SUCCESSFUL FIRMS "JUST DO IT" TO GET FAST RESULTS ON DIFFICULT PROBLEMS.

The Hands-On Group proves it is better to work fast and decisively to solve turn-around issues.

Gotha, FL--Jack B. Harrison's "Hands-On Group" specializes in dramatic, tangible results in a very short time. "We start with the premise that most companies don't like consultants. We go in, get the job done, get results, and don't waste their time hanging around," Harrison said.

Hands-On's highly direct method evolved into what has become known as the "Rapid Impact" approach. "This unique process allows, actually forces, the rapid transformation of traditional manufacturers to World Class Practices," Harrison said. Hands-On isolates and advantages "the teachable moment," the point when people and teams have a pressing business need to develop new skills. It is at these times that organizations are most able to make needed, rapid changes.

"One of the first thing we do is have people clean the area. They remove anything that doesn't directly pertain to getting their main job done," Harrison notes. This simple act helps managers and workers focus on important issues without the psychological distraction of peripheral concerns.

At other points in a project, Hands-On implements their "Rapid Impact Blitz" technique. Education, demonstration, and implementation all take place within the extraordinarily short time of three to four days." The method is specifically designed to MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN in an area of manageable size."

Typically two seasoned professionals are assigned to a project, working quickly in a concentrated fashion while spending only four days per month on the site. The Hands-On Group's no-nonsense approach has become a star of business improvement efforts. Successes include a wide range of companies including both large and small factory sites in many industries. Their client list reads like a "Who's Who" in modern manufacturing.

Recently, Hands-On worked with a metal producing client. Four 4-day blitzes led to $2.2 million in annual savings for the client. This was in addition to an impressive $17 million inventory reduction in just 7 months.
