  • "There are very few people I turn to for reflection upon complex challenges, and Keith Leitner is one of them! Keith's experience, insight into problem solving, and skill in group facilitation make him invaluable!"

  • "I had the pleasure of working with Keith when he was an employee at my consulting company. Keith came from a background of kaizen events and lean transformation, but had something special about him other lean consultants often lack. He had a deep appreciation for the value of developing people and had a natural intuition for the way of thinking of the Toyota Way. I could always trust when I sent Keith into a client company that we would be preaching a common philosophy and he would wow them. Amazing things would simply start happening because of Keith’s leadership. The client organizations would begin to see possibilities they never considered. You cannot go wrong with Keith."

    -Dr. Jeffrey K. Liker
    Author of The Toyota Way

  • "Keith was co-developer of the UT Lean for Healthcare executive program that was launched back in 2006. Since then, we have taught it a multitude of times in a multitude of venues, including Europe and the Middle East. He is a talented and very knowledgeable instructor who has the ability to engage students, no matter what their level or background. Along the way, we have also worked on improvement projects and I’ve had the chance to see Keith’s excellent facilitation skills in action. His experience in applying Lean in a variety of often challenging settings shines through."

    Author of "The Definitive Guide to Emergency Department Operational Improvement"

  • “(Your book) truly helped me a lot in the situation I’m in…And man, I gotta say, your book came at the perfect time. I think I actually referenced about 80% of the content in Pt 1 about problem solvers and process improvers with my leadership, to align us on my fit in the org as the (Subject Matter Expert) for the entire product, as well as the 3rd largest shareholder.  It truly was a catalyst for us in getting aligned and grounded. Thank you so much Keith, and truly appreciate the effort and passion you’ve put into your field, and being gracious enough to share it.”
