About ArbeitSTROM

Professional business consulting made simple.

ArbeitSTROM will help you transform your business using simple, visual methods. “ArbeitSTROM is a German word meaning “Work Flow,” reflecting how we help make work in a business flow.

We use the Visual System of Work^TM to stabilize your business, sustain its operation and scale it to produce greater results.

This simple, approachable method of change has been proven effective on a broad range of industries, company sizes and regions. It is most likely also right for you.

ArbeitSTROM was founded in 2020 by Mitch Sayers after many inspiring discussions with David T. Lord, who had been developing the Visual System of Work^TM since the mid 1990’s. Having received an BSME at Cornell University and his MBA at the University of Michigan, Mitch became intrigued with the simplicity and proven effectiveness of the VSOW^TM and began helping David develop it further, including assisting him with his book, VSOW Toolkit and co-authoring the latest book, People, Processes and Projects – Leveraging the 3Ps.

The Visual System of Work^TM is a trademarked system in use for over two decades to help businesses improve fast through increasing their throughput. This is done in two phases – Building Trust and Driving Focus & Transparency.

The Visual System of Work^TM consists of 5 direction elements, 12 primary tools, and various methods to capture essential aspects of a business, and make them visible and accessible to the employees. This positions the business to drive change in a unified way, increase confidence in operations and eliminate constraints to increase throughput – which then, in turn, increases profit. The same methods can be employed for non-profit organizations to maximize resources in reaching objectives.
