Services
I'm brought in to work through the problem with you, not to produce a report. It starts with a conversation.
Speaking and training
Bringing the same ideas to your team or your industry, in a room instead of a one-to-one engagement.
- Conference sessions and executive briefings
- Workshops on specific innovation topics
The Assessment
Every company is different, so I don't start with a fixed answer. I spend time with you and your team to understand what's really going on across your products, your plant, your people, and your customers. Together we find where I can add the most value and agree on what a project should look like. It's how we get to know each other before either of us commits to more.
The Project
We take on the opportunity that matters most. That might be a product that needs its edge back, a new product to develop, costs that need to come down, or a team that needs to work better together. I look at the whole chain, weigh the engineering and business sides together, and stay with you while the changes are put in place. Scope and outcomes are agreed up front.
Ongoing Partnership
Once the first results are in, many clients want to keep going. That can mean building the skills inside your team so this becomes how you work, or keeping me alongside your leadership team as new product decisions come up. The goal is progress that lasts after the project ends.
Speaking and Training
Conference sessions, association talks, and executive briefings. Workshops and trainings on understanding customers, screening new ideas, mapping how work flows, and people-centered leadership.
