Jacob Raymer is an internationally recognized speaker who addresses corporate, public and university

audiences on the subjects of leadership roles and responsibilities, cultural transformation, and how to achieve

organizational excellence with the right behavior and sustainable long-term results. As the Shingo Institute’s

former Director of Education, Jacob co-created the Shingo Model and developed the foundational learning

courses taught at the Shingo Institute. He has trained Shingo examiners and thousands of individuals

worldwide on how to assess and establish lean mindsets and method. In 2006, Jacob pioneered the concept ‘key behavior indicators’ (KBIs). Today many world-wide organizations have now adopted this term and concept to expand their desired outcomes with key performance indicators

(KPIs). By combining KPI and KBI, Jacob’s consulting firm has led the development and application of behavior-

based strategy deployment; building systems to drive the right behavior; and developing internal behavioral

assessments. The United State Airforce invited Jacob to join a team of global subject matter experts to create their lean

leadership development program (AFSO21) in 2006. He was commissioned to lead the leadership

development for United States Airforce Europe – working with leaders throughout 93 countries. His work

challenged leaders’ mindsets around lean tools and how to lead by integrating guiding principles.

After spending over a decade with the Shingo Institute he joined Munson Healthcare, northern Michigan’s

largest healthcare system as their Chief Transformation Officer. At Munson Healthcare, Jacob spent seven

years creating and deploying an organizational lean operating system and alignment framework anchored to

guiding principles that are now integrated into nine hospitals and over 150 clinics.
