About William Tansey

Bill has paved a long road of disruptive innovation, change & turnaround.Emerging from the New Product Delivery side of both fortune 200 & startup businesses, Bill was fortunate to benefit from unusual, formal coaching from cutting edge examples, in Organization Change and Leadership. As a Director of New Product Delivery with Danaher, Bill was exposed to the practice of Danaher Business System (Lean) directly through Executive Champion Orientation and later demonstrated his strength in execution of it, at both the Danaher Conference on Innovation and Danaher Presidents Council.After transitioning 2 businesses to more successful New Product Delivery, Bill realized his strength in Transformative Change and Leadership, now combined with the power of Danaher Business System, was more broadly applicable. Now regarded as “an expert at becoming an expert” Bill has been repeatedly called upon, when complex problems or underperforming teams needed to be addressed quickly, across many diverse Operations from renewable energy -to- subsea oil & gas, construction -to- manufacturing, real estate -to- healthcare, and beyond.
