High Performance Consulting is based on the principle of "helping our clients help themselves." We don't just come in, make assessments, suggest a change, and leave. We believe that the key to successful improvement of engineering, manufacturing, and distribution operations is the integration of strategy, process, people, information and technology. We help our clients better understand this, and their business, by recognizing and defining the processes and dependencies within their operations. We help our clients assess current conditions, create comprehensive strategic plans, design methods for specific improvement, and implement solutions. And in the process, we strive to teach our clients how to continue to improve, even after we've gone. Please see our Consulting Services pages for more detail. High Performance Education projects are conducted at client sites and through leading universities and trade associations. Recent sponsors include the Institute of Industrial Engineers, the Management Roundtable, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, the Strategic Research Institute, Motorola University, Georgia Institute of Technology, George Washington University, University of Wisconsin, and University of Kansas. We have extensive experience in management and executive education, benchmarking, and study missions -- all designed to better prepare our clients for the effective use of advanced business practices and systems integration. Please see our Education pages for more detail. High Performance Research is published in workbooks, survey reports, and conference proceedings. Research projects involve special investigations for client companies and for the general advancement of the industrial management, engineering, manufacturing, and distribution professions.
