"I noticed that, due to the checks and balances we had at work, we were going through far too many hoops to get the job done effectively. I inquired as to why we had all of these, and my superior didn't know. So I kept asking around, and it turned out we had all of these extra steps in place as a result of a person who left the company six years ago. The more questions I asked, the more I realized this was all in place due to one problem employee. I came up with a way to ensure quality without all the extra steps and did away with them. This increased productivity and improved morale."

"We were outsourcing our medical billing, but the company we had a deal with wasn't properly addressing our aging accounts, and we had quite a lot of uncollected balances. I teamed up with our leadership, and we collectively figured out a more sustainable way of bringing our medical billing in-house and cutting back and resolving all of our aging accounts. In six months, we collected or cleared up 20,000 of unbalanced and uncollected balances."
