improvement, we can help.
We offer four areas of expertise
to people and organizations.
Personal Development:
The U.S. military ads say it well, “Be all that you can be.”
And Nike coined the phrase, “Just do it.” We guide
individuals toward these goals. We guide them to eliminate
the clutter in their world which is preventing them from
improving or reaching their goals. We "lean" them. The
evolution? People who go through any of the processes
described below will become a dramatically more powerful
asset to themselves and their employer. We call it
Lean Power.
leadership development, including:
executive development
management
supervision
youth programs
customer service
salesmanship
time management
Process Improvement:
All the best and brightest and most skilled employees in the
world will struggle to perform in a business that has poor
processes. We channel organizations through process
improvement methods to effect improvements in quality,
turnaround, profitability, customer satisfaction, innovation
and waste. We have extensive experience in installing "lean"
processes. After installing "lean" processes commonplace
achievements are: Productivity gains of 20% or more, cycle-
time reductions of 30%, space reductions of 30%, quality
improvements of 40%, and waste elimination of 50%.
Usually these gains can be made very quickly.
Organizational Diagnosis:
Its difficult to know sometimes if your organization is well
balanced. Are the resources allocated correctly? Is there a
balance between innovation and following standard
processes? Is our leadership effective? How do our
business results stack up to others? Are we paying enough
attention to our customers? Too much? Based upon the
seven criteria of the Baldrige National Quality Program, our
D.I.A.L.O.G process gives you actionable answers. And
we know this information is vital. Fact: companies who are
aligned gain in value 5 times faster than those who aren't.
Strategic Planning:
Like the ship captain, an organization must have a chart. It
must know where it's heading, the obstacles in its way, how
to get there efficiently, and why it's going there. We act as a
catalyst for organizations and individuals to create powerful
and executable strategic plans. But we don't stop there.
We make sure that a one page copy reaches every
employee and that each of them knows and supports the
plan. The result is that everyone is headed in the exact,
same direction. And that's Power.

potential into full use. It's always

surface.
