Hello and welcome to AnImprovedBusiness.com!

I hope you can use this blog to improve your business through both incremental and transformational change.

My name is Chris Clark.  I am passionate about operational excellence and in helping to improve businesses by “finding a better way”.  Examples of business improvement include enhanced efficiency and productivity, improved customer experience, and reduced operational risk.

I have successfully implemented technologies that enable intelligent automation and process improvement. I have experience in IBM BPM (certified) and Camunda Business Process Management (BPM) tools, and my Robotic Process Automation (RPA) experience includes BluePrism, UiPath and Automation Anywhere.

I have been a certified Six Sigma Black Belt since 2007.  My information technology education includes an MBA in Management Information Systems from the Williams School of Business at Xavier University.

I am passionate about providing actionable business insights and driving business improvements by “telling stories” via information visualization and advanced analytics. I have expertise in data science, business intelligence, machine learning/artificial intelligence, and information visualization.

In 2018, I completed a Master of Science degree in Predictive Analytics (3.97 GPA) from Northwestern University, one of the top five data science programs in the U.S. My analytical tool experience includes SAS, SPSS, Tableau, SQL, R, Python, Excel, Alteryx, RapidMiner, and Power BI.

I have led many successful programs, projects and teams throughout my career.
