WHY IT'S NOT WORKING NOW

Your standard management tools aren't enough

"Like this plant rooting through asphalt, I thrive where others give up. I see these cracks not as flaws, but as the interstices where solutions emerge."

My approach

Scientifically validated tool for:

  • Identifying change response profiles
  • Anticipating transition tensions
  • Activating individual levers

Adapted to team dynamics:

  • Eliminating collaborative "downtime"
  • Optimizing feedback loops
  • Streamlining decision-making

Neuroscience-based techniques:

  • Creating psychological safety
  • Stimulating innovative ideas
  • Converting conflicts into creative energy

WHY IT WORKS:

The most rigid systems always have invisible flex points.

I create the space to detect them. Your team leverages them together.

What the leaders I support say

Directrice, ExxonMobil

We brought Louise in as a Consultant and Subject Matter Expert to help us reimagine our approach to Continuous Improvement.

Historically, we utilized part-time trainers, who gave 100s of hours of training to our organization of ~2,000 employees. However, the training was more informational than applied. Tracking the metrics was cumbersome, and results were difficult to quantify.

Louise worked with my team on a proposal to change to a project-based, mentorship-supported model. In addition, the results were to be measured based upon increased profitability through simplification projects (instead of # of training hours completed.)

To implement the change, Louise facilitated a global “train the trainer” workshop in Budapest. Louise helped participants utilize and apply the Continuous Improvement and Lean tools, to change the delivery model of the training. This approach resulted in the trainers championing the tools within their home countries, thereby multiplying their impact.

Louise’s interactive approach served as a model for the trainers, turning them into facilitators themselves. Her depth and breadth of knowledge enabled her to quickly understand and show us how to apply the principles to our unique situation. Her smart, effective approach put our new program years ahead of what it had been before!

I highly recommend that you get in touch with Louise if you want to up level your team approach!

When I think of Louise; what comes to mind is a great builder of people.

Louise is a selfless leader that focuses on building up those arounds to her to live up to their potential.

I first met Louise when I took Imperial Continuous Improvement course. Over several years Louise invited me to be a part of the CI teaching community and collaborated to incorporate some of my knowledge into the continuous improvement curriculum.

Louise is also a forward-looking innovator that is constantly looking to improve her coaching, teaching and continuous improvement knowledge base. Louise is also a practitioner of human centered design and its application in continuous improvement.

Without hesitation I give my full recommendation to those who will have the pleasure of working with her in the future.
