Build it.
It all begins with an idea. I have prepared various project proposals and guided them through the investment process and to final completion.
This is an example of a proposal that was written solely by me. I researched the costs, produced the necessary drawings, and wrote the formal proposal.
My pride is that the final proposal was improved through working with the company’s stakeholders and receiving their input. It made the reason for the project more powerful.

Train It
New projects need a new vision that feels comfortable. Teams need to feel empowered. They are successful if the task meets their goals and aspirations.
Training and team-building is the most powerful way to introduce and grow new processes or new equipment.
I have led multiple teams using a wide variety of management philosophies and systems.
My greatest success has been using the TQM - Total Quality Management System. The teams at General Mills where I learned TQM was successful and powerful.
Instead of inventing a description, I will “borrow” this description of TQM.
