Looking For a Document?

The Board of Directors has successfully completed a Google migration. Nonetheless, you may experience broken links as a result. Please contact us if you see anything out of sort.

Why?

In order to handle the growth of the Colorado Lean Network, we formed a non-profit in 2019. This step allowed for us to get a variety of resources that we did not have access to before. One of those resources is a free Google Suite, including a Google Team Drive.

As we continue to grow in members (550+), we have also grown our support staff. This growth has made collaboration an urgent challenge. The new Google Suite allows for us to better maintain document storage among other important tasks (calendaring, conferencing, etc.).

In the past we were operating out of a personal Gmail account. As you can imagine, this created numerous document ownership challenges which were not an issue when we were smaller.

How

In order to gain back control of our documents so that we can prevent the loss of your valuable resources (tools, resources, etc.), we needed to migrate them to a Google Team Drive that was under our new non-profit domain. However, the sharing links under this drive work a little differently. They are more secure. Nevertheless, you may have lost access. If this happened, not to worry, we are here as a resource to you.

Please drop us a line if you need to regain access to any of the documents that have been previously shared with you.

Mike began his improvement journey in the late 1990’s using Kanban cards and production boards to reduce waste in the restaurant industry. In 2005 he joined Caterpillar, Inc. where he learned how to integrate process improvement with Six Sigma to increase heavy equipment sales in two Colorado territories. With a passion for education, Mike later began teaching folks how to use these simple principles themselves--first in the private sector (2009), and then later in the public sector (2012). Mike is the Senior Manager of Continuous Improvement at Denver International Airport and he previously served as the executive director for the Colorado Lean Network from 2017 - 2020. Mike loves learning about what drives people to improve processes while teaching them how to think differently. When he is not facilitating process improvements, Mike enjoys hiking, snowshoeing, biking and traveling with his wonderful wife, Melissa.
