How Dan Could Begin Contributing

A first-90-days approach

Days 1–30

Understand, baseline, and identify

Learn the organization's current revenue, margin, and operating rhythm. Establish baseline KPIs for the areas selected. Surface the highest-impact risks and the most promising opportunities — the ones a weekly improvement program would pursue first.

Days 31–60

Prioritize and test high-value improvements

Focus on the opportunities with the strongest evidence and fastest path to measurable results. Test changes in a contained scope, measure against the baseline, and keep only what moves the KPI.

Days 61–90

Expand proven improvements and set the next phase

Scale the improvements that produced measurable results into adjacent areas. Establish the next 12-week phase of the 52-week plan, anchored to verified outcomes rather than assumptions.

Illustrative approach — the actual plan depends on the company, responsibilities, resources, and circumstances. Not a predetermined plan or a promise of results.
