Bertwin Lord Consulting

“No problem is so big that it can’t be broken down into easy-to-complete smaller actions.

Bert calls these actions, incremental little bits.

He’s used this tactic from Nuclear Submarines for the U.S. Navy to new business start ups in Northern Africa. It works everywhere in the world and in every industry.

Uniquely experienced in: the US Military as a Naval Nuclear Submarine Engineer as the leading petty officer in charge of maintenance, foreign relations, and shipboard security; Corporate America as an enterprise level Program Director; within small and medium sized companies working in a myriad of roles; and universities and NGOs within the US and in the international community working as a general worker to the Chief of Mission. This experience leads to connections within: the political scene in Washington DC and many foreign governments; the commercial and development landscape.

Key Methodology for Business Management:

Like good fences making good neighbors and good contracts making great partners the key to successful operations is meaningful structure.  Not structure for the sake of structure but creating a place where your employees are free to expand their potential to the limits because they know exactly where their boundaries are and have clear lines of communication.  It is important to break your business into its incremental little bits and have a common focus.  Incremental little bits are simply what you do broken down into the simplest task.  To do this you must engage with your staff and customers.  Common focus is simply giving your staff and customers a mission statement that is understandable, meaningful, and becomes an ever-present part of the corporate mentality.

Bertwin Lord’s method to success is that he comes in, reviews what is currently being done with existing staff, develops a mission statement with the owners, breaks down the requirements with staff, work with staff to develop procedure that captures each requirement, collaborates with staff and management to put all required processes into a sequence, finds redundancies within the sequence, takes all information and develops a sequence that maximizes efficiency with the staff, work with all stakeholder to identify relevant metrics within the sequence that will assist stakeholders with determining trends, establish a monitoring and measuring capability for the metrics, develops stakeholder reporting mechanism for all metrics relevant to the specific stakeholder, and develops a feedback capability that provides a constant form of communication from staff to management about all steps in the process and workplace harmony.  As employees and management are involved in the creation of the end product there is immediate ownership of the process to eliminate the concern of paying for a system no-one will maintain.
