Robert Małecki

Why does Robert cut out waste?

Robert founded Business Pillars Consulting in September 2016 in Kraków. He was tired of watching small business owners sit at work for 12 hours just because their processes were failing. Over the last 14 years, Robert has gone from a machine operator to a consultant. He doesn't tell stories about visions. Instead, he takes a stopwatch and measures how many minutes an employee looks for a wrench or a specific invoice in the system.

His method is simple: find the bottleneck and unblock it. In 2023, he worked with 27 SME sector companies in Lesser Poland and Silesia. The average result? Recovered time of 4.2 hours per week for every employee. These aren't promises, but concrete numbers calculated 3 months after introducing changes. Robert believes a company should earn, not just generate unnecessary movement.

Experience from the floor and the desk

Before he began advising others, he fixed errors on the production line himself. That's where he learned that standardization is not bureaucracy, but a boss's peace of mind. Robert does not send 100-page reports. He acts starting tomorrow. If he sees chaos in your warehouse, he goes in with work boots and arranges a 5S system with the people. No fluff and no unnecessary PowerPoint charts.

• Has conducted 114 process mapping workshops since January 2018.
• Reduced document cycle time in a transport company from 9 days to 34 hours.
• Implemented simple scripts that save 1,450 PLN per month on invoicing alone.
• Helped 83 companies exit operational chaos and regain control over margins.

He can be direct. If a process in your company makes no sense, Robert will tell you straight to your face. He doesn't take every assignment – he refuses when he sees that the owner doesn't want real change, but only a magic wand. P.S. Robert always repeats that the most expensive hour is the one you waste doing something the customer doesn't need at all. You can book a 20-minute phone consultation to check where your money is leaking.
