If you have a convenience store at a gas station, you need to stock a number of essential items customers might suddenly need, or buy impulsively when they stop to fill up. Nobody does their weekly grocery shop at a gas station.

Nava Klein, PhD.

I have a Bachelor in chemistry from Ben Gurion University, and a Masters and Doctorate in applied chemistry from the Hebrew University. 

I have 27 years experience working at HP Indigo, and 20 years as a manager in a digital field, including managing a R&D department developing degradable materials and products. 

Between 2014-2018 I was CO of HR and part of the management team at my company. Since 2018 I've been the head of the quality, operational excellence and lean production department. 

I specialize in building end-to-end quality strategies, and connecting them to an organization's business results, managing processes throughout entire organizations, and leading transitions from development to production, leading investigation and brainstorming teams as part of developing a culture of excellence, and creating a learning organization.  I also work with improvement teams and developing excellence processes. 

I have proven abilities working with management and translating strategy to improvement processes alongside leading and guiding teams.

One of the questions I routinely ask managers is, how much of their time they spend doing their employees’ jobs (putting out fires, problem solving, answering questions). Most, almost all, say they spend 70% to 95% of their time at the operational level. A level which includes mostly activities which could be delegated, or have officially been delegated.

Statistics show that 70% of all unemployed people in Israel during the third Coronavirus quarantine were women. The lack of symmetry between men and women in unemployment statistics has gotten worse over the pandemic.

Aviv was the owner and CEO of a company, and led marketing and business development. Most sales and growth were in overseas markets, and Aviv personally managed activity in key countries. He spent a lot of time on marketing trips and knew all the overseas clients and distributors.

One of the first stages of personal coaching is identifying personal goals. Not defining, but identifying. We don’t choose pretty words and decide those are our values only because they look good. Personal values are an inherent part of us.

When you get into a cab, the first question the driver asks you is - where are you going? You probably always have an answer to that. After all, you wouldn't get in a cab without a destination in mind. Yet I meet people, and even businesses, with no goals. And without goals, you can’t have purposeful progress.

While hiking the Israel Trail near Dimona, we often use Patrick’s services, to drive us to the starting point, and from the end point. We found Patrick a year ago, when we were looking for a driver and compared prices. But now we don’t compare the prices Patrick quotes us with other offers. Patrick has excellent customer service. Comes anywhere, always a few minutes early, and is flexible enough to change the time if we’re early or late.
