Will Litton Email & Phone Number

I currently lead my organization's lean transformation in our journey to create a culture based upon the values of respect and continuous improvement. In my role, I have pivoted from problem solver to problem framer... from hero to coach... from mercenary to missionary. It has not been a linear journey, especially given the challenges that arose with the pandemic. However, I see life as a continual learning process and deeply believe in purpose-driven work. Working in a small, community hospital requires me to wear many hats. I collaborate with our hospital president and executive team on how best to deepen and accelerate our lean transformation. I develop learning curriculums and provide education & training on key facets of the Toyota Management System. I facilitate and coach our value streams. This ranges from strategic alignment and planning to weekly status reviews. I also lead and coach front-line staff in utilizing lean principles as rapid tests of change in the form of kaizen (rapid improvement) workshops. I continually seek to communicate and promote our lean journey in the form of report outs, oral presentations, internal communications (e.g., newsletters), branding, and presentations at our leadership institutes.Previously, I served as a management consultant with over 15 years of experience in improving operational performance and achieving cost efficiencies. Certified Facilitator, Project Management Professional, and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.
