Summertime…
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”

Founder’s Corner – Joseph Paris
Task Overload
We have all been there at least once in our lives. It might be that we are faced with a single big fat hairy challenge and we don’t know where to start. Or it might be that we are faced with several challenges at once; each one not particularly overwhelming, but together are with each competing for prioritization of our attention; and our becoming paralyzed not knowing which one deserves our attention most.  




I am Joseph Paris. If I were a super-hero, my super-power would be helping people become high-performing individuals as members of high-performing teams in high-performing organizations.
Organizations from around the world engage my companies and me outright to help them become more resilient and in a “state of readiness”.
In addition, I offer a variety of speaking engagements designed to deliver high-energy and high-impact in shorter duration.

These include; my signature and highly regarded workshop and masterclass, plenary and breakout sessions, keynotes, and conference facilitation roles such as panel moderator or chairperson.
Click the link below to receive a copy of my biography and the abstract of my “State of Readiness Masterclass & Workshop” as well as select plenary sessions.


My book, “State of Readiness” has been endorsed by senior leaders at some of the most respected and well-known companies in the world today. With Foreword by Andrew Lambert, FEIT; VP of Production and Supply Chain at SpaceX.

Supply Chains have been strained. What needs to be done to rebuild.

They say that “up to 70% of Operational Excellence and Continuous improvement programs fail.”  
Don’t be one of them. Be the exception, not the rule.
“Fail to plan, plan to fail.” To help you, your program, and your company to be successful, XONITEK has created a Program Architecting Whitepaper where you will find the best practices for the planning stage of an OpEx/CI program.
If you follow our prescriptive approach, the roll-out of your program will almost be anti-climactic.


Even if you already have a program, you can use it as a benchmark to see how your efforts compare.

Interim Talent
Get the Help You Need…
Sometimes we get caught because of an unplanned separation of an employee who was performing a key role in the company or project. Sometimes we have a short-term need for an experienced specialist to help push through a deliverable.
But time is the enemy. This is not a situation where you can take the time to recruit. The need is now, and help is available.


The OpEx Vault


In looking for materials on how to engage socially and collaborate, I decided to look further into one of my more favorite tools, Red-Teaming. In these efforts, I came I also came across three PDF which are approved for public release and whose distribution is unlimited;


Mentorship is when a relationship is established between someone seeking wisdom (mentee) and someone who is offering wisdom (mentor). But what if a mentorship relationship exists but the neither parties know it at the time; a sort of stealth mentorship.
