WorkOut

GE Work-Out Process

WorkOut is a time-tested process that will help you:

  • Streamline & simplify existing processes
  • Eliminate non-value added work
  • Quickly identify, prioritize & meet new business initiatives
  • Speed up decision making & implementation
  • Build an empowered, "ownership" workforce

WorkOut, developed at GE in the late 1980's, is being used with dramatic results at hundreds of organizations world-wide.

The focus is on fast implementation of measurable improvements with clear lines of accountability. WorkOut can help your organization become more lean, efficient and responsive to changing conditions.

Through the direction of leadership, critical problems to be solved involve those who are closest and key to solving and implementing solutions. 

WorkOut brings one to many cross-functional groups together to develop actionable recommendations to a business challenge identified by leadership as a priority for improvement. Robust action plans are tied to recommendations that, if approved by leadership, are implemented within 90 days.

The WorkOut process builds cooperation between functional silos and organizational levels, and increases morale by instilling values of excellence, involvement, and growth.

C.A. Schifman and Co. has been guiding the WorkOut process since the late 1980's. Since then we have brought the WorkOut process to many organizations of various sizes nationally and internationally.

We offer a complete scope of services from start-up and delivery of WorkOut, to building your internal capacity through training, to providing "WorkOut in a Box" manuals and templates for your existing internal resources.
