The Hidden Cost of Inefficiency

As a small, family-owned machine shop, we were looking to find ways to increase our efficiencies in order to become more profitable, while remaining competitive in todays manufacturing environment. We brought in Fischgrund Consulting and they have been a pleasure to work with. After a detailed audit of our operation, we now have a realistic structured plan as to how to accomplish our goals. We have already seen real improvements in our shop communication, inventory control and on-time deliveries. Thanks to Justin and Fischgrund Consulting, I believe we now have the blueprint to becoming a more successful and stronger company into the future.

Justin is one of the best around at using and helping others to adopt a lean and iterative approach to building software-based solutions to real-world (e.g., not conference room) problems. He was instrumental at Dick’s in creating and launching the ShoeRunner customer device – a breakthrough in in-store shopping for sneakers. Justin is technically skilled and emotionally intelligent. I recommend him highly.

Justin was instrumental in our project to product mindset change over a multi-year journey. He understands the WHAT, but continually validates the WHY, to achieve greatest possible outcomes. I highly recommend him for any business and/or technology transformation challenge you may face.

In addition to being a highly effective and results driven PM who was able to deliver meaningful products for our Store Operations teammates, Justin played an integral role in elevating the broader teams’ skills for stakeholder management. Justin understood the importance of bringing key stakeholders along as his product team engaged in new ways of working, including launching Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), and more deeply integrating UX learnings into their roadmap leading to stronger product and feature adoption.

A highly versatile e-commerce leader, Justin combines his expertise and organized approach to get things done! He effectively navigates persistent change, streamlines processes, and solves complex problems. His work consistently maximizes conversion and profitability.

One of Justin’s standout attributes is his expertise in implementing a Six Sigma mindset and lean product principles. His commitment to efficiency and process optimization has had a tangible impact on the Fulfillment and Order Management team’s operations. Justin’s strategic thinking and meticulous approach to problem-solving have resulted in streamlined processes and improved overall performance….His innovative approach, commitment to excellence, and proven track record make him an invaluable asset to any organization.

From the first day I started working with Justin at Dick’s Sporting Goods it was apparent that he was passionate about not only building a great product but developing an innovative experience. Justin’s diligent research and keen eye towards data insights provided the team with unwavering confidence in any decisions he made. Justin embodies all the qualities of a true leader in the product management space and I am proud of the work that we were able to complete together as a team.
