"I’ve had a variety of experiences working in organizations in the past 25 years to make them perform better both as business systems and human systems. For fourteen years I worked for Toyota in its North American manufacturing operations."

What I most often say about my work right now is, "I'm thankful for it." Verble Worth and Verble lost some contracts due to the economic downturn, but we haven't been as badly hurt as most companies and I believe we're seeing a turn-around.
Judy Worth
"The last three years have presented me with a lot of new opportunities. Some of those developed as the result of going back to my roots to do some basic instructional design work for the Lean Enterprise Institute."

David Verble talks about his work
I’ve had a variety of experiences working in organizations in the past 25 years to make them perform better both as business systems and human systems. For fourteen years I worked for Toyota in its North American manufacturing operations. During that time I had the opportunity to work with, study (both here and Japan), manage in, and teach in, what I believe is one of the most effective business systems in the world. I think the work I have done since is best described as “Process Consultation” to help companies and not-for-profit organizations improve business performance, initiate strategic change, and transform to more effective and efficient operations based on the principles and practices I learned in Toyota.
I prefer providing process consultation in a coaching relationship. I believe I’m most effective when I partner with an executive or manager who is trying to improve performance or bring about change in his or her organization. I often help clients design and facilitate their change activities but feel I contribute most when I can coach the leader or group through planning and implementing their improvement processes themselves. My concern is not just that we achieve the expected results but that my client and others learn through the experience. If the client and the organization are better able to carry out and even improve on the processes on their own the next time then I have left something of value behind.
