Drawing on my years of experience as a practitioner, consultant, researcher and teacher of Lean methods and culture, I have developed a unique learning program for Lean management.  The program provides the fundamental knowledge and skills that business owners and corporate frontline managers need to build their organizations and teams in a way that outperforms the competition, grows a committed workforce, and creates a less stressful and more energized working environment.  In developing the program, I have taught and mentored more than a thousand entrepreneurs, executives, managers, and professionals in industries ranging from retail and food service to health care and professional service.
After spending 10 years as the owner and CEO of a wholesale business, I began developing the program in 2009 in my MBA course in the Huizenga Business School entitled Lean Entrepreneurship.  In 2017, I published my foundational book, The Essence of Lean: A Superior System of Management.  Since then, I have been conducting executive education classes, workshops, and webinars for owners and managers (SCORE) as well as for quality improvement professionals (ASQ). The most recent addition to the program is the Lean Management Playbook, a comprehensive online course which supports the learning of numerous practical techniques and the opportunity to try out the techniques in a series of guided field trials.
