Roger Piepenstock joins Amnis' Lean team
Roger Piepenstock has joined the quality, innovation and
productivity organisation Amnis to lead their Lean Team within the
Local Government and Health sectors.
Piepenstock is a chief executive with extensive experience in Lean,
business development, strategic planning and marketing. His
experience includes the introduction of transformational change,
Lean and similar initiatives, both in the UK and overseas and he has
established efficient businesses around the world.
In addition to managing and leading organisations and introducing
transformational change, he has supported the development of major
public programmes aimed at transforming a wide range of industrial
sectors.
A former pupil of Harrow School, he holds an MBA (from American
International University of London). For the last ten years he has
been a member of the Board of Made in London and, among other
things, is a veteran of the Honourable Artillery Company.
Commenting on his joining Amnis' Local Government & Health team,
Piepenstock said: "I am delighted to be working again with Amnis'
managing director, Mark Eaton.
"Having delivered Lean to a number of organisations over the last 18
years - including being Chairman of the Manufacturing Advisory
Service for London who were introducing Lean to London based
Manufacturers – I'm impressed with the Amnis methodology. Unlike
some other firms offering Lean support, Amnis really does transfer
the skills and techniques to it customers.
"In my experience, this is the only way to make Lean programmes
successful in the long term. Many Lean programmes fail because the
consultants who have been driving them have finished their contract.
Successful implementations are, usually, where the skills and
knowledge have been transferred to the organisation and the
philosophy becomes part of the culture.
"I'm impressed by my team's experience and commitment and I'm glad
to be part of such a dynamic organisation," he added.
Mark Eaton, managing director of Amnis, commented: "It is rare to
find someone of Roger's calibre and experience who is able to share
it so willingly and with such enthusiasm. We're delighted that Roger
has joined Amnis – and, we believe our clients will be too."
