Turn manufacturing know-how into systems your team can actually use.
I help manufacturers modernize the documents, training, workflows, and follow-up systems that keep operations moving, using practical AI where it helps and never where it doesn't.

You know the problems. They are the ones running your operation today.
The same RFQ rebuilt from scratch every time. SOPs nobody reads. Training packages that do not transfer to the floor. New hires taking months to become productive when it should take weeks. Tribal knowledge walking out the door at every retirement. PPAP packages reassembled by hand. Status reports built from memory and chased down by email. Follow-up systems that depend on someone remembering.
These are not technology problems. They are systems-and-knowledge problems. That is what I solve, using practical AI where it makes the work go faster.
Most operational friction traces back to one of six systems behind how work gets done. Three build your people's capability. Three move the work. Fix the one with the loudest pain, and the rest gets easier.

Operational Systems Scan
Fifty-five minutes to find which of the six systems is slowing your team down most.
Training. Documentation. Onboarding. Knowledge transfer. Execution. Communication.
You'll leave knowing where to start and how to build the case.
Modernization Projects
Modernize the systems that keep work moving: training, onboarding, documentation, program execution, communication, and knowledge transfer.
From focused two-week projects to larger organizational engagements.
Workforce AI Enablement Cohort
Three people from your company join a cross-company cohort, build a working AI solution on real work, and present at a showcase your executive sponsor attends. Founding cohort forming now.
Additional Ways to Learn
Manufacturing Systems Labs
A free 60-minute live session where you tackle one real operational problem with AI and walk away with something usable that day.
Team & Leadership Workshops
Practical AI capability for your team, built around the work people actually do. Plus leadership development and keynote speaking.
Executive AI Working Session
A focused working session for leaders who want to use AI in their own work. Delegation, decision support, executive communication, the Copilot or Claude or ChatGPT workflows that change what you can carry in a week.
A conversation with John McElroy on AI, how leaders are using it, and why it matters now.
A conversation with Jan Griffiths on the Automotive Leaders Podcast
A conversation with Jan Griffiths and Tom Roberts on the Auto Supply Chain Champions Podcast on what it takes to move from playing with AI to putting it to work.
The number one reason teams don't modernize the systems holding them back is the same thing I hear every week: "I don't have time."
Modernization is the investment that creates the time. But you have to treat it like any other system that matters. Scope it. Schedule it. Show up. Have structure and someone to be accountable to. That is what most operational improvement misses.
I have never felt more organized, more confident, or more capable in my work than I do right now. That's not a sales pitch. That's my actual experience. And it's what I want for every leader and team I work with.
