The RM Toolbox

Allow me to share two experiences that shaped my perspective on RM tools. The first occurred around 40 years ago during a short course atop a windmill.

It dawned on me then that effective communication and choosing the right tools for the job are crucial in any endeavor.

The second tale unfolded about 15 years ago in Singapore. I had extensive experience optimizing table mix in restaurants and offered suggestions to enhance their customer capacity. However, they dismissed my ideas, citing a labor shortage. This taught me a valuable lesson: while RM offers an array of tools, the true art lies in selecting the right one for the job. Thus, the RM toolbox was born.
