🥱 Bored with “Lean” and “Six Sigma” – methods common in Automotive, I was looking for knowledge on how to approach problem solving innovatively. Methodological optimization and “nibbling” percentages is not always the right solution, when it’s begging to be “turned upside down”.

I have had 5 public speaking appearances in 2022. Once when I worked in a corporation I liked to train and show my papers to clients. My presentations were technical, sometimes very long. Mostly about the noise, vibration – NVH engineering.
