Kodiak bolsters its continuous improvement team
Kodiak Building Partners has made additions to its continuous improvement (CI) team: Lance Grimm as senior vice president (SVP) of CI and Robert Doshi as vice president (VP) of CI training and development.
Lance Grimm will spearhead initiatives to improve operational efficiency, streamline processes and foster a culture of innovation and problem-solving across Kodiak’s network. Previously serving in leadership roles at Target as director of engineered standards and at Rockwell Collins as principal manager of enterprise lean, Kodiak says Grimm has a proven track record of driving measurable results, including cost savings, increased team engagement and operational stability.
As VP of CI training and development, Robert Doshi will oversee Kodiak’s Lean Enterprise Institute training and Train the Trainer programs, which are designed to expand CI capabilities throughout the organization. Known for his ability to build high-performing teams and foster cultures of excellence, Doshi will play a pivotal role in enhancing Kodiak’s CI knowledge base and supporting its local leaders.
Kodiak says continuous improvement is central to its strategy, through helping its operating companies optimize performance and adapt to industry challenges while preserving local leadership.
“Kodiak’s strength lies in the partnership between our operating companies and the communities they serve,” said Cliff Shimer, executive vice president of business transformation at Kodiak Building Partners. “By investing in continuous improvement, we are giving our teams the leadership, tools and strategies to enhance their operations while continuing to deliver exceptional value to customers and partners.”
