Former Lake Schools Strategy Leader And Baldrige Examiner Casey Mackert Joins Six Disciplines NWO

FINDLAY, Ohio, May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Casey Mackert has joined Six Disciplines NWO as a Certified Business Coach.

Casey spent six years as Director of Quality and Communications at Lake Local Schools, Uniontown, Ohio.  Prior to that, Casey served as Executive Director of The Partnership for Excellence, the state-level Baldrige Performance Excellence program for Ohio, West Virginia and Indiana.
 A graduate of Grove City College, Casey has served both the state and national Baldrige Performance Excellence Programs.  During her 10 years at the national level, she has been a team leader, technical editor, case study author and expert reviewer. She was named as an Alumni Examiner and was instrumental in developing the new Collaborative Assessment program.  In Ohio, Mackert sits on the Board of Trustees as treasurer and serves as a state-level judge.

"Casey adds another layer of experience and expertise to our team," said Eric Kurjan, President of Six Disciplines NWO.  "Casey has been instrumental in working with Lake Local Schools in their strategy definition and their Baldrige journey.  Her previous leadership roles, including that of the TPE (The Partnership for Excellence) and her style will make for a perfect match as she aids client organizations with the implementation of the Six Disciplines processes."

"I am very excited about this new opportunity," said Mackert.  "It is such a natural fit moving from my current role into the one of a Six Disciplines Coach.  It gives me the opportunity to share my experience with Baldrige and Six Disciplines and what I have learned over the past 20 plus years in working with other organizations.  The hand and glove fit of Baldrige and Six Disciplines will allow me to help organizations make significant improvements in strategic planning and provide a clear line of sight between individual activities and organizational goals."

Mackert will complete her Six Disciplines certification in July and then begin working with client organizations.
