Background:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago in leadership at a Fortune 500, a team member brought up an issue of concern. They noticed some discrepancies between what was supposed to be billed to clients vs what was actually billed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Problem Investigation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked the team member who brought it to my attention if they\u2019d look into this more, so they can provide some concrete examples and estimation of impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team member was able to produce data showing that a subset of clients on a specific billing plan weren\u2019t being billed set up fees correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I partnered with corporate billing team to confirm the results as well as confirm the issue didn\u2019t exist with any other billing plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Problem Resolution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I created a task force compromised of Product Managers\/Directors, Development, Corporate Billing, Corporate Finance, and Management to alert them of the issue and put some short\/long term solutions in place, ensuring input\/requirements from each party were gathered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The task force I led was able to save $470k in set up fees with the short term solution put in place. A long term solution was discussed and the project was handed over to the Product Management team to ensure completion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a bonus, the map we created of all the billing plans and how they are handled was useful for future reference for all parties involved.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
