“Lauren Taylor was an integral part of our growth. She took the time to uncover the challenges in our business and then crafted a solution that fit us. She did not impose a one-size-fits-all strategy as I had experienced with other consultants. Lauren has a strong business background with much experience and she leverages that with every conversation and suggestion. She was willing to be on site when needed and she was the consummate professional on each visit. Lauren was instrumental in creating operating and employee manuals, developing processes and procedures for inventory and HR tasks and more importantly, helped initiate team building exercises and a change in corporate culture. Her help was invaluable. Our search for key personnel was enhanced with having Lauren on board. Her industry research and interviewing skills made the difference in our search being expedient and effective. She ensured that we were ready to move forward with newly trained staff, and made certain that we were successful with the improvements that we put into place.”

“Lauren has provided me and my firm with great business coaching at the executive and corporate level. In just a few minutes her P&L analysis helped me find significant and immediately actionable cost savings. Her mastery of the business environment, the human element, and vision/strategy are exceptional. What I truly liked was her ability to paint a vision of future success and develop our confidence to achieve it even though the outcome was not assured in my mind. I have known Lauren since 2001 and have had many in-depth discussions regarding strategy and vision. Over the years, these discussions have led to direct corporate engagements on topics such as KCI’s purpose; employee engagement; employee job descriptions and performance evaluations; and, most recently, an internal assessment of how well KCI is living its values. She promised a minimum 10X return and easily delivered a hundredfold. Undoubtedly, Lauren has made me a better businessman and person and KCI a better company. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone who wants to better their business.”

“Lauren’s the best executive hire I ever made. She’s a great operator.”

“There is not a person I have met in all my years who blended professionalism, drive, and knowledge in whatever direction was required. Extremely thorough from start to finish. I would highly recommend Lauren as an asset regardless of the topic.”

“I’ve worked with Lauren for over 10 years on projects for various companies. Never have I seen someone with as keen a sense of financial analysis and model-building — she really gets the numbers. ”

“It was a great day — Lauren worked us hard! Thanks for the opportunity, we really have a fantastic team. ”
