We help sustainable businesses and not-for-profits (nonprofits, healthcare and government agencies) to achieve “triple bottom line” performance to people, planet and profit so they can eliminate waste and increasing value (read our case studies).
This is accomplished through real-life improvement projects and events in your organization that typically save between $10,000-$50,000 per project or event in cost savings or avoidance. We utilize the well-established problem solving and continuous improvement methods of Lean and Six Sigma to achieve these results.

For individuals or small project team (up to 3 people) looking to complete an improvement project and get a certification. Learn more
For groups of people within the same company/organization looking to complete multiple improvement projects at the same time and get everyone certified (includes leadership support and updates). Learn more
If you’re not using these established improvement methods and tools, you might be investing time and money into solutions that do not work!
More importantly, these projects and events result in the following outcomes:
- Reduced labor costs and process times
- Increasing employee and volunteer engagement
- Less wasted time by removing waste
- More flexible workers to handle fluctuations in customer demand
- Improved cash flow and reduced inventory
- Faster time getting materials and development work through your processes and to the final customer
- Delays spending and investments in expansion and growth due to improved processes
- Less inventory and money tied up in materials and development
- Reduced expenses
- Less time, materials and charges spent on errors and mistakes
- Quicker to find problems that are more visible, so they don’t get out of hand too quickly
- Smaller rent/mortgage costs due to smaller floor space
- Increased sales and improved customer satisfaction
- Increased value provided to customers through discussions
- Increased satisfaction to customers and stakeholders due to faster responses
- Increased satisfaction due to more consistent products and services and fewer overall problems
- Reduced risks and potential failures
- Assessing processes to identify potential failures and taking action to mitigate problems before they occur or re-occur
- Utilizing tools and engaged employees to find and escalate problems quickly while they’re manageable
For over 25 years, I have helped organizations from many industries reduce or avoid costs, reduce environmental impacts, improve the local community and engage employees. Learn more about Brion >>
Why choose BPI?
What makes me different from other consulting firms is that I care about the results. I expect clients to apply what they learn to improve their operations. I don’t want to teach you if you aren’t willing to implement it in a real-life project. That is where the real learning takes place, and where the training and coaching pays for itself.
Don’t waste money sending your employees to training that provide no tangible results!
I also have expertise in sustainability, with an emphasis on helping you make improvements that are good for the business, good for the environment and good for your employees and the local community (triple bottom line)!
How you can work with me?
I have two core programs:
- Lean Six Sigma Project Coaching for Organizations (up to 10 people)
- Lean Six Sigma Project Coaching for Individuals (1-3 people)
We also provide a variety of services to help you develop an effective continuous improvement program.
Who have I worked with?
After 18 years at Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace), I’ve had the privilege to work with companies from many industries and sectors, from large automotive manufacturers, logistics warehouses, educational software, food and beverage producers, steel industry, clothing repair organizations, healthcare facilities, thrift stores and many more.
I’ve also been involved with many organizations in the Lean and Six Sigma community as a guest speaker and contributor, such as ASQ, IISE, Lean Global Network and Lean Portland.
