  • Together, you run the first two or three levels of the Five Whys

  • You leave with a clearer picture of where the root cause likely lives

  • If working together makes sense, John will say so — honestly

Common Questions

Before you reach out

Yes. John genuinely offers this without an agenda. He’s been doing it for 38 years because he believes that if the Five Whys helps you even without a formal engagement, that’s a good thing.

All sizes — from small businesses to Fortune 100s, government agencies, and the US military. The methodology scales. The Five Whys works whether you have 10 people or 10,000.

All of them. Root cause analysis doesn’t care what industry you’re in. John has worked in pharma, financial services, publishing, retail, logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, education, government, and military.

Within one business day for form submissions. John reads every message personally — there’s no intake team. If urgent, calling directly at (616) 340-1280 is the fastest path.

Keynotes are fully standalone. Executive Alignment is also available as a standalone week-long engagement. Kaizen events are typically part of a retainer (6–24 months) because the culture change compounds over time.

John is based in Palm Beach, Florida, and travels extensively. He has delivered engagements in China, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, throughout Europe, and across North America.
