What do managers do? The most straightforward answer that comes to mind is that they – well, manage. Although that’s not wrong, we’d like you to reconsider this thought for a moment. Because what if managers could take their task a giant step further and serve as guides to their teams, too? From reactive to proactive: be a guide Suppose you’re a well-meaning manager who…
In our last blog, we shared what makes us tick. Obviously, a ‘Why’ is always followed by a ‘How’ and ‘What.’ Therefore, we’d like to elaborate on those elements today. What is Texas Digital’s approach when helping customers achieve their organizational goals?

Better functioning organizations which achieve improved results: that’s what we strive for. Texas Digital aims to help its customers build their companies, so they can thrive and grow. Smooth and clear communication within and between teams is key in this regard. We believe that Visual Management is the linchpin, as one picture says more than a thousand words.

Wherever output and service levels are measured, you will find an organized department that needs to guide the entire process in the right direction. It may be any organization’s contact center, but it can also be a logistics company’s warehouse or distribution center. The important thing is to know where you stand at all times. How to go about it?
Happy employees perform better. If you think about this statement, it’s so logical that mentioning it seems superfluous. Unfortunately, it’s highly necessary to do so.

Because if employees are comfortable in their own skin and feel…
Recently, we visited a number of European countries, repeatedly encountering one common question: How do we retain highly skilled customer contact center employees? A fair thing to ask, as several media have reported that it’s getting increasingly difficult to have these much sought-after talents commit to your company.

By now, you have probably come to associate Texas Digital with Visual Management. That’s correct, because we support organizations with professional services in this field.

SLAs are nothing new. Virtually every company has them and tries to live by their rules. Traditionally, a wallboard is the tool which organizations tend to use to achieve this goal.
