“Process Improvement Partners LLC has helped strengthen the continuous improvement culture at CITY Furniture. From coaching leadership to engaging our Kaizen teams, they give their all to ensure we have a winning experience and that our fantastic results live on and be sustained. Highly recommended!”
Andrew Koenig, CEO of CITY Furniture
"Within weeks of becoming CEO, it was clear that this deeply important legacy organization suffered many of the challenges of establishment. Many of our processes were bloated or at least inefficient, but worst of all there were too many practices and procedures nobody could explain the reason why we operated the way we did. “We’ve always done it that way” is a frustrating comment for any new leader to hear. Adam broke through decades of institutional morass and for two individuals at least a decade of intrapersonal work related conflict. More important even than breaking down those barriers to success was breaking down the barriers of our own creation to our success. We learned not just how to act in particular processes but how to think and work together as a team to solve other problems as well."
Kevin Ressler, CEO of the United Way of Lancaster County
"I have worked either in a management position or as a management consultant for more than 30 years. I understand the value, and really the need, of having an experience management consultant to provide insight and different perspectives. Advice coupled with case studies as well as an honesty of what works and what does not work is vital to success. Adam Lawrence is the epitome of a true management consultant. He is not afraid to provide the honest truth that others would hesitate to bring to the forefront. He is also not afraid to get his hands dirty to understand root problems. What is best is that he often has recommendations on how to resolve issues and improve on existing operations."
Cody Bateman, Founder/Advisor, GenH2
"Adam Lawrence, Thank you so much for inviting me to your Value Stream Mapping event at Park-Site. I enjoyed myself immensely, and you were GREAT! It has been a while since I was a part of a project team like this, so this occasion was a welcomed treat. You did a great job facilitating the event and made it fun and engaging for all who attended. I was especially impressed by how you managed the diverse personalities in the room allowing everyone’s voice to be heard. I also found your ability to teach the concepts to a broad spectrum of talent so that everyone was able to comprehend and apply the them to be outstanding. It was very thoughtful of you to sign your book for me. It was a gesture that I appreciated. Thank you again for allowing me the privilege to participate, job well done."
Chris Maulucci, Continuous Improvement Manager, Therma-Tru Doors

"I had the privilege of attending Adam's Wheel of Sustainability workshop at BTOES 2021 in Orlando, FL. Adam is a charismatic facilitator and did a wonderful job of introducing the participants to the different components of The Wheel of Sustainability. Working with many clients who want to see long-term benefits from their process management efforts, I found the concepts presented by Adam to be quite helpful. I am looking forward to reading his book - The Wheel of Sustainability - and helping my clients generate more lasting value."
Matt Spears, Senior Solutions Engineer, Nintex
"I participated in an event with Adam last week, and I was seriously impressed! Not only was Adam a Lean expert, he also pushed our team to get results by the end of a short week. We all accomplished more than we thought possible at the start of the event. It wasn’t about perfection, it was about diving in and making impactful change happen and Adam drove us to continually focus on that. I’m grateful for the tools I learned from the event and for all we were able to accomplish when we weren't allowed to spiral in weeds."
Emily Jones, Product Engineer, EMD Electronics
"This Kaizen was a crazy experience in the best way possible! The daily agenda was the perfect compass for each day that presented new challenges. I'm more confident in my problem solving and I'm grateful for the team of people that helped throughout this entire week! Adam has a way of reading the energy of the class and knows when to pivot his teaching style. Thank you Adam for taking the time to pass on your best practices! I hope to be a part of the next Kaizen at City Furniture :) "
Alea Pizarro, Quality Assurance Auditor, CITY Furniture

"I attended the AME Everywhere International conference 2021 this week. Adam Lawrence was spectacular. His presentation was loaded with helpful tools and information. I am looking forward to reading his book. He is definitely a true "Lean Ninja". Thank you Adam"
Luthor Houston, Workshop participant, AME Everywhere - Dallas
"Adam delivers results! I had the opportunity to work with Process Improvement Partners on two occasions and both had fantastic results! Church & Dwight Lakewood selected Adam to help facilitate a Continuous Improvement Kaizen event. Adam had the team form, storm, norm, and perform on the first day. Most importantly he coached how to develop audits to sustain all improvements. I highly recommend Adam and Process Improvement Partners for Continuous Improvement efforts with experienced or inexperienced teams. Thank you Adam!"
John Dotoli, R&D Lead, Outsourcing and Licensing, Church and Dwight
"Adam not only facilitated our Kaizen, but also taught us how to be accountable for ourselves. Thank you for everything Adam!"
