Million Dollar Consultant® Hall of Fame Award

I'm proud to announce that yesterday, I was inducted into the Million Dollar Consultant® Hall of Fame, the only product development or lean consultant honored to date.

Here is my citation:

Katherine Radeka: An outstanding professional in lean management and business processes, who has created significant intellectual property and become the “go to person” in her field through her highly effective promotion of her value in her marketplace.

The Million Dollar Consultant® Hall of Fame is bestowed by Alan Weiss, the original Million Dollar Consultant® with over thirty years of experience working with top companies such as Merck, GE and Mercedes Benz, and author of more books on the consulting profession than any other person. The New York Post calls him "one of the most highly regarded independent consultants in America."

Alan says, "These consultants are regarded by peers as being among the world leaders in consulting, as evidenced by empirical accomplishments in client results, professional contributions, and intellectual property."

When Alan's webmaster adds the 2009 inductees to the online roster, I will join professionals like Ed Poll, the person who knows more about running law practices than anyone in the country, Alan Fortier, a strategic planning consultant to the Fortune 50 for over twenty years, and Libby Wagner, whose Influencing Options® is one of the most practical and effective leadership workshop experiences around.

On a personal level, Alan is my mentor in this profession and a trusted friend. My clients and I have benefited from his wisdom in more ways than I can count, and I am deeply honored by this recognition.
