Background

About Larry Cloutier

Larry has acquired a wide range of experience as an international consultant over the last thirty five years. He has successfully managed performance contracts in various disciplines covering energy conservation initiatives, quality initiatives, productivity and throughput improvements, inventory reduction programs, as well as the development and delivery of management and skills training programs. The common factor in all these disciplines has been the varying degrees of organizational change required. His ability to deliver a continuous improvement process for customers, focusing on their current needs and the achievement of measurable results has made his career very gratifying. His business exposure spans from heavy industry and light manufacturing to the services sector. This unique career experience has provided many opportunities for leading and implementing organizational change. It is to be noted that many of these enterprises were in multiple locations, some in different states and countries. These unique cultures nurtured their own paradigms when confronted with the basic concepts of responsibility, accountability, and commitment towards continuous improvement. Larry’s career path with these industries included accountability for various positions from operator, technician, supervisor, manager, staff consultant, training consultant, project manager, business analyst, and vice president of operations. His most satisfying role has been leading change initiatives and developing the teams that could repeat the successes achieved. The team development strategies had to encompass two different but parallel strategic paths to achieve the committed results. The strategy for his internal operations / implementation team was different from the external strategy for the customer’s teams that continued to improve their business.
