Case Study — Miguel’s 8‑Week Workflow Acceleration

Role: Engineer, 6 Years’ Experience

Challenge

A sluggish approval pipeline put key customer deliverables at risk, stalling timelines, and inflating costs. Miguel spent valuable hours chasing updates instead of building new features.

Action

With Gotara’s tools and a confidential business coach, Miguel mapped each approval touch‑point, and rolled out a shared workspace with twice‑weekly “green‑light” checkpoints. Over the following 8 weeks he tracked cycle‑time data, tightened escalation rules, and refined the workflow until the faster process became business as usual.

Results

“By treating approvals like any other performance metric, we turned a chronic delay into a competitive advantage. Now approvals land within 24–48 hours, which used to take weeks, I send 50% fewer follow‑ups, and my day‑to‑day stress has dropped dramatically.”

Leadership Development, Minus the Guesswork

Designed for individual contributors, our 8-week program builds the confidence, skills, and habits that drive sustainable, measurable results.
