“Reflecting upon the nearly 3 decades that I have known Ron in his professional career, I remain highly and increasingly impressed. In the 1990s, his then proven/new age methods, and strategies for driving parts and service operational excellence, KPI metrics, and resultant profit growth was directly shared, instituted, and realized for our parts and service departments at our heavy construction equipment dealership. Thereafter, across a three consecutive year period, the same dealership earned the highest marketing performance award in North America by the world’s second-largest heavy construction equipment OEM. The basis for this award determination covered over 200 KPI metrics. Ron is high-energy and the best-in-class researcher/thinker/educator across his ever-growing bandwidth. Exemplary, his journey of teaching/sharing his skillset and impactful relevance is emblematic of what a science of systems focuses, drive, and passion for endeavoring towards excellence through learning and continuous improvement can become. Selflessly, he remains at the helm as he guides us all with his personable servant leadership. Not only showing his customer clients and students but also his Learning Without Scars status contributors how to tap into the insights we have amassed to become the ever-improving versions of our own unique skillsets. So, to pay it forward and share and serve others to be the favorably impactful version of their respective God-given talents and more importantly reach potential!”
