Process improvement and automation

Aimed at improving productivity and reducing costs, I’ll help by analysing your processes, recommending improvements, and implementing them. Your organisation consists of many processes enabled by people and technology; for example your H.R. processes. Identifying where process steps may be streamlined and implementing improvements can make a significant difference. Depending on your organisation, you may want to implement AI to improve effectiveness, or perhaps your aim is to reduce repetitive tasks required of your employees. See the Mailchimp article about my process improvement, which helped ANU get 5 million downloads. I can help you too.

Customer experience

Customer experience (CX) is about optimizing your customer experiences. I help by collecting, analysing and reporting on qualitative and quantitative customer feedback (e.g. survey data via Qualtrics, and Google review data analysis). I then aid in improving CX through process improvement and employee awareness. Government departments and businesses of all sizes may benefit from a CX focus. Contact me to discuss how I may initiate or further your CX program.

Data analysis and market research

I’ll help make sense of your data. You provide your data and objectives, and I’ll derive meaning aimed at your stakeholders. Whether you want to identify customer segments using your sales and Google Analytics data, or you need help determining how to improve engagement with existing or new audiences, I’ll assist. I use Python, Excel, R, and other data analysis tools to deliver findings from qualitative and quantitative data.


Looking for training? I offer workshops and classes tailored to your needs.
