Why Dan Founded
Process Data Partners

After spending over a decade delivering process improvement results for Fortune 500 companies and major healthcare systems, Dan recognized a gap in the market: small and mid-sized businesses need process improvement expertise, but they can’t afford – and don’t want – the traditional consulting model.

Dan founded Process Data Partners to bring enterprise-level process improvement methodologies to small businesses in a practical, affordable, and empowering way. His mission is simple: train teams to solve their own problems, not create dependency on consultants.

Dan’s Philosophy

Dan believes that sustainable improvement comes from building team capability, not from consultants who solve problems and leave.
His approach focuses on:

Empowerment over Dependency

Building your team’s skills, not creating reliance on outside help

Practical over Academic

Working on real problems with real data, not textbook case studies

Measurable over Theoretical

Delivering documented ROI, not vague promises

Collaborative over Prescriptive

Facilitating solutions your team owns, not imposing external fixes
