memberships, and they complained.
What I Did
I traced how information moved through the organization, found where it was being duplicated, and connected the systems involved.
The Result
Fulfillment time dropped by more than 70%, and error-related complaints fell by about 25%, so there were fewer unhappy customers and fewer problems to resolve.

2 WEEKS → MINUTES

Turning Days of Manual Work into MinutesCost of the Problem
At a manufacturing facility, employees manually converted engineers' parts lists into vendor orders. In busy periods, the data entry took entire workdays.
What I Did
I found the pattern behind the repetitive work and built an automated workflow that turns source data into organized purchase orders.
The Result
Two weeks of labor became minutes, with fewer data-entry errors, and staff were free to focus on higher-value work.

HOW IT WORKS

1 - UNDERSTAND

Learn how your organization works today through conversations with leadership, staff, and vendors, plus a review of workflows, software, and data.

2 - DIAGNOSE

Find where time, money, and information are being lost: bottlenecks, duplicate work, manual steps, and disconnected systems.

3 - DESIGN

Build practical solutions around your actual needs, whether that's workflow redesign, automation, integration, or better use of what you already own.

4 - IMPLEMENT

Move from recommendation to execution, working alongside your team, vendors, and technical partners.

5 - BUILD FOR WHAT'S NEXT

Leave behind a system your team understands, can run, and can keep improving after the engagement ends.

Sometimes the answer is automation. Sometimes it's better software, or connecting the systems you already own. And sometimes it isn't technology at all. I'm not tied to any platform, so the solution fits your problem, not a product.

ALOHA, I'M DEAN

I've been a tech enthusiast since the early 90s, back when I was a kid learning to type and chasing the next computer game. Wanting more space for games, I came across the Hard Drive Compression tool in Windows 3.1. The entire drive got corrupted in that IBM PS/2. I took this lesson to heart: just because something is available doesn't make it a solution.That curiosity about how data works became a career. I earned my BS in Business Administration with a Management Information Systems concentration from SJSU. After college, I spent over 20 years in a variety of industries, including government, manufacturing, retail, non-profits, professional services, and technology.The tools kept changing, but one element remained constant: organizations perform best when they get accurate information to the right person at the right time.AI is the fastest change I've ever seen, and it brings a familiar temptation: powerful tools available right now that promise more with less. The solution isn't to slow down or stop. The solution is to move with precision so the right information reaches the right person at the right time. That's what I call The Art of Managing Information, and that's what I bring to every engagement.

What is inefficiency costing your organization?

You may already know where the problem is, or only that something isn't working.Either way, the first step isn't more software. It's understanding what's really happening.
