We designed a tailored package of business improvement initiatives, one of which was to optimize the current corporate credit card program that maximized revenue-sharing schemes based on transaction size and volumes.
Janitorial Services - SUCCESS CASE
a) The world's largest 'Steel Mill Outsourced' service provider, operating in 40 countries worldwide, wanted to reduce the costs of their cleaning services.
b) Every location had a different provider of these services, with varying degrees of quality and pricing models.
c) The goal was to increase the quality of the work performed, consolidate providers and lower the overall costs.
A standardized model was developed and delivered through one single provider.
Overall, the program delivered a 28% reduction in the total cost of janitorial services, along with reducing the current number of suppliers to manage and pay.
Waste Management - SUCCESS CASE
a) A multi-site business in the USA and Canada, that had over 70 operating locations across many states and provinces, saw the need to improve on its waste management solutions.
b) As many local county councils and townships would only work with a single provider this did not allow the business to leverage spend and benchmark.
c) As this was a nuisance spend at every location, no work was ever performed to try and improve in this area other than local operational improvements such as compacting and segregation.
Programs were established that made the collection and management far more efficient, with different types of bins in place, some based on weight, others on volume.
Not only did they lower the overall cost by 22%, the company went from receiving around 70 invoices per month to 7 consolidated invoices with costs broken out by location.

“★★★★★ I had the pleasure of attending a workshop on leadership skills facilitated by CE. During the workshop, we covered a lot of ground in two hours. It was helpful to participate with a diverse group of people who included engineers, bankers, business owners, public health specialists, and information technology specialists. We talked about several aspects of leadership including communication, team engagement, and problem solving. The exercises led to lively discussions about leadership. I would highly recommend this workshop to people who would like a fresh approach to building their leadership skills.”
“★★★★☆ I had the opportunity to be part of on September 13th workshop. Unfortunately this was a very trying time for me as a manager and was experiencing a staffing crisis in my office. I struggled with how to keep staff and help them to be successful and not feel defeated. Your seminar was a huge inspiration and I am happy to say I currently have ALL of my open positions officially filled, and my office is on an uphill swing! Staff are smiling, they are positive, and they are eager to step in and help when needed. (Believe me when I say this was not the case just 1 short month ago!) I owe much of this to what I learned and implemented from your seminar. I look forward to additional training opportunities! I can’t Thank you enough- I LOVE seeing my staff smile again!”
“★★★★★ When I retired as President CE Leadership Group were an integral part of training and preparing our Leadership Team to support the new President. This was a major change for us. They broke down change to an understandable level and clearly explained the great opportunity that was on the way. As a result of working with them on this transition, our Leadership Team was ready to support and assist the new President from day one. We have now successfully transitioned our leadership and have moved on to planning for the future. The company is stronger today than it was when we began the training.”
“★★★★☆ The CE Leadership Group and classes have been great. The once-per-month, half-day classes give me an opportunity to brush up on my current knowledge and expand on new ideas to grow personally and professionally. It is refreshing to be in an environment of people who also want to progress beyond their current status quo.”
“★★★★☆ I used this class/exercise at a managers meeting with everyone in attendance including the owners. They all had agreed that their personality style was true to the outcome. Then I came up with a specific example and explained how I would approach each one of them differently based on their own personality. I also made copies of the exercise for the managers so they can have their employees do the same. Everybody learned how this technique gives the managers a “personality advantage” in any situation that they may require a discussion between the manager and employee, with increased productivity for all.”
“★★★★★ I enjoyed the the interactive discussion guided by Joe of CE Leadership Group involved all attendees in a way that allowed me to understand the perspectives of others and borrow techniques that others have found successful. I looked forward to the monthly meetings, as I felt empowered by what I learned each time. I still refer to my course materials whenever I need a reminder of positive techniques to use in my workplace. Since completing the course, I have been promoted and am leading a facility design project, working with other stakeholders, and it is a huge job!! I seriously keep my binder of class materials close at hand and recently when I interviewed a new-hire, I reviewed the section on interview questions to select some good ones. I highly recommend CE Leadership Group and this course!”

“★★★★★ A customer had a fuel issue. From what I learned from a previous topic, I apologized for the service breakdown then actively listened to the customer’s complaint. I worked with him looking for a solution to the problem, we found out it was a lack of preventive maintenance work that was the real cause, not a fuel issue. We gained customer for life and with a revenue of 30-35k per year.”
