The details

Workfacta has assisted Thomas Foods’ Executive Team in adopting a better cadence and more efficient, action-focused processes.

Anthony Stewart, Thomas Food International Group CFO and COO, says:

The platform allows our Executive team to check anytime for what’s new and how everything’s progress; it gives us greater visibility.

Administering the team and meetings is much less labour-intensive. Workfacta gives us an efficient way to prepare agendas, write minutes, assign and account for action times.

The fact everything’s in one place is really helpful.

Increased Consistency

The interactivity of Workfacta means I no longer have to wait until our meetings to give updates or put ideas on the table. I can add items whenever I want throughout the cycle and check-in to make sure things are getting done. The Executive Team can communicate and share information as needed.

Whilst it took some modification to the platform to achieve, Workfacta has also effectively supported our overall governance process which is an important function of our Executive Team.

Clearer Focus in Meetings

During our meetings, Workfacta harnesses our focus on what’s important. It’s a neat way to discard the peripheral things and come back to the important things we agree as a team to discuss.

It also reminds us to regularly come back to that critical conversation about our over-arching priorities.

It forces us to focus on what’s important.

Better Accountability

By using Workfacta, our agreed items are in one system, responsibilities are allocated and close-out dates are agreed, so there’s nowhere to hide.

Workfacta has improved our ability to set realistic plans and deliverables by facilitating and enforcing discipline among the team.

The best things is, Workfacta puts our action list front and center.
