Welcome to A Taylor’d Design

Based in Woodinville, WA, I collaborate with you to provide hands on implementation and support to your business as you make ongoing improvements to your day to day operations. Rather than improving your business by trying to ‘fix’ everything all at once, be selective. Consider making small, low cost, and incremental changes. Typical projects to collaborate on include:

  • For large and small organizations, setting up a consistency across the organization for how you collaborate with others, service your customers, and work with vendors and partners.
  • Addressing bottlenecks, upgrading manual and legacy systems, and improving your overall system performance and reliability.
  • Migrating your legacy or manual processes to use appropriate current technology and best practices.
  • Staff augmentation for design, development, training, mentoring, and support.

What is meant by Ongoing Improvements ?

A key element to my way of working is ‘Ongoing improvements’. This recognizes that your Staff and Culture are important attributes of your organization. It has the following characteristics:

  • Philosophy: Continuous, incremental improvement.
  • Primary Driver: Recognizing the contribution of all employees.
  • Cost: Low, based on small, internal changes.
  • Sustainability: High; changes are ingrained in daily culture.
  • Speed of Change: Gradual and slow, giving staff time to adapt.
  • Key Benefit: Fosters a culture of problem-solving and empowerment.
  • Primary Risk: Is not a ‘fix all, as it may be too slow for urgent issues.
