Hi, I’m Mark Graban — Helping You Build a Culture of Learning, Improvement, and Excellence

I partner with leaders and organizations who want more than buzzwords—they want real, lasting change.

As an award-winning author, experienced consultant, and engaging speaker, I bring practical, proven approaches that help teams solve meaningful problems, improve continuously, and deliver long-term value to customers, employees, and stakeholders.

My latest book, The Mistakes That Make Us: Cultivating a Culture of Learning and Innovation, shares lessons from real leaders who turned missteps into momentum. It's a guide to building resilient, innovative organizations—supported by the honest stories featured in my podcast, My Favorite Mistake.

What I Bring to You:

• Deep expertise in Lean management and continuous improvement across healthcare, manufacturing, and startups.
• A focus on psychological safety as the foundation for speaking up, learning, and improving together.
• Recognized thought leadership: three-time Shingo Publication Award recipient, named to the PEX Network “Top 50 Thought Leaders.”

Ready to Make Meaningful Change?

Whether as a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, or hands-on coach, I can help your organization achieve measurable improvements in safety, quality, delivery, cost, and morale.
