What Makes Dan Different

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
