Rather than selling vague transformation, he leads with a focused Factory Performance Diagnostic Review, a fast, structured deep dive into bottlenecks, leadership gaps, and flow constraints. From that diagnostic, clients receive a clear 18–24 month action plan. This naturally opens the door to implementation support, coaching, and in some cases interim operational leadership. The diagnostic isn’t just an assessment, it’s the engine of his consulting business. What stands out is the combination of operational precision and leadership development. Mark doesn’t just fix process. He builds capability inside the client’s team. When leaders gain structure and confidence, the factory stabilizes, and performance improvements compound over time. **********************************************************Proposed Interview Structure: 1.
