I design and implement the systems that make organizations executable.
Complex organizations don't call me when things are running well. They call me when the problem has been there long enough that everyone has stopped believing it can be solved.
I go in. I build the system that makes the organization visible to itself. I leave behind something that works without me.
Twenty years. Arctic offshore operations. Global ETO delivery. Enterprise-scale governance across sixty sites. The problems were different. The pattern was the same.
Eight years of P&L-accountable delivery in Arctic offshore conditions. Scaled from 1 to 8 projects annually, growing revenue from $12M to $38M. Cut mobilization from 7 days to 72 hours — protecting $1M+ per campaign in avoided idle vessel costs under fixed-price constraints.
Full operating model redesign from Engineer-to-Order to Configure-to-Order. Revenue from $20M to $170M. Operating income from structurally negative to positive — a 20-point swing driven by process architecture, not headcount.
Decision cadence built across four business segments — linking demand, capacity, and financial outcomes in a single governance structure. $80M+ revenue captured through disciplined prioritization and explicit trade-off rules.
Workforce and cost governance deployed across 60+ sites, 6,800+ FTE. Translated executive direction into operational staffing decisions at scale. €17M in cost savings and avoidance through structured escalation and deviation control.
Each layer makes the next possible.
The organization cannot be fixed until it can be seen. This is where every engagement starts. The book Business Process Architecture (Amazon, 2026) documents this layer in full.
Visibility without execution is documentation. This layer converts what the organization can now see into how it decides and acts. The methods include APEX, Hoshin Kanri, Governance Systems, and others. When this layer works, the result is Decision Intelligence: the organization knows who decides what, when, and with what information. APEX is the operational implementation, in active use.
Transformation without governance reverts. This layer manages the move from the current operating reality to the next one. Without losing what works.
"Talking through your process challenges with him is like going on a mental gemba — you always gain from it, even if you don't like what you see."Mark Lappegaard — Project Planner
