Dr. Leonard Bertain has spent 33 years solving problems and shares his views about the growth of the GIG Economy and how employers should be changing how they are hiring for the economy of the future. Dr. Leonard Bertain is a founding partner at the Consortium of Problem Solvers, an Internet knowledge-based business. The business was developed with Craig Humphreys to help “facilitated” teams of employees to solve problems on-line. It is the Internet version of his classroom program that he has delivered for 30 years. This program provides reach to include employees in disparate locations including remote GiG Workers. They recently launched the product with the successful adoption by a number of Fortune 100 companies.

In a career spanning over 30 years, “Len” Bertain has coached over 150 CEOs to help them correct inefficiencies and lost profits in their business by teaching them how to solve business problems with High ROI Solutions. He created the well-known “War on Waste” program, a preeminent Lean Business tool to guide leadership teams through the problem solving process.

He is the author of five books on High ROI Problem Solving and a frequent speaker to CEO groups. Since its inception, the High ROI Problem Solving uses 5/67 Thinking (5% of the effort generates 67% of the benefit). The program has generated over $1 Billion in first-year profits from over 10,000 ideas, all generated by client company employees. The companies involved in the 5/67 High ROI Problem Solving have been as small as 10 people with Fortune 100 companies at the other extreme.
