"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."

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 talks about her work:
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. Out of that came a new focus, helping organizations initiate Lean transformations in non-manufacturing settings, and some new colleagues, the Lean Enterprise Institute staff and the Lean Transformations Group partners. Much of our work together focuses on healthcare, an environment I’ve worked in for the past 25 years and I feel suited to. My work in that segment of the economy has always focused on communications, but this new work focuses more on systems, and we’ve seen a lot of positive results: reduced wait time for patients and their families, improved employee morale and retention, and the empowerment of employees to solve problems.
Other opportunities have developed from Margaret’s and my ongoing work with the transplant, particularly the organ and tissue procurement, communities. We’ve moved beyond the U.S. to other countries and beyond simply providing training services to helping our clients set up and improve their existing systems. Now we (and they) are starting to see tangible and, in some places, remarkable results. Those results are particularly gratifying because they represent, in many cases, lives saved
