Adam CoffeyGUEST
So when I think of value creation and I think of the levers of growth, there's a finite amount of ways that I can grow earnings in a company.
Adam CoffeyGUEST
So revenue is one component, but running a better ship and becoming operationally more efficient, whether it's through technology, oftentimes for me it was investments in technology, but just process redesign, process simplification, you know, Six Sigma, Lean Sigma, all these different methodologies that I've learned over the years.
Adam CoffeyGUEST
You know, when I think about that, you know, the levers for growth, Price, volume, pivot, tiering.
Adam CoffeyGUEST
If I raise price, you know, if I have a company that's earning 10% net profit and I raise prices 5%, it doesn't cost me any more.

Casey JenkinsGUEST
But oftentimes I'll see that immediate outcome tends to be what gets addressed versus what's actually creating the problem.
Casey JenkinsGUEST
So I would say that's why companies tend to not be able to differentiate because they just look too on the surface at what's going on and not really diving back into root cause.
Fleur SummersHOST
So I was just going to say, it's really fascinating because In the introduction, you talked about you being like Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.
Fleur SummersHOST
I've got Yellow Belt.

Colin HuttonGUEST
Everything that was coming up in the training department, learning and development, I'll do that, I'll do that, I'll do that.
Colin HuttonGUEST
you know, Six Sigma project management stuff.
Colin HuttonGUEST
I was really kind of like a sponge, soaked it all up.
Colin HuttonGUEST
And then a guy that I knew that I grew up with, his family had a restaurant group.
Paul SandersGUEST
And we both know that 30 years ago, it was much more top-down, much more directive management, much more a focus on, I would say, operations and efficiency.
Paul SandersGUEST
We had all the Six Sigma stuff.
Paul SandersGUEST
I would say a very, very competitive climate, very, very unforgiving in some ways.
Paul SandersGUEST
Right.
Paul SandersGUEST
of bottoms up, all that kind of stuff that we didn't talk a lot about when we were first doing leadership development work.
Sylvain NewtonHOST
And I like when you say we're going to combine things, because as you know, Paul, we've known each other for some time.
Sylvain NewtonHOST
I spent some time in Six Sigma when Six Sigma was big and Some people started criticizing Six Sigma, like Six Sigma is killing innovation because it's about predictability and repeatability.
Sylvain NewtonHOST
I think it's not true.
Ron PereiraHOST
Now, Michael and I had a really good conversation today, really focused on this whole idea of closing the strategy execution gap.
Ron PereiraHOST
And so as you hear, so Michael isn't officially in sort of like the Lean Six Sigma world or whatever, but the work that he does is very complimentary to everything that we're all about.
Ron PereiraHOST
And that's why I was sort of excited to have him on and to hear his perspective on how he goes about helping companies with this whole strategy execution gap.
Ron PereiraHOST
And so we really just kind of dive into his thoughts on why this is so hard for companies to get right and what they need to do to sort of turn strategy into consistent execution and lots of stories, lots of good examples along the way here.

Jason SteinHOST
But today she's talking about terms and conditions, and it's all related to MEMA's 21st annual light vehicle terms and conditions update, September 17th in Auburn Hills.
Jason SteinHOST
And today's subjects are all about the future of mobility and all about what keeps suppliers up at night.
Doug DonahueGUEST
You have, and it's not just basic labor anymore as it was 20, 30 years ago.
Doug DonahueGUEST
You have engineers that know every single continuous improvement, whether it be Kaizen, Six Sigma, And when an engineer comes out of college, manufacturing, particularly international manufacturing, is the job that they're seeking.
Doug DonahueGUEST
So if you can't find labor, you are limited on growth.
Doug DonahueGUEST
So people are being more cautious, as you said.
