Read this Interview with Adam Lawrence, from PI Partners, one of our Speakers, for the BTOES From Home.

 
BTOES Insights Question: What is your primary goal in your job role at the moment?
 
Adam Lawrence Answer:
I am the founder and Managing Partner for Process Improvement Partners LLC. My mission is to engage and empower teams to solve complex problems in a sustainable way.
My top priorities are:
  • Build awareness of the Wheel of Sustainability through speaking, writing, and engaging with organizations so that they can apply the Wheel to their business imperatives.
  • Support my clients as they implement the Wheel of Sustainability for their operational excellence efforts.
  • Help teams solve critical business problems and win. Winning means they have met or exceeded all of their objectives. I am excited to share the Wheel of Sustainability with the BTOES2020 audience.

BTOES Insights Question: Are you providing all agenda topics, or would you like us to conduct research in the critical challenges and future trends facing your target audience, and craft the agenda.

Adam Lawrence Answer:

  • Recover from the pandemic, refocus, and reinvigorate business improvement efforts. Many businesses have narrowed their focus to trying to survive during these unprecedented times. The truly great businesses are investing time and resources to tackle their most critical problems and build managing systems to sustain their solutions.
  • Drive empowerment and engagement of employees to continually improve business processes. The Wheel of Sustainability is a system designed to support this critical effort.
  • Leverage virtual and in-person engagements to drive improvements in safety, customer service, productivity, quality, and cost.

BTOES Insights Question: Describe in title and bullet point form the top three trends or developments driving change in the specific sector(s) you work in.

Adam Lawrence Answer:

  • The use of virtual tools has exploded through the pandemic. We must learn how to balance their use with more traditional operational excellence methods.
  • Operational excellence must be owned by those who do the work. The Wheel of Sustainability was developed in support of this premise.
  • The customer experience must be enhanced in a way that drives loyalty. Customers must feel safe, heard, and cared about.
