Organizations are spending more on training than ever, and still hearing a familiar complaint from leaders: “We trained them… so why isn’t anything changing?” That frustration isn’t just anecdotal. Corporate training spend in the U.S. has been reported at roughly $102.8B in the 2024–2025 period, continuing an upward trend.

Solving the Skilled Technician Shortage. Using an integrated framework to rebuild the workforce ecosystem.

How industrial organizations can connect their operations, people, and customers for stronger long-term relationships. In most industrial environments, the talk about “customer experience” can sound a bit abstract. When you’re focused on production schedules, safety standards, or maintenance turnarounds, experience  might not seem like the top priority.

360° Integrated Delivery Discipline™ Let’s be honest: most organizations don’t fail because people are unskilled, unmotivated, or don’t “get it.” They fail because leadership, project delivery teams, and frontline operators are running three different playbooks at the same time. That misalignment is ridiculously expensive. Across industries, large programs are still routinely late, over budget, and underdelivering on promised value. On average, large IT projects run 45% over

A decade ago, operational excellence revolved around value-stream maps, gemba walks, Kaizen events, and Green Belts tracking cycle times and defects. Today, the best process-improvement tools don’t reside in dusty binders; they live in your AI sidebar. As we navigate faster markets, greater complexity, and a squeeze on talent and time, organizations are adopting a hybrid model. This model combines proven methods with generative AI and real-time analytics. The outcome? Shorter

The U.S. federal government is the world’s largest customer. It spends hundreds of billions each year on products, services, and technology. For businesses, this presents a massive opportunity. However, it comes with its own set of rules, thresholds, and processes. Two recent shifts make this moment especially important for companies considering the federal market: 1.
