Based in Richland, Washington, I work closely with businesses throughout the Tri-Cities area, focusing on creating tailored operational solutions that deliver measurable results. Whether you're struggling with team productivity, implementing new technology, or looking to streamline your processes, I provide the guidance and support you need to succeed.

About Dane Operations Consulting

My Approach to Business Success

At the heart of every thriving business is a team of people who understand their purpose and have the right support to achieve it. Throughout my journey from first hire to COO, I've discovered that genuine business growth happens when operations serve people—not the other way around.

Small business owners juggle countless responsibilities every day. The right operational approach doesn't add complexity—it creates clarity. When your processes feel intuitive rather than burdensome, when communication flows naturally, when everyone understands not just what to do but why it matters—that's when your business can truly flourish.

I believe in practical solutions that make immediate sense to you and your team. Whether you're struggling with team coordination, customer experience issues, or simply feeling that things could run more smoothly, I focus on changes that feel right for your unique business culture and goals.

This perspective wasn't learned in textbooks but through real experience: navigating growth challenges, making mistakes, learning from them, and ultimately creating systems that help both businesses and people thrive together.

Technology That Works For You

Operations isn't just about efficiency—it's about creating environments where people do their best work. Throughout my career, I've discovered that the most successful businesses are those where technology serves people, not the other way around.

When your team members wake up excited about their work, when they have the tools and processes that make sense to them, when they feel supported instead of constrained—that's when the magic happens. Your business naturally becomes more efficient, more innovative, and more resilient.

I've walked in your shoes—managing remote teams before it was common, building software that actually solves problems instead of creating them, and finding that delicate balance between structure and flexibility that allows businesses to adapt and thrive.
