FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$250 / hour $1750 per day retainer 10 hours $2500
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will speak with the client at no cost for up to an hour to determine what is needed. Once we agree upon a course of action we can determine how payment will be managed. I am amenable to NDA agreements and can provide a simple engagement contract. I have no set method but often will request an opportunity to survey or speak with employees about issues to help me locate the best solutions for my client.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have four engineering degrees: BS CHE, MENG, MS Engineering Management and Doctorate Engineering Management. I have a patent for process design. I was a practicing engineer for 10 years with P&G and Pepsi and then became a Business college faculty member teaching operations for 30 years. In my role as faculty I continued to consult with manufacturers, hospitals and service providers, as well as city developers. I have trained supervisors and line operators and faculty. I have installed multi-million dollar projects and managed many small and large cost savings projects. I have supervised large systems and developed business plans for small businesses. I ran a 23 million revenue college on two locations in the last six years and was responsible for the success of thousands of students. I built my Chicago network in that job and now have Investors, consultants and bankers on my linked in network upon whom I call for advice or connect to my clients when there is a need.
