Gretchen and I first worked together 25 years ago, when she was instrumental in helping one of our project teams achieve success. Gretchen’s recent work with one of our $1 billion construction program teams was critical to our success. Gretchen and her team helped us develop a culture of innovation, collaboration and lean practices, and maintain that culture throughout the three-year life of the program. She is insightful in understanding how to help teams achieve the highest levels of performance.
