Autorenporträt

Ian Wedgwood, Ph.D., President and CEO of Haelan Group, has more than two decades of experience guiding organizations through change. He has led and facilitated dozens of Lean Sigma deployments in industries as diverse as healthcare, electronics, engineered materials, chemicals, banking, and hospitality, and has trained and mentored numerous executives, Champions, and Belts.

Prior to his consulting career, Ian worked for the global engineering group Invensys PLC facilitating major initiatives. One such initiative, building a new 180,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico, brought Ian to the United States, where he still lives with his wife, Veronica, and sons, Christian and Sean. Ian also led Invensys's highly successful Lean Design for Six Sigma deployment. Some 380+ Design Belts within a single division yielded a 65 times return in less than two years.

He also authored Lean Sigma: Rebuilding Capability in Healthcare, which is shaping how healthcare leaders think about Lean Sigma and its application to this industry in need.
