Utilising a Kanban for Stock Management WBT worked with a small team to help them develop and implement an approach to stock management that saved time, space and money.

Bart Siwek – Genomic Surveillance Operations Lead – Wellcome Sanger Institute

“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with WBT Consultants. Not only did they provided the Sample Management & Portering team with expertise in regards to streamlining of our processes, but also inspired individuals to look for areas of potential enhancement in all daily tasks.  WBT offered Lean workshops, laying down the principles of continuous improvement, covering Kanban system, 5S, RCA, Variation and Performance Measures.  Their Consultants passion for a Lean way of life combined with exceptional ability to effortlessly share knowledge and experience has changed the way the team and I operate and tackle challenges. The whole experience has changed how I think about work.”

Cristina Ariani – Genomic Surveillance Operations Lead – Wellcome Sanger Institute

“WBT consultants were essential to the success of the Covid-19 Genomics Surveillance Project at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. By bringing continuous improvement into the culture of all teams involved in the project, we have been able to deliver unprecedented numbers of high-quality genome sequences of Covid-19 to the British Government and the scientific community. WBT drove considerable improvements on turnaround times from more than 19 days to less than 3 days and provided fundamental counsel at important decision-making instances.”

Celebrating a case study from one of our client teams, this time for the Spatial Genomics team at the Wellcome Sanger Institute.

Here is what the head of that service had to say..

“There are many benefits which I have noticed from this work with WBT — the confidence in the team and in the team leader is amazing. Spatial is no longer something I stress about. I know they are doing the critical thinking and improvements for themselves and they are just on top of things now.”

I was listening to an inspiring local entrepreneur last night, who told the story of how coronavirus has impacted his coffee business.

I heard how, faced with these unprecedented times, they had 

• managed to pivot the business to digital channels to sell online
• make charitable donations of their product to local health and care establishments
• how revenue was now at pre-pandemic levels using the digital channels  

Literally all in the space of a few weeks.  I was both inspired and full of wonder…

I wondered why… Why did it take the coronavirus to cause this rapid change?  Why had these new ways of working not been developed alongside their traditional selling channels? 

This guy was so inspiring and full of energy it was clearly not a lack of effort or planning on his part.  The massive impact on all businesses has meant lots of people have had to stop, think and design new ways of working.   

My experience over the past 15years is that stopping and thinking critically, even for a short while about what your business does and how it adds value is vital, stopping those wasteful activities is also vital to create space for growth and responding to challenges.  

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself how many of the things you do are adding real value to your customers?  And how many are not? 

Have you calculated how much time and money you may be wasting, on those non-value adding activities?  

Have you calculated the value of missed opportunities to grow/change?  Simply because you are too busy to think critically.
