WFM and capacity
Forecasts, staffing demand, service outcomes and day-to-day planning.
ASSIGNMENTS
Practical support for difficult operational decisions.
Three ways to tackle operational challenges. You stay in charge of the business. REM takes responsibility for the agreed assignment.
Talk to Roger01
01 Understand the issue
Costs are rising. Staffing plans fail to match actual demand. Retention is falling short. A supplier meets its KPIs, yet service is still suffering.
Before changing teams, processes or systems, we need to understand what is causing the problem.
I examine the data alongside what happens in the operation. You get a clear assessment of the likely causes, the evidence behind them and the next steps worth considering. If the evidence is weak, I will say so.
02
02 Pressure-test the decision
You have a business case or a proposed plan. Does it stand up to scrutiny?
Whether it involves a new system, outsourcing, automation or staffing, I review the assumptions, challenge the business case and identify risks or alternatives that may have been overlooked.
You receive an independent view of the options and risks, with a recommendation you can use before committing.
03
03 Deliver the change
You know what needs to change. But the business still has customers to serve, people to manage and targets to meet.
I can take responsibility for a defined part of the change, work alongside your team and keep delivery moving.
We agree on the deliverables, milestones and handover at the start. You know what is progressing and what still needs attention.
04
When a different approach makes more sense
A WFM review focuses on demand, capacity and staffing. Interim leadership is different: I step into a temporary management role with agreed responsibilities.
The right approach depends on what the business actually needs.
CLEAR RESPONSIBILITY
Clear responsibilities and a defined outcome.
You remain accountable for the business
Your business, your people and your decisions remain your responsibility.
REM owns the agreed assignment
I take responsibility for the agreed work, report on progress and risks, and hand over something your team can act on.
EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE ASSIGNMENTS
Where my operational experience is relevant.
Contact reduction and automation
What drives customer contacts and when process changes, self-service or automation make sense.
Retention and commercial outcomes
How customer conversations and performance management influence sales and retention.
Partners and outsourcing
Clear accountability, partner performance and the link between contractual KPIs and day-to-day service.
Customer Operations change
Operational change that requires coordination across teams and has to work in practice.
What decision are you facing?
We can discuss the issue and decide whether REM is the right fit.
