Welcome to the Continuous Improvement Blog

My initial intent with this blog is to document insights, tips and advice on the topic of  Continuous Improvement (CI) which we’ll define as the ongoing effort to improve products, services, or processes.

First an introduction.  Let’s start with the professional stuff.   I’m currently employed as a Director at a leading management consulting firm, Clarkston Consulting.   You can also read about my background at my LinkedIn profile.

In sum, I have spent over 25 years working within the management consulting space, have served in multiple leadership roles for several leading management consulting firms, including two of the “Big Four.”  My background is in Industrial Engineering, specializing in quality and I’m a certified Lean/Six Sigma black belt.  The focus of my work has been on operational excellence, business transformation and facilitating organizational change.   I’ve written a number of articles on the topic of continuous improvement methodologies, specifically, lean, Six Sigma, and Theory of Constraints.   The list of these articles is in the “Publications/Presentations” link below with links to those available online.

On the personal side, I’m originally from Toronto, Canada and currently live in Atlanta, Georgia with my wife and family.

I hope this blog will help you gain insights into these areas and help you become more successful.
