Nathan N. is a Continuous Improvement Manager at State of Washington. Colleagues describe them as "In 2024, Bio-Rad Executive Leadership assigned me with a transformational project, one that required a workshop with Senior Leaders to breakdown an existing end-to-end business process and agree on a high-level ideal state. I was fortunate to have Nathan in my extended team. Acting as my workshop facilitation partner he helped me scope, design, prepare and facilitate this event. His deep experience in Process Excellence and his innate coaching characteristics were invaluable. Together we drove a successful event, with Nathan enabling me to focus on the flow of the discussion while he kept the team on track to deliver on our agreed workshop goals. Any team would be fortunate to have Nathan working with them to deliver on continuous improvement initiatives, and I hope I have the opportunity to work with him again." and "Nathan’s passion for process improvement is demonstrated by his experience, certifications, and his commitment to teaching. In his current role at Bio-Rad Laboratories as a Continuous Improvement Project Manager he provides education and supports a variety of projects across multiple business segments. He also hosts a Continuous Improvement: Community of Practice bi-monthly meeting, where he shares what the team is setting out to do, and takes high-level process improvement topics into ‘bite-size’ learning sessions, to increase awareness and build inter-organizational networking. I have had the privilege of learning from Nathan during a company-offered A3 problem-solving course and project. Nathan was instrumental in my ability to understand A3 problem-solving techniques. His mentorship and willingness to provide ongoing support allowed for the successful completion of a project with an executed solution. Most importantly, Nathan aligns with the strategic goals of the business, when working on a process improvement project. He is mindful of change management and the impacts of any operational changes and the need for ongoing monitoring. No matter the challenge you or your organization faces, I am confident that Nathan will be able to execute the proper methods for process improvement."
