How I help . . .
Reflecting on my years in corporations I found the most fulfillment when I was brought in to help solve problems using an outside perspective. One example that comes to mind is a request to visit a manufacturing site in Trinidad. The business was struggling with profitability and couldn’t put their finger on it.
Through that engagement, the realization that island culture and approaches to procurement were at the heart of the issue. That experience and many others like it have given me an outlook to ask “why” more more time than is typical to get to nuanced issues. Then the exciting part starts – how to solve them!
