Ken Schroeder
By far in my opinion, Asim's best strength is client management - specifically, attention to detail in meeting client needs. This was demonstrated in the roll-out of Vale's capital project management system to Base Metal's worldwide. Asim and his team worked doggedly to understand financial project information per site, ensure it was properly captured in the system, and finally to ensure it was effectively communicated to senior management for decision making purposes.

It was a pleasure to work with Asim. Asim bought to our team his experience with systems analysis and design. I was impressed with Asim's ability to easily understand the process and accurately and quickly identify critical factors. Asim was able to share his work with colleges and make a complicated subject easy to understand. His work helped the company save money and apply critical resources to the right areas of the company.

The fundamentals of "Analyze and Improve" are Operational Improvement and Management Systems Implementation. Where Operational Improvement aims at addressing the immediate problem or opportunity, Management Systems looks deeper at systemic causes. Using a unique and proven improvement / problem solving approach, these two are combined in one process flow, with bottleneck (constraint) identification as the cornerstone. Analyze and Improve specializes in the integration of data driven analysis, bottleneck identification and management systems (as a standalone solution or as part of a fully integrated process) supported through a balanced approach of teaching, coaching and project execution with the ultimate objective of meeting the needs of our clients http://www.analyzeandimprove.com/ Show less
