I've spent much of the last 25 years learning how Key Performance Management and Lean works, mostly through trial and error. For the last 10 years I've had to study both systems so I could teach the the concepts to hundreds of people.
I've been through hundreds of plants all over the world, witnessing the best of the best and the worst of the worst. No company does all of Key Performance well but some do pieces radically better than others. I've taken those "fractional best practices" and pieced them together for you in the modules below so you can skip the decades-long learning curve.

Key Performance Foundations
Performance is the key to unlocking your team's potential, but most teams don’t actually know how to measure it, manage it, or improve it. This module builds the foundation: the right indicators, the right tools at the right cadence, and the right behaviors. If you want to turn the key, start here, and learn from someone who has lived it.

Kaizen: The Power of the Idea
Kaizen isn’t about big projects or heroic fixes, it’s about small ideas that compound into real transformation. I’ll show you how to build a culture where improvement becomes a habit, not an event. Expect simple tools, practical stories, and a few laughs at the expense of overly complicated consultants.

Lean: Not-so-Common Sense
Larry Culp is famously quoted as saying that Lean is “common sense, vigorously applied”. Taichi Ohno is famously quoted that “common sense is always wrong”. Both are right. The concepts of Lean are simply proven counter-measures to your most challenging problems that have taken decades to test and perfect.

“His session struck a great balance of practical leadership insight and text book fundamentals. Our team walked away motivated to improve. Several said it was the most relevant lesson they’d heard in years.”

“Tom brought the GE transformation to life in a way that made it accessible and energizing for our entire senior team. The stories, the clarity, the straight talk was refreshing."
