As Lead Consultant, Lee's philosophy is that in order for businesses to remain competitive, they have to embrace change. Those that adapt and thrive in a changing environment will inevitably lead; and their competitors will ultimately have to follow.
Beyond this observation Lee has further identified that, while continuous process improvement may well be the route to the cutting edge, it is not the key to staying there. Once any business has fully optimised their process, the next step is that technological advances must be made.
It is through applying such analytical, intuitive and flexible thinking, that Lee has forged a career as a ‘quietly efficient agent of change'.
His twenty years' experience has been earned in manufacturing control and service delivery for high tech telecoms companies including Mitel Telecom, Mitel Semiconductors, Panasonic and Newbridge Networks; as well as in delivering projects for Welsh Utilities Companies and a variety of small and medium businesses.
