What is the Lean Organisation?

Successful Lean organisations rely on a combination of tools and techniques, top down and bottom up, to ensure that their Lean activities are successful and most importantly are sustained and continually improved.

The key step that organisations fail to make is the move from the initial project based approach to a more systematic all-encompassing Lean system which touches all parts of the business.

In the 10 years I have known Neil, from Mars to GKN, he has developed a deep expertise in the Lean area. This is particularly the case re global deployment and “Lean in the Office” or “Lean Services/Processes”.

On a personal note, he is also fun to work with and always willing to help; I fondly remember Neil helping me out early on a Sunday morning and with a minimum of fuss!! His area of expertise is relatively rare and is a developing source of competitive advantage

Frank Devine, Accelerated Improvement

Neil is ambitious, extremely bright and a strong leader. His clear strengths are his business acumen, clarity of judgement and his confidence with managing his direct reports, his peers and his superiors. Throughout his career Neil’s has proven himself to successfully take on a wide range of challenging business objectives and execute them clinically. It is great to see Neil continuing his very successful career!

David Coughlin, Director and Owner, Homes Bought Fast

Neil has managed me indirectly as a Global Business Process Director since 2007. He is a very knowledgeable Global Lean Executive.
Not only his solid technical basis, but also his strong leadership skills, solid soft skills, his ability for coaching and his understanding of business in different cultural environments is driving GKN Driveline Brazil in our Lean journey.
With his support we not only understood the beauty of Lean philosophy but also how to create the basis for Lean Business Process deployment in Brazil.
If managing is achieving results through people, with involvement and strong leadership, Neil is doing it so far with outstanding results.

Dr Andrea Pampanelli EHS Manager, Americas

I enjoyed having the opportunity to work with Neil on a major project working on improving the Global Business Management Process for a major Automotive Division.
I found Neil to be very knowledgeable regarding the tools and techniques and approach to motivating the large multidisciplinary team involved in this work and flexible and adept in applying these skills.
