"Rod has an enormous ability to not only evaluate and improve processes, but to train staff to be able to make these same types of evaluations and improvements and maintain them for the future. BPT was highly respected by our organization and our project group as they skillfully managed a number of personalities during the project period. They were always enthusiastic, optimistic and 100% fully committed to the task at hand. I couldn’t begin to tell you how working with BPT, learning the Lean Six Sigma methodologies, putting them into action and learning to depend on those teachings, has affected my leadership abilities."

"Rod was my Master Black Belt. He displays "off the chart intelligence" and comes across in a very down-to-earth way. He has the unique ability to connect quickly with people and deliver heavy information in a very understandable & relevant way. He works through people, not at people. Rod uses his unique skill set to deliver high impact results across diverse groups and industries. He is a high-ethics, high-morals guy. He pushes people just enough that they are slightly out of their comfort zone but have a personal allegiance to him to succeed."
