In The Western Mass. Business Show
3.3.18 Ira speak with LISA TOTZ of LT Consulting, who uses her talents as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and engineer to poke around inside of companies, to test the functionality of its processes and help the company improve productivity and satisfaction, reduce waste and redundancy, and better use the systems which they bought, but don’t take advantage of. Her love is to get people out of their day to day ineffective routines, change their minds about the challenges they face, and stay on course to reach their best target; rather than put a band aid on their perceived pains. She is also an Ironman Triathlete, so don’t think you’re going to wear her down.
