A Leadership Consulting and Team Development Company

Great leaders can fail when they fail to adapt.  LR5 works with leaders who’ve been kept in the dark about driving accountability and performance in the modern environment. Leading remote and hybrid teams in this post-COVID landscape is a challenge we haven’t encountered. Leaders become overwhelmed and frustrated trying to create an operating system for growth.

“We have been working with SmartProtect for the past two years, and their AI prediction model has been a game changer for our operations at EAVES Ambulance. By using predictive call volume data, we were able to develop a new dynamic scheduling approach that significantly reduced overtime costs, minimized staff burnout, and improved overall staffing levels.

The SmartProtect team has been nothing short of fantastic, responsive, collaborative and always willing to tailor solutions to our specific needs. Scheduling in EMS is inherently challenging due to constant unknowns, but AI-driven prediction has proven to be an invaluable tool for maximizing the impact of our limited resources. We highly value our partnership with SmartProtect.”
