Beau Keyte

Beau is President of The Keyte Group. In this role, Beau teaches, coaches, and facilitates on two important transformation fronts: changing the work processes and changing the roles and responsibilities of leadership to support new work processes. This work keeps him happy as he guides systemic learning and change. Teams learn how to understand, prioritize, and solve performance problems while management learns how to coach the staff in a way to develop them into better thinkers and employees. His operational excellence focus began in 1986 and his work has expanded to include support in healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing. Beau also has been active in designing ways to help organizations learn in highly leveraged collaborative models, including working with 62 emergency departments across Michigan to simultaneously improve patient outcomes. He has two Shingo Prize-winning publications: The Complete Lean Enterprise and Perfecting Patient Journeys. In addition to being on LEI’s faculty, he is a contributing author to Huffington Post and an adjunct faculty member of Ohio State University’s Masters of Business in Operational Excellence program.
