Speaker & Lecturer

Whether lecturing in an intimate classroom at a University in New York, conducting a workshop on teamwork in Bangalore, or on the big stage at an Industrial Congress in Monterrey; Paris has become internationally established as a highly sought-after speaker and guest lecturer on all topics related to Operational Excellence.

Paris works to ensure an understanding of the subject matter from the perspective of the audience when delivered so that it is relevant to the challenges they face – in their context.

He does this by reading and researching the cultural, economic, and political history of the venue and their current circumstances (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) and almost always makes certain to arrive prior to delivering the talk so that he might perform a personal “gemba” – seeing for himself the reality.

Perhaps most important, Paris’ speaking engagements are designed to provoke and challenge the audience into questioning their own perspectives and realities – to push them outside their comfort-zones and make them think outside the box.
