Hear about Claude’s Impact

“Claude was hired by our public workplace insurance company to help us implement a continuous improvement management system. Claude knew this was going to be a major culture transformation for our organization. We started with a Model Cell approach, developing the daily management system in one area, then spread throughout the organization, while also developing a strategy deployment system and guiding us on how to conduct process improvement events. Claude worked with us to experiment, adapt and learn how best to empower our entire organization to solve problems, improve our processes and align on adding value for our customers. Claude’s personal coaching with the Executive and the Central Improvement Team was invaluable. He was persistent and patient. With his guidance, we were able to implement, adapt and sustain the continuous improvement system. Personally, as a member of the central improvement team, I valued the opportunity to work with Claude on a daily basis. It was not always easy, change is hard, but he never gave up on me or the mission of organization.”

“Claude’s approach begins with ensuring you have a clear and specific vision for what you intend to accomplish, and an iterative and comprehensive approach to continuously progressing toward this(these) goal(s). A-XCELLENCE’s approach can be applied from top to bottom in any organization. It integrates deliberate reflection and learning into all phases of implementation and daily operations. This results in a “no blame” culture of learning and experimentation where employees are encouraged to continuously innovate and improve their work processes. In our experience, this greatly enhanced our employee engagement and the drive higher performance. I would highly recommend engaging Claude and his team for your organizational needs.”

“My experience with Claude Bwanka and A-XCELLENCE has been nothing short of transformative. Over the past year, Claude has not only guided me through the intricacies of team building but has fundamentally shifted my approach to leadership. Rather than pseudo- lead, I’ve learned to empower my team by coaching them, providing them with the tools they need to succeed and stepping back to let them lead. This shift in mindset, facilitated by Mr. Bwanka, has resulted in remarkable growth and impact within my team. His emphasis on continuous and intentional feedback has been instrumental in fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone seeking to elevate their leadership and team dynamics.”

“As an emerging leader, it is easy to get lost in the day-to-day management of programs and application of technical knowledge. Engaging with Lean/Operational Excellence has provided structure for my thoughts and equipped me with tools to guide my team. Working with Mr.Bwanka is akin to forming a partnership that enables you to accelerate your leadership.”
