Transformations to Serve
Business, Employee and Customer needs

The same fabric, thread, buttons and stitches can go into a thousand suits, and each one can be different.

That’s because each person is different. The same is true of the lean approach to business transformation.

Even within an industry, culture, practices and values make each company unique.

Complex systems can be improved with simple changes, but identifying the RIGHT simple changes is itself a complex task. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Mastering lean takes being there in the CEO’s office. It takes meeting with middle managers. It takes sitting down with front line workers.

Ron Fardell has been there.

He has been tailoring deep changes in the way businesses do business for 35 years. He teaches, coaches and deploys lean principles and practices in industries as diverse as aircraft manufacture and mortgage lending.

A lean transformation serves business needs, employee needs and customer needs.

It is driven by the human need to contribute and to feel valued. It’s about personal and professional growth, learning and contribution that give deeper meaning to the paycheck.

 It’s one thing to have learned principles of lean. Ron has gained insights textbooks only hint at.

Here’s an insight: Symptoms of a problem are not the problem. They’re effects, not causes.

Here’s another: To find the problem, first pry at it with questions. Then listen. Go see what’s happening. When you can see a problem, you can solve it.

Ron’s inquisitive nature guides clients to genuine problem solving that boosts customer satisfaction and shareholder value. It stokes principles that drive ongoing success and culture that recognizes the value of every worker. The result:  a culture that always improves,  sustainably and continuously.
