LMA Consulting Group and Lisa Anderson celebrate ten years in business by acknowledging 10 individuals who contributed to the many key accomplishments supporting supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, SIOP and ERP consulting business made in the last decade. The LMA Advocate Award was presented to instrumental individuals who participated in the formation and growth of LMA Consulting Group, Inc. and helped steer its successful 10-year course and Lisa Anderson’s induction into the Million Dollar Consultant Hall of Fame.
C. C. Vest, Owner, Midpoint Bearing, one of this year’s LMA Advocate Award recipients, spotted Anderson’s potential early on stating, “I met Lisa 10 years ago. I knew then she was a driven and dedicated individual that was going to be successful in giving her customers the consulting advice and expertise they need in their business.”
Anderson, who was recently named to the top 100 best global supply chain management blogs by SupplyChainOpz, and also recognized as the 16th most influential in supply chain management and sustainability by technology leader SAP in the “Top 46 Resource and Optimizations Influencers (Plus a Few Others),” started LMA Consulting Group to help companies elevate service levels and accelerate cash flow while driving profits. Even while the economy slumped, Anderson was able to apply a proven approach, and even more recently employ the 5P Accelerator Process, to fast track profits and results.
One of the 10 receivers, Mike Brown, Former CEO, PaperPak, is credited for helping Anderson start LMA Consulting Group. Very inclusive and supportive of Anderson, Brown says, “Lisa and the team she assembled were responsible for taking the company from worst vendor to vendor of the year, in a field of 50,000, at our largest customer in 2 short years.”
In addition to Vest and Brown, Anderson and LMA Consulting Group presented LMA Advocate awards to Susan Brunasso, Jim Cenname, Vicki Jeter, Ellen Kane, Valerie Ladd, K Means and Jolene Myers at a recent LMA Consulting Group Open House celebration. “One of my service lines, Profit through People, emphasizes the value of people and culture on business success,” explains Lisa Anderson, President of LMA Consulting Group. “Many of my clients, mentors and colleagues have helped me pinpoint and elevate my services to make a dramatic contribution to manufacturing and distribution success in an ever-increasing competitive industry.
