Meet Peter Papantonis.
Industrial Engineer. Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Nearly 30 years leading real process improvement — from the front line to the executive suite.
Thirty Years
On the Floor.
Peter began his career as an Industrial Engineer on the manufacturing floor, learning process improvement the way it was meant to be learned — by watching real work, understanding real constraints, and solving real problems alongside the people doing the job.
Over three decades he has taken that discipline into hospitals, long-term care facilities, primary care clinics, public sector operations, and independent healthcare groups across Canada and the United States. He is a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt through eZSigma Canada.
Today Peter leads LEANIntoIt as a fractional Lean leader — meaning when you engage the firm, you get Peter. No handoffs, no junior associates, no account managers. Just direct, senior-level Lean leadership embedded in your organization.
Results Come From
Being Present.
Peter's approach is grounded in a simple truth — meaningful improvement doesn't happen from a boardroom or a slide deck. It happens where the work is done, with the people who do it, over enough time to actually change behavior.
- ✓Go to the Gemba. The floor tells you the truth. Reports don't.
- ✓Respect the people doing the work. They know more than any consultant walking in the door.
- ✓Build capability, not dependency. The goal is a team that can carry the improvement forward without you.
- ✓Stay long enough to matter. Culture doesn't change in a workshop.
- ✓Be honest about what won't work. Not every idea deserves a project charter.
