Frank Voehl
Ed is an exceptional leader and visionary, a voracious reader and writer who embodies the spirit of the project environ in which he is operating. More importantly, he sees clearly the Road Ahead, and is able to anticipate issues and motivate those working with him to extend themselves beyond their norm in order to accomplish a common vision. Unlike most visionaries, Ed doesn’t just tell people what to do, but often gets in the trenches with those around him. He is a strategic thinker and respected internationally as an original type of Statistican having a legendary bandwidth, borne of study and successful application. He is the legitimate "real deal", pioneering the explosion and integration of TQM into Six Sigma American industry, and becoming a guide through the evolution and transformation of strategy and application to the present. I highly recommend Ed to all who may have the need for his special and unique brand of services, both strategically and statistically.
