Business operations consultant responsible for improving the performance of commercial sales and service operations in the western US.Within this role, a colleague and I co-created a "do-it-yourself business improvement system". Rather than tell district managers on what they needed to do to improve - we created a system to train them on how to do it for themselves. The popularity and success of this business improvement system spread like a grass fire across 100+ north American locations and then internationally to Europe, Asia and Latin America.
