The Industry Problem
The incumbent model
Partner sells. Junior delivers. Framework gets applied. Report gets filed. Plant stays broken.
Most consulting firms send their best people to win the work, then staff it with analysts who've never walked a plant floor. The methodology is sound on paper. The implementation falls apart in practice.
The KSV model
One senior specialist. Methods built from the inside. The same person throughout. Implementation, not reports.
When you work with me, you get me. Not a team, not a rotating cast. I bring 25 years of plant-floor experience to every engagement — from assessment through implementation. The work gets done because I do the work.
