"We're late on orders."
I find where jobs actually stall (Locate), then put a schedule on the floor your team can hit (Launch).
The System ·
Lead Tight. Land Right.
This is how I run your operation from the inside, with your team. Get tight on the few priorities that move delivery, cash, and value first, then land them 90 days at a time.
Sound familiar?
If this is your week, the system fits.
These are the problems I get called in on. Each one maps to a step in LEAD or LAND.
"We're turning away work."
I size your real capacity (Evaluate), then we pick the fixes that let you say yes (Align).
"I don't know our real capacity."
I build a true baseline of machines, hours, and people, not a guess (Locate).
"The bottleneck can't keep up."
I name the constraint (Evaluate), then we test the fix on the floor before you spend (Assess).
"Quality escapes keep coming back."
We find the root cause (Assess), then make the fix standard work (Normalize).
"A&D work is coming, and I'm not sure the shop is ready."
I find what your target customer will actually require (Locate), then we close only those gaps (Assess).
LEAD Tight · LAND Right
Know what to fix first. Then land it in 90 days.
Pick any step to see what I do and what you get. LEAD builds a real baseline and a short list. LAND runs that list with your team in repeating

LAND
LEAD · Locate
Start with a true baseline, not the meeting version.
I get on the floor and into your meetings, numbers, and handoffs to see how the operation really runs.
You get
- A baseline of delivery, quality, cash, and people as they are today
- The real bottleneck, named
- A clear starting point for every fix that follows.
LEAD · Evaluate
See where you lose time, margin, and trust.
I size up throughput, quality, delivery, and people against what A&D customers expect. Then I show you what a buyer or prime would mark down.
You get
- Your gaps, ranked by what they cost
- Your top value discounts, with recommended fixes
- A Buyer Risk Score, an operational readiness view, not a valuation.
LEAD · Align
Agree on the few priorities that matter most.
You and I pick the short list worth doing first, and your leaders know who owns what. Fewer decisions land on you.
You get
- A short priority list, not a wish list
- A named owner for each priority
- Targets everyone can see.
LEAD · Deliver
A 90-day plan your team runs without chasing.
I hand you an operating plan with owners, targets, and a weekly rhythm, built with your team so it sticks.
You get
- A
90-day operating plan - A weekly rhythm and scoreboard, ready to launch
- A clean handoff into LAND.
LAND · Launch · Days
First fixes start in the first ten days.
I set up the weekly operating rhythm and scoreboard with your leads, and the first fixes get under way.
You get
- A weekly rhythm your leads run
- A scoreboard for delivery and cash
- First fixes in motion.
LAND · Assess · Days
Prove each fix on the floor first.
We work root causes and test fixes on the floor before you commit money or people.
You get
- Root causes found, not symptoms
- Fixes tested against real numbers
- A clear go or
no-go before you spend.
LAND · Normalize · Days
Turn what works into standard work.
What works becomes standard work, with clear owners and numbers. The gains hold when you step out of the room.
You get
- Standard work for every fix that proved out
- An owner and a number for each one
- Gains that hold without you in the building.
LAND · Demonstrate · Days
See what moved against the targets.
We compare results to the targets set in LEAD. Then we set the next
You get
- Results against targets
- Priorities for the next
90 days - A better baseline for the next cycle.
Then the ring turns again. Each cycle starts from a better baseline, with priorities set by what the last cycle actually proved.
