"We have used Hotwiring to drastically reduce the amount of inadequate communications that are exchanged between the many departments in our production facility. In our short experience, we have improved quality, reduced downtime, and started to rebuild the trust that has been missing in our organization. We can clearly communicate our expectations and intentions to other departments and individuals. There are no gimmicks in Hotwiring. It cuts to the chase of what it is you're really trying to accomplish, and how you're going to make that happen."
Jason Alexandar, Production Manager

"The most important issue that can be resolved with Hotwiring is improving communication between parties. I've noticed that just telling someone what you're doing and how what they do affects you has a profound effect on your working relationship. If that were done on a total scale the results could be astounding."
Amy Westfall, Human Resources Manager

"What makes Hotwiring unique is that it doesn't allow business as usual. We typically go through our days giving very little thought to the process. Going through Hotwiring made me look at the process I use to get things done. It highlights weaknesses in the approach and allows the person to see how they can make it better. Some things you don't even realize are a problem until you can step outside the process and really look at it. Hotwiring asks you to look from the outside with a different perspective before you can begin to look inside."
Greg Swanson, Manager

"With Hotwiring, we stopped spinning our wheels and actually started moving toward our goal. There were a lot less communication errors. Everyone seemed to be on the same page. Everyone knew our specific goals and what had to be done to achieve them. Personally, I took responsibility for our project being completed even though I was not the one who had to perform most of the individual tasks. Once I accepted this role, I felt more powerful to affect the outcome of our project."
Glenn Johnson, Software Design Engineer and Project Manager
