About John Bolden

INGENUTIY is the opposite of conventional thinking. Ingenuity is borne of the recognition that the status quo will not satisfy need. Ingenuity is ‘outside the box’ thinking. Ingenuity is what differentiates the mediocre from the incredible. Ingenuity is what cuts through process centric dogma…INSIGHT is the collective knowledge of what works, what fails and what should give cause for pause. Insight is what propels success by recognizing and dealing with elements of change that are typically overlooked, ignored or taken for granted… INNOVATION is the application of new, fresh thinking to business challenges. Innovation breaks with the tradition of dogmatic responses by seeing things through a different lens, one that spotlights the cause of issues and highlights where opportunities to save time and money; improve quality and attain objectives with less disruption can be found….

“Bringing John in for a couple of days each month during a $425 million project proved to be a wise move on my part. He helped me keep the project on track, head off extremely serious issues that could have cost millions to fix and acted as a confidential sounding board whenever I was in two minds about what to do.”

 

Lorraine Smith-Latrice, EVP & CIO, TSB (UK)

 

“How John is able to quickly surveys the corporate transformation landscape, foresees where bumps and potholes lie ahead and recommends measures to prevent these turning into mountains and/or chasms is remarkable. His reputation for moving fast, running lean and delivering extreme value is well earned.”

 

Thomas Moorefield, Executive Vice President, B AA

 

“Every day, I live through the very issues that John speaks to and deals with, as do readers of Ziff Davis Publications (CIO, Darwin, Baseline).  John shines a light on important elements of business improvement that no business leader can afford to ignore.”

 

Mike Vizard, Senior Vice President & Editorial Director, Enterprise Group – Ziff Davis Media

 

“I was surprised and pleased at just how quickly TLIR was able to isolate key structural and operational issues across my business and recommend corrective measures.”

 

ADM, PMD-MCYS/MCSS, OPS

 

"Those who can seamlessly bridge opposing viewpoints, achieve consensus and be a successful catalyst, mentor and driving force for the common good of both project(s) and the organization are very, very rare. John is one such individual”

 

Holger Kluge, President, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce


“I knew there was a brand new and very significant market opportunity out there but I could only exploit it if a leading edge, nationwide business environment was created in record time. John and his team helped me to assess what could be done, how it should be handled and what to watch for along the road. In short order; my objectives were realized, with minimal risk and significant return on investment.”

 

Wilf Liebert, Chairman & CEO, Purolator Corp

 

“Few can articulate the wide ranging implications and impact of overlooking, ignoring or taking for granted the differences between running the business and improving the business. Very few are able to effectively mitigate the issues and exploit the opportunities inherent in these differences. TLIR does it every day and does it extremely well.”

 

Mike McCloskey, EVP, FI Corp
