Dave is one of the top Lean "Transformation" consultants in the Lean Community. Dave's background in unique amongst Lean consultants. Mixing personal hands-on Lean experience with previous Senior executive (P&L) responsibility enables Dave to effectively guide senior management toward a "meaningful" understanding of Lean and how to use Lean to specifically drive P&L and Balance Sheet level impact. Dave has worked both domestically and Internationally in sectors including: Oil and Gas, Department of Defense, Traditional Manufacturing and Service. When it comes to "brownfield" Lean Transformation, Dave's capabilities encompass all phases of a Lean Journey (Engagement Models, Executive Support, Structure for Lean and Lean Implementation) and all dimensions of a Lean Transformation (Information Flows in the Office, Material flows in the Shop, Product Development, Product Introduction, Finance, Supply Chain, Sales and Operations). It is without hesitation that I fully endorse My Goodman for not only his knowledge and experience with Lean, but more importantly for his experience and ability to (1) Guide Executives through a Lean Implementation and (2) Structure a Lean Implementation to support a Lean Transformtion ... with success measured by P&L and Balance Sheet level metrics.
