Testimonials
Celestica
"I have worked with Karl during a business re-engineering project and since we came from similar backgrounds I found him very open, honest, direct and "to the point" kind of person, I enjoyed our work immensely. Rather than being a consultant, he became a colleague, shared the frustrations we had during the project as well as the achievements.
His knowledge in operations, especially in Lean Manufacturing was quite extensive, but he could also provide input regarding the strategic issues as well. Altogether, quite a well rounded, likable, approachable, humorous, and non intimidating type of consultant, which is a rare trait nowadays.
I would have him on my side anytime and recommend him to anybody looking for a ally with the traits listed above.
You will not be sorry.
- John Guven,
Director of Global Financial Systems and Processes - Celestica
Major Global Base Metals Company
"I have had the experience of working with several different consulting outfits. What distinguishes the KCB consultants from the other outfits that I have worked with is as follows: a) They bring a disciplined, well thought out process to the task at hand, b) They nevertheless conduct themselves in a practical manner, and c) It is clear to me, more so than other firms, that their first priority is to make the client successful in his/her endeavour, they have a very results oriented focus."
- Laurence,
Corporate Comptroller.
Smelter Business Unit
"We retained KCB to perform an operational review covering a substantial part of our processing plant. In the past several years we had achieved significant productivity improvements and felt that another set of eyes would be beneficial in moving to the next level of performance.. It was also key for us, from a sustainability perspective, that our people be intimately involved in all aspects of the review. KCB brought an objective, disciplined approach to this assignment and worked very effectively to engage and develop our people. We are now well down the path to achieving a 10% improvement in the efficiency of the converter aisle."
- Smelter General Manager
Alcan
"Alcan Primary Metals Group has a world-class sourcing and procurement program. I engaged KCB to help me develop a better understanding of our supplier and plant relationships and how we could enhance those relationships to our mutual benefit. The reason I selected KCB was because of their senior level resources, their clear commitment to act in our best interests, and the additional value that I perceived they would bring to the table. They were a pleasure to work with and delivered on all counts."
- Greg Courts, Manager Strategic Sourcing
