WRx APPROACH TO REMEDIATION:  WRx launches a value enhancement program and trains all department leaders in the use of rapid re-design tools (provided by us), WRx works with Leadership to set department targets and then work with individual leaders to achieve targets.

COMMON RESULTS:  Average reduction in expense/enhancement of value 6% of target budgets (annualized)
