How Rust-Oleum Transformed Daily Operations and Meetings with Visuant
At Rust-Oleum, operational efficiency isn't just a goal, it's built into the daily rhythm of the business. In a recent webinar hosted by Competitive Solutions Inc., Brian Vance shared how their team has integrated Visuant to drive performance, improve clarity, and drastically reduce time spent in meetings.
Making Problem-Solving a Daily Discipline
One of the most notable shifts Brian described was the evolution of problem-solving from a weekly checkpoint to a daily practice.
“Problem-solving has become part of our daily process. It’s no longer something we just look at weekly,” Brian explained.
With Visuant, teams at Rust-Oleum can quickly assess performance at every level, escalate issues as needed, and ensure the right people are involved at the right time. This structured approach not only prevents bottlenecks but also keeps teams aligned and accountable.
Turning Meetings into Action Sessions
Meetings are often cited as a drain on productivity, but not anymore at Rust-Oleum. By leveraging Visuant dashboards and focusing conversations around red (underperforming) metrics, the company has cut meeting times nearly in half.
“If a metric is green and has stayed green, we don’t waste time discussing it,” said Brian. “We focus on the red metrics—what actions we’re taking, what needs improvement, and how we can get that metric back to green.”
This simple but powerful change has brought new energy to Rust-Oleum’s Tier 2 meetings, which have gone from 45–60 minutes down to just 30. The result? Meetings that are shorter, more focused, and entirely action-driven.
A Culture Rooted in Metrics That Matter
The success story from Rust-Oleum is a great example of what happens when performance visibility is more than just a report, it becomes part of the culture. With Visuant, the team has transformed how they communicate, how they solve problems, and how they make decisions.
Whether it’s reducing meeting time, clarifying accountability, or aligning goals, Rust-Oleum’s experience showcases the power of a system that keeps performance front and center without overcomplicating the process.
