Basic Services
Organization
To achieve success, quality must be prioritized from the beginning, and organization is the first and most crucial step towards it. It not only sets tone for the future but also helps in achieving other keys to success. Being organized is the foundation of being "setup for success." A crucial example of this is defining team roles and responsibilities.

With Slade, you can rest assured that your business's continuity and consistency will be maintained through proper documentation. We will identify your team's documentation needs and create them, along with a strategy to keep them updated and accurate.

Administration is a crucial aspect that showcases a company's dedication towards the welfare and contentment of its employees by providing them with all the required resources and beyond. It's imperative to acknowledge that this holds equal significance for remote employees too. Slade will work with you to ensure you employees are receiving the treatment the deserve.

Seeking a second opinion from an external source like Slade is a wise decision before making significant changes. This approach can effectively eliminate biases, bureaucracy, and personal interests from the decision-making process, ensuring a more confident and informed decision.
Physical Audit
Our comprehensive physical audits, also known as "mystery" or "secret" shopping, cover all aspects of the customer experience at retail, restaurant, entertainment, and other locations. Our team visits the location incognito and provides a thorough evaluation. Best of all, this service is completely free of charge.
Please note that Slade only preforms the audit and generally will not be involved in implementing a solution, unless otherwise specified. This service is only offered in central Florida.
Empowerment
In order to achieve success, it is imperative individuals take ownership of their work. Equipping them with the necessary tools and empowering them to utilize their skills is the most effective approach to boost morale and drive success.
Attention to Detail
The terms quality and attention to detail are sometimes used interchangeably, but it is important note that attention to detail is a subset of quality. This particular component places greater emphasis on accuracy of tangible elements such as documentation and communication.
Keys to Quality
Transparency
As consultants, we recognize the significance of transparent communication to guarantee excellence. It can be challenging for employees to articulate their grievances to their superiors without appearing negative, as they aspire to be collaborative team members. We offer an impartial perspective and stress the importance of valuing every piece of feedback.
Sustainment
Ensuring and upholding quality is imperative and cannot be circumvented by any means of shortcuts or quick fixes. It is crucial to instill a culture of quality within the team and make it a constant for all team members.
Efficiency
Efficiency is undoubtedly the most crucial factor in ensuring quality in various processes. By eliminating tedious and mundane tasks, an efficient process can produce the same high-quality output in less time, leading to happier and more productive employees.
Objective Analysis
At some point, everyone develops a strong attachment to their job, which can lead to subjective decision-making. To avoid this, we recommend using a data approach. Can we use data to support our decisions? If not, can we use hypothetical data to predict outcomes? Remember, there is always a solution.

Quality Is The Foundation
Of Growth
Slade was established to enhance the world's quality, one inch at a time. Quality is often evident to people involved in the day-to-day operations of a company and repeat customers, but it can be overlooked by executive and mid-level leaders. Negative feedback (constructive criticism) may not reach the appropriate person. This can be due to employees not being empowered enough or simply due to the necessity to maintain a positive culture by sweeping problems under the rug. Consultants offer complete transparency, including showcasing strengths and opportunities, but also identifying areas for growth and improvement. It's only then that true quality, and success, can be achieved.
