Chrissy Vaccaro is passionately committed to process improvement, constantly exploring innovative ways to enhance efficiency and drive operational excellence. She came across Fermat on LinkedIn and was instantly captivated by its elegant design and exceptional execution. She wondered, “How could this be integrated into our company?”
“We began by laying out the entire process from the start, working through each step systematically. Next, we set out to determine how to integrate our licensed ideas into this framework; for example, what unique, 'Micky Mouse-specific' elements it might offer that we had not considered or that were not already available in the market. Finally, we explored how to incorporate these ideas into the technical version of our process.”
“You’ve been so wonderful in guiding us where we need to go and making the program better and better very day”
