Operational Execution: The only thing constant in life is…

Leave a Comment / Business, Continuous Improvement, Leadership, Operations, Service / Darren Reiniger

Change is a constant in business (and life), yet it remains one of the most challenging aspects of organizational success. Whether implementing new technologies, restructuring teams, or shifting strategic direction, effective change management ensures smooth transitions, employees remain engaged, and the intended benefits are realized. I first wrote about change in the following article back

The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat?

Leave a Comment / Business, Personal, Service / Darren Reiniger

I’m sure many of you of a certain vintage recognize the saying above. It was the hallmark opening of ABC’s Wide World of Sports, hosted by Jim McKay from the early 1960s to the late 1990s. The words, coupled with the images and the background music, conjure up memories of athletes’ greatest moments and, in

Dreams of youth

Leave a Comment / Business, Personal, Service / Darren Reiniger

It’s been a busy five months since I began exploring my unique skill set and interests, and initiated the topic of ikigai. Now, I transition over to what provides me joy and excitement. Do the two concepts overlap? Perhaps somewhat, but not entirely. Maybe that has contributed to the diversity of my career so far.

Two steps forward, one step back

Leave a Comment / Business, Leadership, Personal, Service / Darren Reiniger

No, I’m not crazy enough to begin teaching dance lessons as my next service offering. 🙂 Maybe a bit less exciting, I will discuss my career through the decades, emphasizing my solopreneur journey over the last five years. A funny thing happened on my path to career development. There was a first job. Then a

The Outsiders

Leave a Comment / Business, Continuous Improvement, Health Care, Leadership, Manufacturing, Operations, Personal, Service, Strategy, Technology / Darren Reiniger

When speaking with people, I often use the terms “sectors” and “industries” interchangeably and incorrectly. Despite the numerous industries I have worked in, there are countless more that I haven’t explored. Interestingly, many industries are worried about using outsiders. Meaning they’d rather rely on those with specific industry experience. Off-topic – I chuckle when I

Senior Leadership – It’s not about the title

Leave a Comment / Business, Leadership, Personal, Service / Darren Reiniger

I’m using the term “KISS” more frequently of late. I’m not sure if my mental capacity is degrading or if we’re in an environment where people want to add their spin on things for unneeded complexity (and maybe some silliness). Is “new and different” always better? I’ll be the first to say it’s often worth

Extracting Operational Excellence

Leave a Comment / Business, Continuous Improvement, Data Mining, Leadership, Operations, Service / Darren Reiniger

As I concluded my last series on Business Operating Systems, I mentioned how I was (over)simplifying the Operational Execution sphere. I spent much of my career in Operations, spanning multiple industries, so I feel well-versed in properly planning and executing in this arena. Realizing that no two companies are identical (people, like fingerprints, make sure

There is a purpose

Leave a Comment / Business, Continuous Improvement, Leadership, Personal, Service / Darren Reiniger

As a sole proprietor, my personal or company names are often interchangeable. While I will go by almost anything you call me, I wanted to consolidate and bring to a close the last six blogs I’ve written about Business Operating Systems and how they relate to the logo I chose back in 2019. As I

Reflections, Part II

Leave a Comment / Business, Personal, Service / Darren Reiniger

As I wrote earlier, I’ve had the chance to reflect upon the last two years. While I tend to focus on what development and growth I should continue to work on, it wouldn’t be balanced if I didn’t consider some successes over the last few years. Like any organization, being able to focus on a

Reflections, Part I

Leave a Comment / Business, Personal, Service / Darren Reiniger

At this two-year mark of (re)starting my Consulting company, I believe it’s time to reflect upon my learnings over the various assignments and work during these unusual times. I’ll continue this later in September, as yes, there has been no shortage of self-observations. Those who know me well know that I am an individual who
