Rob Parsons is a Senior Industry Advisor at Purdue Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP). He possess expertise in process improvement, strategic planning, organizational development, management, consulting and 14 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I reported to Rob as a new engineer right out of school. He was a great first boss and he possesses great leadership qualities. Rob was an exceptional mentor. He took time to explain "the how and the why", not just merely "the what" to do. And he knew how to provide crystal clear instructions to his employees. Also, he has a good sense of humor that made him loved by all of his employees. Over the past 25 years, Rob and I have kept up with each other. And I know he also has kept up with others that he has worked with over the years. That is a testament to the type of person Rob is." and "I've known Rob Parsons for over 20 years and have consistently found him to be one of the smartest, most insightful people I know. And when I say he's smart, I mean the reliable, productive kind of smart where a person actually knows things. Things like how to analyze situations and produce REAL solutions -- not just trendy jargon -- that make problems go away, processes work more smoothly, and profits much more likely. On top of all that, Rob is one of the most personable, easy-to-work-with people on the planet. I highly recommend that you find that out for yourself."
