Riaan’s Passion for Transformation is Truly Inspiring!
I met Riaan on a learning mission to Japan to study the Toyota Production System via the Honsha consulting group. I found Riaan to be a gregarious leader who was the perfect fit to lead a culture transformation. He has a deep understanding the philosophy and the tools of TPS. He has the passion for continuous improvement, but best of all he has the personality to provide confidence and a sense of humor to lead people to want to transform. Everyone enjoys being around Riaan.

Riaan has proven his desire to learn and apply Lean. I had the privilege to spend a week with Riaan in Japan as part of the Honsha Japan Executive Development Mission. Riaan demonstrated the humility necessary to learn and contributed to the group with his key insights. It was a pleasure to spend time with him.
